Whatever the number of the pause value, it doesn't do anything (I could put 0.1 or 10000 it doesn't change anything), the two image will always 'play' at the same speed... I looked everywhere but I can't see why it does that and it drives me crazy lol
If the images are too big .. I dunno ... maybe the speed of the game, the one in the settings, might be messing with how quickly the engine can show them images looped ... might be a trick to the eye
Tried with your first exemple, and it worked!
If I do like your second exemple (without declaring), it just skip all pauses (I'm not sure why, it's basically the same thing, no?).
That said thank you very much again!

The second example (as you did) is by declaring it before; my first example, the one that has worked for you, is undeclared.
I think that as you did it should also work, but I don't know what can happen, as I say, I don't usually declare if it isn't really necessary.
(Have you tried to change the name you declare? "loop", maybe renpy won't like it, try with "loop_1" for example)
BTW, 3,2Mb is quite... Daz generates very big PNG, it's better to convert them to webp or jpg and for sure that size can be reduced to 0.6Mb
The weird thing is, if I don't declare my image and use a direct path ("loop/loop1.png"), it skip all pauses.
As soon I use an alias(declare), it "play" the pause. And it makes no sense for me lol. I'm sure it's something I do wrong and I'm retarded but still confused. (iirc I can add any transitions with an alias/declare but does nothing with direct path method)
Recently ...
One very well known dev put damper on cache in ren'Py and got it from 1GB down to 300MB
for compatibility with slower PCs.
Also ... seemingly nicely coded animation of 3-5 renders full HD using pauses did not comply and did not show ... because game speed was above 30% in the settings.
Fiddle with game speed and text speed ... Maybe too large images just do not compile at high speeds.
show loop:
alpha 0.
"loop01.png"
linear 1. alpha 1.
block:
"loop01.png"
.5
"loop02.png"
.5
repeat
"some dialogue"
just to show, that you can use all of Ren'Py's atl stuff here. you need no pause statement, the value is enough.
and the created image/animation is shown till the next scene statement or you hide the image. however you can show other images infront of it. ok also behind, but where's the point unless your animation has transparent areas.
Hi guy I'm new in Daz and Ren'Py , I want to know how to create a sex animation for my visual novel, please help me if you know and give me some tip for making sex animation

I can't speak for the practice... but I can speak in general terms.
You create a scene in a package like Daz3D.
Then you use the timeline functions to create a "keyframe" at the end of the animation which is exactly the same as the beginning of the animation. Then create another keyframe somewhere in the middle of your animation, select that keyframe as being the active position within the timeline and move your models' arms, legs, whatever to be at the extreme points of their movement during the animation.
Let's call the keyframe right at the beginning "A", the one at the end "C" and the one in the middle "B".
If you render your animated sequence now, Daz would count the number of frames between "A" and "B" and calculate how far each skeletal bone would move per frame. It would then render "A", then move the bones by the amount it's calculated, render the next frame , and rinse and repeat until it reaches "B". Then it would do the same between "B" and "C".
Since"A" and "C" are identical, you can throw away the last frame and then stitch all the rendered images together like it's described above, putting in a tiny delay between each frame if needed.
When shown, it's be like the old style cartoons or drawing a stick figure in the corner of a school book, each image slightly different than the one before, but always returning back to the starting point... so when it repeats, you don't notice where the join is.
A much simpler way is to start at "A", forget the timeline and save it and then render it. Then Save As... "A1" and move the arms, legs, whatever a bit again, save and render it again. What you've created is a 2 frame animation. You create an RenPy image based on those two images. It's crude, but it gets the job done. Lots of games only use 2 or 3 frame animations on a loop.
Now human bodies doesn't move in linear straight lines from A -> B -> C... so you may want "B" to not be in the direct middle, or you may want there to the more keyframes than just 3, to create a more realistic human movement. That's entirely down to your skill and commitment.
In purely practical terms, if "A" and "C" were identical and "B" was directly in the middle... you wouldn't need to render from "B" to "C", because the movements from "A" to "B" would just be repeated in reverse order from "B" to "C". However I'm assuming that using only 3 keyframes wouldn't look right and "B" wouldn't be in the middle and more keyframes than just 3 would be used.
Alternatively, there are a lot of animation assets available on the Daz store. They will take all the "stop motion" animation type movements out of your hands and do it all for you. This is by far the simplest solution... if you can get your head around how they work.
The details in the posts above this one are about stitching images together if you get Daz to render each frame to a separate static image file. Although you could in theory get Daz to render each frame into a movie file instead (.mp4, .avi, .webm, etc.) and just play that instead.

Hello. This tip was really useful for me but i have a little problem here. Without sound my loop plays normally but renpy gives me an error when i try to play a sound file while loop is playing. Is there a workaround for this?

Well yes it works like that i already tested it. In my scene the guy first fondles the girl's ass then slaps at the end, its a loop and i wanted to play an audio at the end of each loop but if i put the audio after 'show' command, then whenever player clicks it, the sound is played and loop is stopped, but if i dont play any audio, the story text continues to appear and loop plays normally.
Ultimately im wanting to play the loop with audio while player is able to scroll through texts. I've made some research on it and it seems impossible as image command doesnt support audio playback. If anyone has a workaround that i would be very grateful.
