How to Find MASH Animation Loop Start & End Frames in Maya

How to find the start and end frames of MASH animation loops in Maya

Issue:

When working with MASH in Maya, is there a way to find the point where the MASH animation loops (the start and the end frame)?

Solution:

Currently, there is no available tool within MASH that determines the start and end points of MASH looping animations.

As an alternative, use the following workaround:

  1. Use the Grease Pencil to mark specific points in the MASH animation – this is the start frame.
  2. Scrub through the timeline until all the marks lined up again – this is the end frame.
