I have searched around a bit for some documentation on this (including<BR>
this mailing list), so my apologizes if it has been discussed before.<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to create a simple animation using Paraview 3.4.0. The<BR>
animation desired is: a 3D cube rotates for 5 seconds, becomes invisible<BR>
and is replaced with a new object (a slice from the center of the 3D<BR>
cube).<BR>
<BR>
It seemed fairly straight forward but I have been running into some<BR>
problems. I have no problem with the rotation (using the Transform<BR>
filter) for 5 seconds. I am running into trouble with changing the<BR>
visibility. Specifically, making the 3D sphere turn invisible and<BR>
making the slice become visible at the appropriate time. I have tried<BR>
animating the visibility of an object but am not sure how to do this<BR>
properly or what values to set. I tried working with the assumption<BR>
that a visibility value of 0 meant invisible, but that didn't seem to be<BR>
working.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for any help!<BR>
