(Blender Internal) Texture Switching? I want to switch between textures, kind of like key framing them, and i tried this by clicking on the texture check mark, inserting a key frame, scrolling down further on the timeline, and inserting another keyframe, but it didn't work. Is there a way to do this and is there a way to make the texture switch a smooth transition?
Animating the use_texture property should change textures but will give a sudden change not a nice transition between textures.

The influence settings of the texture can be animated allowing a texture to gradually replace another texture.
