Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D Animating between 2 materials

  • Animating between 2 materials

    Hi there,

    Simple problem really, just wondering how to animate between materials. I know how to animate colours, but materials seems a different issue. It just jumps from one material to the other (no f curve).

    What am I missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    I generally just animate the alpha.

    Well, create an object (maybe a sphere), make it editable…
    Import a few textures into the material-editor…
    At frame 0 drag the first material onto your object…
    In the Attributes, in the texture tags Material, set a keyframe…
    Move the time-slider forward…
    Drag another material into the Material window in the Attributes and set a keyframe…
    Move the time-slider forward and continue with as many materials as you like…
    Render the animation…
    All textures will slowly morph into another…

    Cheers
    Nolan
