I hope that the subj is clear.
During an animation i would like one or more object appear in the scene not suddenly but with a "fade in" and then disappear fading out.

How to?
is it possible using simple animation without using xpresso?
EVERY suggestion will be really appreciated since i'm in the rush for completing the animation film for my degree thesis

Hi

Im using V6.3 but it seems you just want to animate the alpha channel of an object from 0% to 100%?

alpha will prduce a different results and requires some sort of an image or shader even for a flat colour. In version 8 visibilty is animate in the display tag, but in XL 6 and 7 its actually an animaiton track you can add to the object.
