10. Now, under the cover of the explosion
flare's “blinding radiance,” we're going
to make our 'droid disappear. (If you
wanted to be really “filmic,” you would
dissolve in charred, short-circuiting
debris the
moment
the 'droid dissolves
out, but for the sake of brevity, we'll
just let the tutorial suffice with the
'droid simply vanishing.) Under

Dissolve
, click on the
E
button, and
enter the Dissolve Envelope for the
ProbeDroid. It only needs two keys,
with values and times as shown in Fig-
ure 17-58. With the key at frame 42's
Incoming Curve set to
Stepped
, the
'droid remains visible (0% dissolved)
until that frame, whereupon it “bipps”
out of existence.
