I'm working on an animation with Cyscles where I'd like to make a simple face animate between being opaque and completely transparent. How can I do this?

  • $\begingroup$ You could use a transparency shader and a mix shader with an animated factor $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @gandalf3 easy as pie, thank you that's the answer. You might post that answer with a screen shot so people who are newer to Blender than me can get it. $\endgroup$

You can do something like in the image below.

enter image description here

Here I have added a simple glass shader to an object and mixed it with a transparent BSDF. Then I simply animate the factor of the mix shader (0.0 - 100% Glass / 0% Transparent ; 1.0 - 0% Glass / 100% Transparent).
