Dynamic Paint Fade?

When using dynamic paint, is there a way to make it fade back to the original texture over time? I’m using dynamic paint to show how friction generates heat when two objects (landscapes) interact, but I want it to glow red just as it contacts and then fade back to the original texture after it is no longer in contact.

Any thoughts?

The canvas has dissolve option.

late response but yep that did it…I’m extremely new but I figured that out. My mind was blown when I figured out how hard it was to make it actually RENDER the dynamic paint in cycles…

BUT that’s the learning process I guess…Thanks for the help!:slight_smile:
