Creating an alpha wipe mask in C4D
Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to make a wipe mask in with an alpha map in C4D? Similar to the way the stroke effect works in After Effects…(see this tutorial for an example of the way the stroke effect is used https://videocopilot.net/tutorials/graffiti_writing/ ….I’m trying to do a similar Effect, just on a 3D mesh?). I am using C4D 11 with Mograph 2
Thanks

Look at the CS Tools 3D Stroke : https://toolfarm.com/phorumNew5/read.php?4,4425
Also look at Spline Mask in the Mograph 2 module:

Yeah that’s not quite what Im trying to do. Im trying to wipe a a shader on and off in 3D space similar to animating a mask in 2D? Is there any way to animate the alpha channel on and off So a mesh will fade on or off? -
If you place a gradient in the alpha channel you can animate the knots by control clicking the little circle next to it.
Or you can try the Display tag but it controls the whole object not just the material.

I didnt even think about animating the knots. Good Idea! Thanks

This doesn’t work for me. I can se the animated gradient wipe, but when I render, nothing! What’s wrong? hmmm…

hard to say when I have no idea how you set it up. Can you share the file?
