Fading an object at runtime

I have an object that I'd like to fade at runtime ... in UiKit, of course, I would just set alpha from 1.0 successively closer to 0.0. Is there an equivalent way to do this?

Note: the object is a plane with an image texture (if that helps).

Thanks,

Same thing as UIKit...just fade the alpha of your material.

Check out the wiki (http://sio2interactive.wikidot.com/) and look for the how to work with materials section. Also, check out sio2_material.h file.

If I recall, you can do it something like this (may or may not work...i dont have source in front of me right now):

Code:


someMaterial->alpha -= 0.2f;


It's solved by setting _SIO2material->diffuse->w to the alpha value you want ...
