I simply keyframed the transparency on the material so objects faded out. It kind of works but could use more work if I wanted it to look good. Was just put together on the fly for a quick presentation so it was really rushed.

Maya is an awesome app as are all 3d apps. I do still have problems with it from time to time but when I started keeping my files to a more professional standard (no history, clean hierarchy, objects names, shaders textures etc) I find I rarely have any issues. I am currently working a military contract and would love to branch into other areas but it is incredibly difficult to get paid to do this for a living due to the extremely high level of work that people are now creating. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to get paid to do this but I am going to return to the UK this summer to look into other ventures. I am currently working with a small team as we are trying to get all of my work running in cryengine 3. I have also begun creating a level and am shocked as to how simple the workflow is what with having some 3d knowledge. I am hoping to have all of the vehicles, marine, para, pilot and ct characters working in the engine when I leave my current contract at the end of May. I will try to get a render up of the Abrams later which is pretty much complete and I am currently just finishing up the uv's ready for texturing.

edit: did a quick google search and found this which is how I remember them being. but again, maybe this setup is not always the case.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

Thanks for the link Perfecto and agree 100%, is an easy fix though which is my fave kind. This thread will likely go dead for the next 3 weeks but I hope to have something epic to share in about a months time.
Will be back soon!
