Hey dudes,
Trying to do some lame-o animation for a class. How do I animate color change? I need a block to change color when a plane passes over it. I was looking in the help, but it wasn't useful. It said to animate the mix parameter of a material, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any tips?
if you want a switch effect, move the first keyframe right next to the other keyframe. then the animation will take place in the duration of 1 frame, therefore you will get the switch effect.
if you can't figure it out, render the first half of the scene with material 1, then render the second half of the scene after you have applied material 2.
Another (although probably inappropriate for this case) way is to use an avi as the material. make a short animation of solid colors changing and then save as an avi and use it in place of your bitmap image.

if its a basic material, just animate the iffuse color.
thats diffuse
The question is...how? It just changes the color of the material in all frames, even if I key them. I must be missing something.
do you want it to jump from one color to the next? like a light switch (blue=on/red=off)?

Use this!
...yeah I forgot to add you could also use an animated image instead of a movie to achieve the same effect.
In addition google is your friend....
