cinematic fade to black?

[billjarrold]

Hi,

Can anyone point me to the best way to achieve a cinematic fade to black? (Well, what they really want to do is fade to blue).

After our experiment finishes we want it to gradually fade to black rather than abruptly end.

I could use fog but I am not getting good results with gradual onset of fog. I could probably code that better. However, I think there is an easier way, simple elegant way to do this.

Weeks ago I stumbled across something in the manual that seemed to be devoted just to fade to black or really fade to any color, however I did not know I needed it for our experiment then. Now, when I need it, I can't find it in the manual nor the forum having searched on "fade", "black", etc.

(An alternate method might be to change the color of every object. But again this seems inelegant).

Thanks,

Bill
