I've been working on a 'digital stopmotion' setup using geometry nodes, it basically cycles through some selected objects to create a stop-motion effect. Currently, it goes through these 5 objects to create a flame, but only does it once since it's based on seconds so the number keeps going up. I'm looking for a way to use the "Number of Meshes" Integer to give it a limit and loop it back to 0.

I know I can use an Integer to just key the numbers going up and down but it would be great to have this automated for more control.

If you move (or link) your objects into a collection, then this sort of arrangement will automatically cycle through them in their name-order:

  • $\begingroup$ Hi, thank you! This is exactly doing what my setup currently does as wel (yours is a smarter setup though haha). The issue is that it only does this once, Im looking for a way to make it loop (cycling from object 1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5 etc.) without having to key the numbers myself $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ To make it loop simply pass the "frame" through "math: modulo" to convert infinite to periodic sequence. $\endgroup$
