Hi there,
I have a model with an incidence driving the transparency, a reflection map and some ambience colour on it. I want to fade the model out so I thought all I'd have to do is keyframe the incidence parameters to fade the model down but I'm having no luck. Is there a way to 'fade' the model out whilst keeping its incidence look?

I are dont know if I've wordeded this correctly mind..

cheers

between the incidence node and the transparency input put a change range node.
set initial range 0 - 1, then set new range x - 1.
if you animate x between 0 and 1 you create a fade.

this is only one of many ways, but it only requires the animation of one parameter and it's controllable, so I'd go for it.

Is there an object disolve parameter?
