Hi guys,

How would you go about creating an animation in Modo 801 with Maxwell emitters, where the light intensity would need to fade in.

In Modo I can just make the emitter plane on or off, so what can I do to render the final animation with maxwell, so the lights slowly fade in ?

An ideas?

THANKS

Cheers Q!

Basically I need the light just to slowly fade in and change intensity from zero to say 5 watts. I tried to do it by driving a channel but only got it to either be on or off. no fading when i had a maxwell emitter material applied to my object!

What about using the dissolve channel in Modo or the opacity channel for the material?

edit: dissolve the emitter geometry - key the dissolve channel @ 100% on your first frame and then the last frame @ 0% that will slowly fade in your emitter geometry :D
