Hi i wonder is there anything that can help me animate like i create a volume effecter that anything pass through the effecter will unhide from his hiding status?

You could animate the size of your object(s) from 0% to 100% in the time of a single frame.

Otherwise you can do this in Maya, I believe, with some scripting.

A picture to explain your situation would help too.

sorry i don’t have a reference image or video but i found a similiar one, it something like this where the cube show 1 by 1 and form the building so i was thinking if there are a volume effector to control opacity i can do this effect

I was not able to find a tutorial on how to do it, but you can convert all your objects into one mesh and animate a “mirror cut” to reveal the mesh progressively. Remove the duplicate option and it will unhide your mesh as you animate the mirror cut object (in maya).

If you want a more complex effect like in your video, it may require you to animate every object instead of just unhiding one mesh. I have been trying to figure out this effect for a long time, I will start a new thread and link it here too.
