[SD/Modeling] Mdlvis Transparency?

[StonemaulMidget]

Hello again,

I want to know how to activate and use the Transparency inside Mdlvis.

Any assistance will do.

The visibility of what?
Geocets?

Geocets?

Yes.
Sorry for not being clear.

 

[DREADMAN]

Yes.
Sorry for not being clear.

The visibility of geosets cannot be configured via mdlvis, the easiest way is through the Magos editor.

At some point this option used to work, with the current (I think) version, it's all messed up and you can't tick/untick geosets properly

The safest bet is manually editing geoset animations in Magos yes

Via GeosetAnimation?

 

[StonemaulMidget]

How, then, do I make one geoset fade-in and the other fade-out?
What numbers do I type to make a geoset slowly appear and the other disappear?

 

[Chaosium]

Let's say your animation is from 0 to 1000 (1 second long)

Your geoset animation could look something like:

0: 0
100: 0.1
200: 0.2
300: 0.3
[...]
1000: 1

0 is invisible, 1 is displayed in full, 0.1 would be 90% transparency, you get the logic. You probably want to make it happen fast enough so that it looks smooth

It's hard for me to explain to you, send me a model, I'll try to make it for you,then you'll see for yourself how I did it

I actually got this now, but thank you for the offer.

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Actually, if I could ask a favor...
You know how there are some spots in which are dark, especially at the front? On MdlVis, I tried manually reversing the normals so they appear lighter, but it's much work.
Is there an efficient method for reversing all the normals, so everything appears either light or dark?

 

[DREADMAN]

Hmmm
No.
You should do everything manually, but I advise you to adjust the normals last, because if the model is edited in magos or retera, then all the normals will break
Edit:
I advise you to use the tool that I marked green to set up the normals, because when editing this tool, you will not have broken normals even if you edit the model through other editors.But this tool adjusts 90% of the normals.
