animate object visibility

[digital_technologies]

Dear Vantage team
It would be greate if we can use vantage live link to render animations of objects visiblity, gradually. Often we want to make things appear and disappear in our scenes and the easiest way would be to keyfram object visibility in object properties of max. Currently vantage supports 0 or 1 not the inbetween values.
The only way I have currently found way to animate is throught refraction of material, but it is laborious.

Hi digital_technologies,

We have that request logged but cannot say when it will be implemented.

Best regards,
Alexander

Hi, is there some news about visibility animation? very important for me.

[Alexander.Atanasov]

Hi daubert_sebastien,

No, there isn't much development on the gradual interpolation of object visibility. I will try to bump up its priority.

Best regards,
Alexander

It would be great, thanks Alexander.

Dear Vantage team,
Visibility animation is very important in practical projects.
Developers are kindly requested to implement this feature as soon as possible. Thank you very much

You should be able to animate the opacity of a material, and perhaps link this to a controller? Obviously you'd need to duplicate the materials for each object that fades.
