Dynamic Paint Coloring

I am new to Dynamic Paint. I am trying to animate areas where the metal of this scythe turns a molten color every time it makes contact with this other weapon, but I want it to revert back to its original material after some time. However!! it doesn’t completely revert. It stays at the bottom of the color ramp. Like so…

Please tell me what I’m doing wrong…

Ive watched your video and i like your style. Therrs a lot going on and it has a snappy feel to it.

Im not too sure about the dynamic paint effect … theres a lot going on amd its hard to pinpoint. My advice would be to crete a new scene with nothing but a ball and a grid, and try out the dynamic paint effects in that before moving over to the fight scene.

Oh, wow. Thanks!

That’s just something I threw together real quick to test the dynamic painting, that’s not the main project.

I just looked at it again. My goal was for the glow to completely fade. I unchecked the ‘Slow’ box under dissolve and it worked perfectly. But thanks for responding.
