bend a grid

[Doeke Wartena]

I want to bend a grid a bit like in the image:

It has to be animated from a flat grid to that, how can i do that?

I tried deform by curve and bend and some other stuff but it all didn't work.

Fold works....

If you want some more control, use a lattice with clusters controlled by nulls.

Animate the nulls.

First my texture folded as well.

I had some problems with rendering (still do).

And now my texture doesn't fold with it anymore.

Also how can i render transparancy?

Now i have by material > openGl display the flag for 'use alpha mask' on. This works great in the viewport but it doesn't render!

Have you frozen the texture projection?

no, how can i freeze only the texture projection. I select Texture_support and do then freeze but it has no effect.

Move (drag) your fold deformer above the modeling stack; use wither the shape modeling stack or the animation stack, and then FreezeM.

Go to your texture editor (Alt+7). Edit > Freeze

Have you got a screen grab of the render and your render tree, to put it into some context?

Under Render->Pass-?Edit current pass, there is Render Channels Output

Select under Filr name , Edit and change output format to PNG and right from that make sure it says RGBA.

That should take care of rendering correct output, now there could be something else in scene to affect your alpha too.
