Fade-ins & Transparency 2004-02-08 - By leskonley

I can't believe a search on 42,000 records didn't find anything on
the word "fade"!!!
I'm trying to fade in some text (with preset shader "glass") in an
animation: it is supposed to start out totally transparent (I don't
want to see it yet) and I have the "No light interactions when fully
transparent" box checked in the text's shader (does that only apply
to glow?).
Anyway, I have all shader elements set to either "NONE" or "VALUE"
and all values are set to zero (0%), except for transparency which
starts at 100%. When I play the animation timeline while viewing my
working box, the text appears to fade-in just fine, but when I
render the animation the text is still visible from the start. The
light on the stage comes from several spot lights with "light cone"
enabled, so I have background color, but they are not actually
pointing at the text. I just want the text to fade in and refract
the background colors, then in the end I want it to fade out again.
There MUST be an easy way to SLOWLY fade things in and out from
invisible to visible while retaining all the shader properties!
Any suggestions?
