2.5D Matte Painting Nebula Loop - Blender Tutorial

Hey folks, in this blender tutorial I will show you how to make this seamless animation loop using a combination of 2.5D matte painting and 3d elements. This surreal nebula scene complete with particles and a seamless looping water ripple effect is perfect for demonstrating the principles behind integrating 2.5D matte painting in a 3d pipeline. This blender scene is relatively easy to construct while still containing a few technical gems for all levels of expertise which includes building your own "ping pong cross-fade" node tree. The animation is light on resources and so it renders really fast in cycles render engine.
