I think I finally got it. It's still hard though. I had to go in and find which frame looked the most like the first one to create a believeable loop. But thanks to everyone for all the help. Akril

I thought I already posted this message. I'll try again. I tried doing what you said, I changed the material to "Object Top" (which really messed up the appearance of the water), moved the material along the X axis using three keyframes (-90 units, 0 units, 90 units), and when I rendered it, the water stood still for a moment, then moved erratically along an axis which was definately not the one I wanted it to move along. Needless to say, it STILL isn't working. I hope there's a way to solve this problem, because it doesn't look like there is. Akril

My mistake... I thought my problem was solved, but after about a half a day of rendering, I saw that this method didn't work. I've changed the object to a square and I've changed the water so that it rotates around the X axis instead, it looks better that way, and it flows fine for the first few frames but them accelerates dramatically and practically goes haywire before slowing to a halt and preceding to flow in the opposite direction. Needless to say, it STILL isn't working. I really, really hope there's an answer to this problem. Thanks in advance, Akril

I finally got it. Thanks a lot, everyone. My only problem now is the long, long time it takes to render the animation, since I want the stream to be flowing slllooowlllyyyy... Akril

I couldn't really find the answer to my question. Also, I'm using Bryce 4, not 5 (I don't know if that makes a difference). I've tried deleting all the keyframes, but that doesn't help. Akril

I checked "Auto Key", and managed to get over one obstacle. When I played back the animation, the material rotated normally until 180 degrees. That's when X and Y jumped to -180. I tried re-entering the values, but then the numbers began going crazy and the water began going sideways instead of around, as far as I could see. This is the same in both object space and world space. Akril

The trouble is, the stream's at an angle, and I've tried making it flow that way, but I can't get it to cycle. Making it go aorund the Y axis is the only way to make it look realistic. And I may be using this technique in some other images if I can ever get it to work.

I tried doing what you said, I ignored the jumping numbers, and when I finally had them all entered in, I looked at all the keyframes, and they had all jumped to -0 on the Y axis. I'm afraid it didn't work. Also, this texture that looks fine in world space but terrible in world space, so I really don't know what to do. Akril

I am using the materials lab, and I've tried everything that's been suggested. I've checked "Object Space" instead of "World Space", I have all the things checked under the triangle icon that you have, I've tried using just three keyframes after deleting all my previous attempts, after I check the second one, the X and Z axes jump to -180 and the Y jumps to 0, and I don't really know what "offset" is. I've STILL got the same problem. Does the fact that this material is a water plane have something to do with it? Akril

Bikermouse: I looked under the topic you said to, and followed the steps. I tried rotating it in thirds, but the same thing happened. when I set the second keyframe to 120, the X and Z axes jumped to -180 and the Y axis jumped to 80, and both keyframes were that way. No change. johnpenn: Yes, I did set the first keyframe. Sometimes I clicked multiple times just to be sure. EricofSD: I've been doing that, I guess I didn't make that clear in my post. I've been asking it so many times. sanvito: I tried what you suggested, and it didn't work. I'm really starting to lose hope here. I appreciate you helping me, but I'm afraid I need even more help. I'm afraid I may have run into a bug or something. Akril
