animate water
>> like to make a pipe transparent and show some water moving throug
The simplest method that I can think of would be to create your pipe in the 3D
Lofter with mapping coords ON. Apply an animated opacity map to the pipe that
"reveals" the water moving through. Your map would simply be a screen that
starts all black and grows to all white. When applied to your object, it will
appear to "grow".
Also check out "PYTHON" and "LUGE" from Schreiber Instruments. They do this
same effect effortlessly through via IPAS.
