Animating Color / Material for a Cylinder

By RapBoyX · 2009-08-18

Description

I'm trying to change the color/material of a cylinder , by doing:

cyl.wireColor = white

but it changes it from the beginning of the animation, how can I do that for only a given amount of frames ? - (and also for materials) !

Thanks

Wirecolor is not animatable, but you can animate material.
See this forum topic: Change Material per frame

I saw it but I didn't understand how to do it in code - if you can give me a small example.

Hi RapBoyX!

Try this:
----------------------------------------------------------
for t = animationrange.start to animationrange.end do
(
sliderTime = t
$.wireColor = random (color 0 0 0) (color 255 255 255)
)

----------------------------------------------------------
Create an animated object and evaluates the script. The object changes color every frame.
