Still trying to figure it out. Someone mentioned ecapsulating in 3d? But Iam lost. There are different things in workspace I would love to be able to keyframe. This question I posted before might help others with similar keyframing questions. Previous post ... Hello, Iam RENDERING TO FILE in the WORKSPACE an animation. I was wondering if there is a way to KEYFRAME the scene/opacity setting? I would like my scene to fade to lower opacity so the objects would be see through. Kind of like a special effect. Just dont know if I can keyframe any of the scene properties in the workspace realtime mode. Thanks much.
