The reference object for texture placement vid has got a lot of applications. I can't wait to see some earthquake type things done based on something similar.

Hello

I'm a new french user at spinquad, so be indulgent for my bad English, I would try to do my best !

For Object Reveals with Clip Map actualy in the demo, the transition between the revealed part of the object and its hidden part is realy strong, like "you see me here, you don't see me there"...

Is it possible to make things more "sweet" during the reveal's process ?
I tried to trigger the gradient but it does not work...

Would anybody have an idea please ?

Lightwave 8?

Lw8 will be fine. Texture reference objects have been in LW since forever ( atleast since LW5.6 ). And gradient texture layers since LW6.0.
