I am using the VAPOR and the FLAME routines to create some very nice burning animations. I am using the animations in an interactive environment, consequently they are cycling all the time. My question is this; is there a way in the settings for the AXP's that the last frame of the animation can actually be a duplicate of or close to the first frame to give the appearance of a seamless and continuous production of smoke and flame? It's fairly obvious (at least to me) to see when the animation starts over. I guess the analogy would be copying frame 0 to your last frame in the Keyframer to make sure that as you cycle, it appears seamless. Is that possible here? Thanks, Chris
