Hi everyone!

So far I am loving Octane render but I have ran into a wall when trying to animate a material's opacity. I am using the Maya plug in and it seems that the opacity value of an Octane material can not be key framed. My scene involves piping going from opaque to semi transparent in order to show water flowing. Any suggestions?

Is this even possible? I need to have a project rendering by Friday so it is crunch time. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I just noticed that forum. I probably should have posted it there to begin with.
