Color Change (Not Gradual)

mjstehn · Post by **mjstehn** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 8:06 pm

I have an object that I want to start as 1 color and then when it hits a certain frame, I want it to change to another color. I don't want it to change gradually as the timeline progresses. I just want it to go from 1 to another at a certain keyframe. How do I get it to not change gradually as my timeline progresses. Thanks,

Mike

You need to set a keyframe 1 frame before the place where you want the colour to change, and set the attributes to the same as the start, then set the new colour at the next frame.

Regards,

Mike,
Do exactly has Greg post. For example, in a 30 frame project you want your object to change color from red to blue abruptly. Start frame 1 surface color as red. Then set keyframe for frame 14 with the same surface color red. Frame 15 set keyframe with surface color blue. Now go to end of the timeline, frame 30 in this project and set its surface color to blue. That's it.
