Seamless Cycle ?

How do I make the Turbulance node to loop at the end of the timeline so it's seamless, there is a jump from frame 100 to frame 1 ?

Hi,
you can use a system with two turbulence node plugged in a linear interpolate node, using the weight to "cross fade" from the two in the last 25 frames for example...
but, these turbulence node needs to be the same and not time dependant, so i advice you to use the "turbulence center" feature with a linear animation on it. Using the same animation on the second turbulence but shifted by 100 frames...
I have i was clear with my sad english

Turn off Time Varying or Animated, depending which node you are using, and modify the input position so that you take a circular walk through the static turbulence field.

Let me know if you need more details.
