how would I create the morphing eye effect?

[johnl3d]

I used a few materials and change them all with one pose slider just as a test this should point you in the right direction. I'd use a pose with decal switching too

nice creature! lol..thanks John...what effectors did you use to create that material?

 

Also, what if I created one decal with normal color, then in a program such as photoshop I'd color it green? How would I transition in a pose? Can you set transparency on a decal?

[johnl3d]

yes..sort of you can set the % a decal will effect the model ..color ..color % etc

 

 

 

...download the project its just really basic materials ..the "creature" is about the extent of my modeling skills..lol

here is the decal version with the two eye decals when it asks for q.tga and q1.tga the ones on the "model" substitute whatever picture you want they are pretty large and so I did not include them. Just some experiments with PS
