Hi All, Anyone know if it’s possible to animate the opacity of an item in DS4? thanks, gav

Not using the supplied shaders, but in Shader Mixer the Variable brick does give you access to the Time variable.

Thank you I shall try and get my head round bricks and shaders. gav

Of course, I don’t know exactly what you are doing, but when I need something to disappear, I change the scale to zero.

You can animate the opacity using Casual’s MatAnim script:

It’s a bit easier than learning Shader Mixer - although Shader Mixer is an invaluable and fun skill in the long term.

Once again thanks carnite spot on. gav
