animated material

[Master chief]

ok iv just gone over the creating materials tutoral and have made some pretty interesing things , know what id like to know is can the materials be made to move.

 

example i have a for lack of a better term rock that the material makes it look like its electrifyed , id like to be able to make the electric bits move

[TheSpleen]

I agree, I was needing a lava type material where the glowing red parts that showed through the black rock flowed a bit.

this thread was about making materials move.

 

 

It was about making them move on a curvy tube, but basically same issue.

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

[johnl3d]

[TheSpleen]

wow!

That would have been perfect for my Wip!

After the guy was electrocuted I wanted him toasted black with glowing spots still burning.

So much to learn! So much.

Thanks for taking the time to make these.

[Master chief]

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

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

 

properties panel>transform>rotate>right-click>convert driver to>Euler

[johnl3d]

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
