What is the most efficient way to fade-in/out gameobjects?

Unity Engine

What I need is to control the activation/inactivation of 3D gameobjects in timeline with fade-in/fade-out effects, that’s all.
The thing is, I can’t use the ease-in/ease-out through activation track. So does it means I have to start two track? one activation and one animation? also the mesh.renderer.Material._Alpha not really works, so I have to use the material._color for each of the gameobject, if they have different color. Are there anyone knows a more sophisticate way to manage it?

Thanks very much in advance!

2 tracks is a common way to do this, and animating the material alpha/color is one way, as long as the material is using a transparent shader (the material might need to be changed).

Fading objects is something that is always more complex than it seems it should be :slight_smile:

@adenovirus are you satisfied with dither transparency (less error prone/ uglier) or you got to have standard transparency as sean_unity said, might be more complex and full of surprises :wink:
