Hey guys!
My boss wants me to animate the material of all the countries in the world.
I have an extruded map of the earth (as on a plane).
During the specific shot the camera moves out from sweden and ends on a last frame displaying the entire world.
During this zoom out my boss wants the materials of the countries to switch to a new material.
So for example sweden first changes material and then scandinavia and then the surounding countries and it continues on spreading until the entire earth is changed to the new material.
My first thought of doing this would be to have a sphere scale up and as soon as it touches a country it would change material.
But I am a big noob when it comes to xpresso so actualy I have no idea at all how to do this.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
I have supplied a c4d file if anybody wants to test it out.
Thanx!
