Title: two textures
Post by: celmar on 2020-10-19, 15:41:16

Hello! I have a (small) problem that I can't solve: on a map, I have two bitmaps. If I want to alternate them, I can put in the "opacity" channel a white color, and animate it in black color... only, the "opacity" channel is already used by a mask on the bottom of the shot... If I suppress the white/black color, using "layer", it doesn't work, or I don't adjust well...  How can I animate from one image to another, leaving the mask at the bottom of the image for each one? Thanks for your help!!

Hi, Can you share a visual example at all?

I'm with beanzvision here, hard to tell what exactly you want to achieve.
The only thing that comes to mind would be what I posted with the screenshot: If you have already an opacity mask influencing what is shown from the diffuse, you can use a plain color as layer mask (see screenshot) animating from white to black to make the diffuse disappear while keeping the outer mask.
