So, I'm new to Blender and I'm trying my best to complete my first project. I've modeled a logo in 3D: it's similar to a winding film strip, but a solid color (color A on the top of the film strip and color B on the bottom of the film strip) instead of textured.
My end goal is to have this 3D object with an animated mask of sorts, so that it wipes down the length of the film strip to the end side, revealing the logo completely, and then the loop starts back over from the start side of the film strip, hiding the logo completely. Essentially, you can think of this as a Loading Screen icon of sorts. Just a continuous loop where the logo is revealed along the path and then hidden along the path. (edit: Here's a quick mockup of the different stages of the animation.)
Is this something I can do with an animated boolean? That seems to be something I've come across that might work, but I'm not sure. I've attempted to apply a Boolean modifier to a test Cube to see if it interacts properly with my Bezier Curve mesh and I have no results. Here's a screenshot of my scene and properties.
If you have any advice on a technique or tutorial I can use, I am happy to do some more digging into this. Just looking to turn this project around soon and needing some direction.
Thanks so much!
