The best way I can think to do it is to borrow the method from the GSG card flip tutorial; that is, control visibility with a noise in the shader effector (influencing a mograph color shader in the cloner material’s alpha channel). Then animate the noise shader’s high/low clip values accomplish the fade.

Yes, that suggestion works. All you have to do is follow the steps I demonstrated above. Then, in addition, create a material with the Mograph Color Shader in the color and/or luminance channel, and put the material on the cloner. The colors will render even if you use render instances.

Unfortunately it won’t work with render instances, but here’s a quick demonstration of how to set it up if you can live with regular clones: https://youtu.be/O4Oq1HN9W4c

I’m a little confused as to your current setup, but basically anything that’s a moving mesh can only be moved by another dynamic object, whether it’s another moving mesh or a keyframed static object. Maybe this stripped down scene will help.

Put external compositing tags on the animated objects (I think you have to bake them to keyframes). Then check the “export 3D data” box in the Render>Save>Compositing Project settings. When you save out your .aec file and open it in AE, you’ll see animated nulls representing your objects’ position.

Don’t use a poly selection tag. That will make it the only texture on those polygons (hence seeing inside the ship). I would make sure the texture tag is right-most in the list, use flat mapping, and then use Texture Mode (icon below polygons mode) to move/scale/rotate the texture into position. If you’re using R15 or 16 enable the Axis Modification icon when manipulating the UVs.

Did you apply the alpha material with a polygon selection? If so, that’s your problem.

I think what you’re seeing is not a reflection but rather the inside of the ship. Can you show a screenshot of your object manager?

Seems to work fine here (R16).
