Step 1 - Transition If you mean something like flipping cards transition - Video Sequencer doesn't have this kind of transitions. You would have to render this kind of transition as black and white animation (or image sequence) and use as a mask in video editor. If you need to keep 3D effect of rotated parts of images you will have to create material for Front/Back side and in 3D editor. ... with Animation Nodes To create transition like this you can try to use Animation Nodes add-on to create a node tree like here: [LINK] [LINK] Node-tree for 2.92 [LINK] Step by step tutorial [this video] is a bit outdated, but it is well explaned. ... with Constraints Another option can be to use Object Constra

Target: Emissive Intensity increases as an empty comes closer, the object is a mesh that is being instanced on a grid ( following Zach Hixson's tutorial [this video] ). I also have a Rotation transformation based on vector distance of the empty and vector list of the vertices of the grid(also following the same tutorial series). [LINK] My Animation Node Experience: beginner What I Did: I Used The rotation value ( 0-180 ) and mapped that to like 0-5 and plugged it to the cycles material output to the emissive strength. Problem: Does not work as intended, instead of it increasing the emissive by rotation, the material is universally changed and seems to follow a single "instance". Solution: Probabl

I'm just trying to follow this tutorial [this video] but when I try doing the same in my computer, the output of the Grid Mesh is different: [LINK] Am I missing something here?
