    Posted by Colinmcd on June 20, 2005 at 7:01 pm

    Hi all,

    Looking for another bit of help here. I have two images created within C4D, each of a map of the UK. One is in a cell effect i.e. gridlike (layer 1) and the other in colour (layer 2). I would like to fade the colour one in by use of a glowing line moving from north to south – is this possible with 6.5 standard?

    Cheers,

    Colin

    You could animate the position of the the line. Then animate a mask to match it, revealing your image below. That is my .02 but someone may have a better solution.

    Thanks Nathan – now managed to get the mask moving and revealing the layer below.

    Does anyone know of a way to get a glowing effect that will follow the line of the mask as it reveals the layer below?

    Sorry for all the questions guys!

    Cheers,

    Colin

    Duplicate your wiping layer,
    pre-compose it, go into the comp and duplicate it again, set the top-layer to difference mode. you’ll see nothing but black.
    Now shift the bottom layer a few frames earlier.

    You’ll see only the difference of what’s been changing in the last frames.

    Go back to your main comp, set the mode to add, do a blur and perhaps a colorize.
    Or a glow, or starglow or a shine, etc..
