Technically a thing I've learned!

I really love this effect, I'm a big fan of Metal Gear Solid, and love invisibility in 3D models.

I would still loved to one day learn how to animate an effect where the object dissolves into being visible again.

[u/doesnotgetthepoint]

Just set up a mix shader between the principled BSDF and your transparency shader and make sure alpha blend is on your material, and then animate the alpha on the BSDF. You could also animate the IOR and FAC on the mix shader.

I more so meant an effect where it crawled off the object, like a device was powering off!

You can drive the shader mixing with an animated texture rather than a flat value to change the pattern

How?
Because tbh I couldn't find a good/this kind of invisibility tutorial on YT.

Just a glass shader with an IOR close to 1

wha that? I almost thought I saw a floating monkey head....hmm, no must've been the wind. Back to patrol.

Why no predator?

‘If it bleeds…’

Is that a monkey face??

[u/Captain_Oh_Yeah → u/SassySauce516]

No that's Suzanne

The predator should watch out.
