I have problem with looping this animation:

here’s anim curve with relative repeat as out of range frames:

and here’s with loop which as you can see creates jump:

#2

well the curve is showing right there that the start an end are not the same if they are not the same value your not goin to get a loop its always goin to pop.

#3

but how to set it to be the same? If I make them the same it’s starting to rotate the other direction.

#4

Try finding a start and end angle that are the same in multiples of 360 degrees. What I mean: let’s say the start angle is 90 degrees, then make sure that it ends or cycles at the 90+360 degree point (or 450 degrees). Also make sure that the tangency between the start and end flow into each other.

Also, I see that you have two axes that are being animated (x and z). One other option is to create a rig for your object where you animate only one control and one axis.

Hope that helps!
