Hi there.

I have made a 3d Spectrum analyser , its made of rectangular boxes 16 rows and 16 boxes in each row.

So i have made my cam from Bottom Left corner to Top Right over 96 Frames.

What i need to do, is make some of the blocks disappear and re appear as the cam pans across.

In sketchup i did it by HIDEING the component (block), make new scene, then un hide it..

Is there a similar method in Maya?

Than alot

John

You can key visibility on/off for an object in the attribute editor, or key the transparency of an object thru it’s shader, which will allow you more flexibility with with different effects if you want a fade or something rather than just on or off.
