Animated Light Material Values(?)

[aTanguayII]

We use light materials for a few different automotive-related uses.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems that light materials' values can't be animated. This is something we could really use. Is it possible, and/or am I missing something?

(I've been testing with Maya produced VRSC files. Making simple shader balls with self-illuminated VrayMtls, and animated LightMtl values.)

Animation on materials and textures is not supported at the moment.

Ok, so at least I'm not crazy.

Any idea if that's on the roadmap?

[vladimir.nedev]

It is, but there is no set date.

It's a bunch of different subsystems that will require animation support - materials, legacy texturing and shading graph texturing.

If you need only a limited subset of the material properties animated, maybe we can do something faster.
Can you attach those example scenes ?

Thanks! It's good to know it's on the horizon.
