#How to Fade Bckgrnd
9 messages in this thread
I have a flying logo with a scanned in background. What is the easiest way to
have the background bit map fade to white leaving the logo against a white
background? By the time of the fade the logo will have stopped moving if that
makes a difference. Any suggestions for a newcommer to 3ds will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks all,
Steve
Steve:
You could apply the background to a box, and have it morph to white over the
course of your animation, or
You could render the logo with alpha on against a black background and then
composite it against the proper background in video post (my choice).

Greg,
I think I will try rendering the logo with alpha and then composite it against
background in video post. I've never tried this before but I don't know any
other way to learn. Thanks very much for the response!
Steve.
P.S. I love Inside 3d Studio
Steve:
Try it, you'll like it! Let me know if you have any other questions on it.

BTW – are there any national chains (like Walden or Dalton's) which carry the
book? I can't seem to find one here in Charleston…
Mike:
Yes, I'm sure a few of the nationals have picked up "Inside 3D Studio", not
sure which, though! Just call around, or you can order direct from New Riders
Publishing, many 3DS dealers, or my old company at (714) 957-1616.

Yes, you can get it from either; you just have to go up to the desk and order
them.

If the logo is truly stopped by the time the fade is called for, just render it
(logo) over a white background and fade this still image in over your final
frame in Video Post. As long as the logo is not moving and identical, only the
background will appear to change.
