hide objects?
-
24 Feb 2008how can i hide/show objects that have the same material in different times.(changing the opacity of the object) i could copy the material several times but then then i had to make every adjustment to every object over and over again and i probably could ran out of material place.
so any ideas? -
24 Feb 2008I don't understand the question...however, in the matieral editor, there is a little button off to the right that looks like an arrow pointing towards 4 balls that allows you to select all objects that have the current material applied. You can use that to select the objects with that material, and then hide them.

25 Feb 2008oh me and my english
i try better this time
i mean actually the hiding or showing like you did in your sony style animation.
while turning some object that it is revealed but you made some of them with opacity if im not wrong or
how did you do it actually
and another question about your workflow you first modeled the "normal" version of the objects and then chopped it down or did you model it so it can transform from the beginning.
im right in the middle of my seniyor project and already 3 weeks behind my production table
so that would be really cool if you could answer this
thx in advance

25 Feb 2008Oh well you can animate the visibility of an object. Just right click on it, goto properties, and you'll see the visibility value
