Animated decal

[Ullis]

Hi,

 

I would like to make my character blush with an animated small decal on the cheeks. I have made a decal with transparency but I can not make it appear or fade away in an animated scene. I feel I am missing some vital facts here, sure it must be possible to do in some way?

did you enable "Show more than drivers" in the chor?

[johnl3d]

You have to animate the Percent of color of the decal

 

Here is a simple example using thoms head a decal and a simple pose controlling the percent of color of the decal a moved the pose slider back and forth a little on the sample

Thank you Robert for the tip of enable "show more than drivers" in the chor, that was the start that I had missed. Thanks John for the example, that is exactly how I had hoped that I could make my character blush too. But whatever I try to do I can not connect the pose/relationship to the percentage of texture color. I have tried a million times by now, and I must be missing something more.... It is either on or off and not connected to the pose slider.

Try this:

 

1) apply blush decal to model

2) set the blush decal color = 0% (in the model)

3) start a new relationship - New/pose/percentage

4) in the relationship - turn on "show more drivers"

5) Relationship should start off with % of pose slider = 100%; then set decal color % = 100%

6) move % of pose slider to 0%, set color % = 0%

7) close relationship window, save model

Thank you for the detailed help, now it is done and understood. I will work a little more on the texturing later.

That looks like it worked very well. Is she some kind of molecule?

[Ullis]

Yes, she is a CH3-OH, miss Methanol, so she has kind of a funny shape...
