So I have multiple objects (theyre instances actually) with the same material applied, im essentially animating a coin pickup, so i wanted a way to decrease transparency of the objects when my charcter comes close to them.
Is there a way to do this?
I know I can use the visibility options but thats too quick for my taste hence I wanted to do it via materials
If you want to animate separately the materials, you’ve got two solutions. Make unique user for each objects data so they can have a unique material. Or ifyou want to keep instanced meshes you can assign material by object instead object’s data.
(triangle icone by the end of material name).
then use a driver like this…
as you will “leave” the coin the distance ll increase, so you ll have to hide it before going to next coin…
hope it s clear …
You could probably assign the driver to a value node instead, and use a greater than node to give it a threshold. You probably want the coin to disappear abruptly rather than gradually fade out.
ok thank you all ill try these solutions!
can i use this driver to change the visibility option as well?
