Help animating material

Help animating material

Omar,

Two important points to check.

First - when you go to frame 5 and 'change' the material, make sure you are
recording a keyframe for the material animation.

Second - when you say you 'change' the material, you must use the "paint
over existing material" tool on frame 5 in order for it to animate. Are you
using this tool?
