How do I create a simple linear wipe effect to reveal a second texture?(Maya)

[fabazo]

Hi there!

I have been searching for 2 days now without any results.

I want to achieve something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xipvqtXEW-4 and/or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYt_-yUzWto

So basically I’m planning on making a dirty car, and then I want to have a linear wipe using a ramp or something similar to change from the dirty texture to a clean/shiny texture.

I got the ‘‘blendColors’’ node to shift the textures back and fourth, but not in a linear wipe fashion. I want what this node does, but just with a wipe effect from left to right etc. (in Maya)

Thanks in advance!

I’m no expert, but Ithink you can do it by attaching a ramp shader as a matte that cover/reveals the underneath shader with another shader, and then u just animate the position of the ramp colors.
