How to: Animate Material Properties in a 3-D Scene

This example shows how to animate the Opacity property of the Material applied to a 3-D model.

The following code example defines the LinearGradientBrush used as the Material applied to the 3D object.

<!-- The material specifies the material applied to the plane. In this case it is a linear gradient.-->
<GeometryModel3D.Material>
  <MaterialGroup>
    <DiffuseMaterial>
      <DiffuseMaterial.Brush>

        <!-- The Opacity property of this LinearGradient is animated. See Storyboard below. -->
        <LinearGradientBrush x:Name="myGradientBrush"  StartPoint="0,0.5" EndPoint="1,0.5">
          <LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
            <GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="0" />
            <GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0.25" />
            <GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.75" />
            <GradientStop Color="LimeGreen" Offset="1" />
          </LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops>
        </LinearGradientBrush>
      </DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
    </DiffuseMaterial>
  </MaterialGroup>
</GeometryModel3D.Material>

The Opacity property of this LinearGradientBrush is animated using the code example below.

<!-- Trigger the animation when the 3D object loads. -->
<Viewport3D.Triggers>
  <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Viewport3D.Loaded">
    <BeginStoryboard>
      <Storyboard>

        <!-- This animation animates the opacity of the material applied to the 3D Object. -->
        <DoubleAnimation
         Storyboard.TargetName="myGradientBrush" 
         Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" 
         Duration="0:0:2" 
         To="0.1" 
         AutoReverse="True" RepeatBehavior="Forever" />

      </Storyboard>
    </BeginStoryboard>
  </EventTrigger>
</Viewport3D.Triggers>
