Caroline Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Everything's in the choreography from the beginning, but if you look at each item's properties then there is a property Active. You can turn this OFF at the start of the chor, then when you want it, turn in ON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatso Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 ...or, if you want a laser to vary in brightness or ramp up/down, you can keyframe changes in the Transparency property. When you want no light, set Transparency to 100%. Not to complicate things, but it seems that, for a laser blast, you'd want to try the Glow property. You'll have to experiment with this; I've found that coordinating it with transparency is tricky. Post a video so we can see how you're coming along.
