[Closed] hide objects inside an animation using maxscript

Well I tried several entries at the search field in this forum and nothing, then I found a visibility controller in one tutorial on the web:
It is quite tricky for begginers (like me) since you cannot animate the isHidden property.

Refining the search at Google I found a closed thread which link is:

It works pretty well but one recommendation if one uses $.visibility = true or
$.visibility = false within the animation objects will start to become (in)visible at halfway of the object’s keys so the best way for a sudden (in)visibility is to use the bezier control and keyframe it as 1.0 (visible) or 0.0 (invisible) a frame before of the frame which will hold the desired state.

Thanks

Guimas,

Thanks for following up your own question! It’s always helpful for people who are looking for the same thing.

Personally, I’ve used material opacity to hide objects with maxscript in the past.
