Transition between two materials houdini

[gangland]

Hello guys, i need to make an effect of an terrain desolate to greenish field.

the camera is for aerial view so i suppose to that using materials.

i figured one way to do that by using two materials. one is the brown and the other is the grass, and animated an noise field reveailing the green.

but how i suppose to do that in houdini??

thanks guys!!

Hey!

You can have two materials going into a layer mix then use noise in the alpha just like you said. If you need to give an example just let me know.

hope this helps

You need to promote parameters you want to animate in this context.

[gangland]

but i create in mat context, and there no node to animate

could you post your scene here so I can look at it?
