Hi,

I have a bunch of clones which I want to assign random colours to. That works fine using the random colour node piped into a gradient, but now I want the clones to randomly fade between different colours over time (like christmas tree lights). Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi,
have you tried to animate the Seed value of the Random Color node?

Hi Beppe,

I tried animating the random seed but that gave me a random value on every frame with no interpolation. Hoping I can find a way to fade between the random values...

Hi Ximon,
you could make a copy of the random material, give two different seed animations, create a Mix Material of the two random materials, and animate the amount of the Mix material, to have a smooth transition.
You can do the same also with a Mix Texture node, instead of a Mix Material.
