Fading in and out parts of virtual actor...

[k_iwan]

Hi,

I have an actor composed of several meshes. Now, I'd like to fade out one of the part. I did try to use the fade out command but it doesn't work. How should I do this in vizard?

ant = viz.add('Cfortis_16b_fixingAnimation.cfg')
ant.state(2) #running animation
ant.setAnimationSpeed(0,5.0)
Mandibles = ant.getChild('Cfortis_16b_fixingAnimation_Mandibles.xmf')

fadeout = vizact.fade(1,0,5)

Mandibles.add(fadeout)


viz.go()

I attached a screenshot as well.

Thank you for your assistance.

The following code shows how to fade parts of an avatar in and out:

import viz
viz.go()

model = viz.add('vcc_male.cfg',euler=(180,0,0),pos=(0,0,1))
model.state(1)

fadeOut = vizact.fadeTo(0,time=2,node='casual32_m_highpoly.CMFX')
fadeIn = vizact.fadeTo(1,time=2,node='casual32_m_highpoly.CMFX')

vizact.onkeydown(' ',model.runAction,vizact.choice([fadeOut,fadeIn]))

node='casual32_m_highpoly.CMFX'?
I've never seen that 'node' before. I'll give it a try. Thank you for your reply.
