Hi,
Is there a way to simulate animated booleans in octane?
I have a mechanical object and I want to disolve a part to discover the inside.

Thanks.

This feature is not available in Octane yet, but perhaps you could use some kind of animated opacity map to simulate this effect:

Hi,
Thanks.
I have tested this solution. It works.
But unfortunately, my object is a bit complex and I want to change the color of the cut otherwish the animation
becomes to much confused.
I don't know if this is possible.
