Animation Terminology: Looping

Looping 101

Loops are like the never-ending hamster wheel of animation. They're a cycle of repetition, where the animation starts, repeats, and starts again.

• Looping: The act of doing the same thing over and over and over.
• Looped Animation: An animation that loops.
• Loopy McLoopface: A person who's been trapped in a looping animation.

Types of Looping

• Forward Looping: The animation goes forward in time.
• Backward Looping: The animation goes backward in time.
• Reverse Looping: The animation reverses itself.

Don't worry, it's not as confusing as it sounds.
