[Flightgear-devel] alpha blend and color animation
I'm looking at adding the ability to animate the emissive color properties of model objects. While it might seem unlikely that both emissive and alpha blend would be used on the same object, maybe we should have a color animation instead of a blend animation which can then have multiple property values for all the various color/material components that could be changed. That way we could limit scenegraph traversals if more than one color property is to be animated on the same object.

I needed it for some things, and as long as that's still available I don't really mind. We have two places where it is used right now, so changing the name wouldn't cause much pain either.

I haven't worked out how the xml might look, but the general idea would be that multiple material properties could be manipulated simultaneously, instead of just the diffuse alpha as it is now. In any case, yes the alpha blend will still work, it'd just be a matter of changing the xml.
