[Paraview] animation with changing visibility

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Animating the visibility is the right thing to do.  If you have not already, try changing the interpolation from ramp to step.  That might be the problem.

To All,

I have searched around a bit for some documentation on this (including
this mailing list), so my apologizes if it has been discussed before.

I am trying to create a simple animation using Paraview 3.4.0.  The
animation desired is: a 3D cube rotates for 5 seconds, becomes invisible
and is replaced with a new object (a slice from the center of the 3D
cube).

It seemed fairly straight forward but I have been running into some
problems.  I have no problem with the rotation (using the Transform
filter) for 5 seconds.  I am running into trouble with changing the
visibility.  Specifically, making the 3D sphere turn invisible and
making the slice become visible at the appropriate time.  I have tried
animating the visibility of an object but am not sure how to do this
properly or what values to set.  I tried working with the assumption
that a visibility value of 0 meant invisible, but that didn't seem to be
working.

Thanks for any help!
