Title: Object Visibility
Post by: drew on 2023-09-04, 07:03:20

Hi all,

I am creating an animation where I want to adjust the visibility of an object from 100% down to 0% over the course of a dozen or so frames.

If I was using native C4D renderer's, I would use the "Display" tag and keyframe visibility using opacity slider. But because I'm using Corona, this function only works more as on on/off function, and doesn't support fade transitioning.

Is there another method I can use, using some sort of a Corona Tag? Any help would be great. Cheers!

You can animate its material "opacity" value.

If it is of any help you can also use Xpresso (Set Driver / Set Driven) to "sync" the material's opacity value with the one in the tag. That way you can use the tag to control the material. It can be handy sometimes.
