Animated Surface parameters

jmucchiello

Is it possible to animate the surface parameters of a figure? Say I want something to fade in or fade out. In my mind, you go to the surfaces of the figure. Set the opacity to 100 on frame 1, set it to 0 on frame 10, and animate should fade cause the figure to fade. 

But it doesn't. Is there a tool for this?

Directly, no, but you can link a material property to a node proeprty - and that will animate. This needs to be done via a script, see
