Looping videos are essential for practical applications such as web graphics, game development, and social media. However, existing approaches typically fail to generate high-quality looping videos due to the neglect of how video generation models perceive temporal order and how this relates to the looping behavior. In this work, we are the first to reveal that position embedding at different attention layers within DiT exhibits varying levels of positional control, with the most pronounced layer acting as an anchor. We formulate this anchored layer as the reference point of the looping video, offering strong contextual priors for the remaining layers to facilitate the generation of seamless and coherent video content. Based on this insight, we propose an anchored position embedding shifting strategy that applies layer-specific shift lengths according to each layer's temporal control effect, effectively transforming DiT's temporal perception from a straight line to a circle. Leveraging this strategy, we develop a general framework, Loopy, for high-quality looping video generation, supporting both RGB and RGBA videos, while also enabling advanced AIGC features such as identity control and style transfer. Experiments demonstrate that our approach significantly improves temporal consistency and visual fidelity in generated looping videos.

Realistic integration of user-specified textures into scene images is a fundamental task in computer graphics and image editing. While existing material transfer and reference-guided inpainting methods can edit surface appearances, they often fail to address the specific requirements of texture tiling. This task necessitates precisely repeating a reference pattern according to user-defined parameters such as frequency, orientation, and scale. Furthermore, current generative approaches often struggle to maintain the structural fidelity of the reference texture, limited by either destructive pixel-level resampling or the lack of fine-grained spatial information in semantic image encoders, and they frequently fail to preserve the coherent lighting and geometry of the original scene. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for controllable and high-fidelity texture tiling based on Diffusion Transformers. Our approach introduces two key technical innovations to decouple spatial manipulation from content generation. First, we propose a Coordinate-Transformed Rotary Embedding mechanism. By applying 2D affine transformations directly to the relative positional embeddings between the target latent and the image condition, we achieve precise control over tiling patterns without explicit pixel warping, thereby utilizing the full information of the reference condition without degradation. Second, a Disjoint Attention Mask is employed to shield reference features from semantic leakage. This preserves structural integrity while seamlessly blending the synthesized texture with the scene's original lighting and geometry. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both control accuracy and texture fidelity.
