TheSpleen Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I agree, I was needing a lava type material where the glowing red parts that showed through the black rock flowed a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 7, 2008 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 7, 2008 this thread was about making materials move. It was about making them move on a curvy tube, but basically same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J90 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Used a material found in the library that is applied to a copy of a sphere. Then the sphere scaled a little bit to be larger to be on the top layer. then animated The material rotates 180 degrees on the Y axis Example.mov Example.prj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master chief Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 well thanks to your help i managed to create a moving materail if any one could tell me how to change the driver of the rotation so i can go 360 degree instead of 180 that would be nice orb.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnl3d Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 As stated you click on rotate choose new relationship then right click change drivers .... this is a bit quick but if you manually scroll the qt you will see the material rotate rock2.mov rock2.zip added the streaks just for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
