Hey everyone! I'm trying to animate a change from one shader to another in Maya. I've tried the utility node "blend colors" but it doesn't carry though all of the attributes of one shader (such as transparency and glow).

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

hi my friend :)
i think "mix8Layer" shader could help you.
it has amazing option including "blending mode" like photoshop
exactly...

give it a try..

My Opinion...
i think you should do it "Post" in composting not in
3d, Coz in this case you will have all control on it. i mean
you could render a pass "alpha" or even black and white
and deal with it in composting ... to do the transition between
shader A and B.
