Opacity Keyframe?
hi all,
is there something similiar to the opacity keyframe in After Effects?basically fading an object on and off?
often i use the “visible in editor / visible in render” keys, but that doesn’t always work so well…
any help is appreciated…

You can add a visibilty track in the timeline. If that doesn#t work for you, then you will manually have to keyframe the material channels. You can anaimtae the transparency, but because in CG even transparent objects can have specular highlights, you’d have to animate that, too.

If you turn on the alpha channel and animate white to black I’m thinking that should do it. Should take care of specularity and all the other channels (I think, but worth a try).

Select the object, then go to Tags > Cinema 4D tags > Display. In that tag window check the Visibility option and change the value there…..I just discovered this today.

Just for those you wonder why it doesn’t work, it works not in viewport but in the render
for viewport use a material with color in alpha channel (make that color gray)
