Sequence animation fade

[paolodiluca (Paolo)]

So I’m animation these stats numbers. I want to make a simple fade, and that part i know. I just animate the mix shader slider and that’s great. However, I wanted to make it on each line of text, but in a way that they go on a sequence, one after another. The obvious path would be to assign each material to each line and animate one by one (very tedious). However, I assume there’s maybe a way with geometry nodes? Perhaps a proximity empty that as it goes down, it activates the material? Can some GeoNodes Wizard help me, please?

If you have “lines” then their “height” (Z-value) differ. So why not using this (subtracted by some maximum) as offset for the animated fade ?

it depends how you “made” your text.

Assuming you have a text object for each line you can do this:

just add an empty, animate the empty and by subtracting the y position, you can change the alpha value.

result:

Oh my, this looks great! Could you please send me the blend file?
