Model SFX Edit

[Nudl9]

Hello, i'm working on Warcraft Royale and i need this model "Ceiling Rays" for an ability called Supernova. Where the hero channel a blast of light which deals a ton of damage. However i need a vertical SFX like Ceiling Rays. The request is to make the model have a fade in, fade out animation. As well as scale the model down in width. By 30-50% ish.

Should the fade in/out be in the same animation, or in separate birth/death animations?

One problem is that making a model fade requires the material layer to be changed from Additive to Add Alpha, in other words, you might see the look of the model changed a bit, and I don't know of a way that makes a model fade-able with an Additive layer.

I am going to make a fade in - I just need to know first if I got it right.

Birth would be fading in.
Death would be fading out.
Stand animation would be default pose.

I'll try out the model to see what works and what doesnt.

edit:
It looks really good, fits perfectly for this ultimate.
The only thing missing is a fade in effect.

Here you go.
It now has a Fade in 'Birth' animation.
