I've rolled around some ideas to make this work for what's been requested of me, and I'm feeling pretty good about
it. Again, I greatly appreciate all the tips and info, and will let you know if I need any more pointers.

I do have one more question - is there, or will there be, a way to render objects in browser such that they look to have soft edges? I'm thinking that would look nice inside a glass sphere as part of a lighting effect.

Thank you, for both the sample files and the welcome!

I am pretty new to animation and completely new to nodes - I can see I have a lot of studying to do!

Is there a way to interactively view the effects of changing nodes / node settings in animation, or do I have to keep checking the
results in the html output?

Here's a video of an effect similar to what I want to achieve.

Looking forward to it, and thanks for having me!

Hi all! Glad to see this place up and running, and I expect to be here regularly, given the direction I've taken work-wise. Thank you to
the programmers for an awesome and promising tool.

I would like to create a "chasing lights" effect using Blend4Web - essentially a row of visible lights that go on and off in a directional
sequence, if that makes sense. I see that node materials are possibly involved, but tinkering has gotten me nowhere, and - I guess because Blend4Web is so new - I could find no relevant tutorial, so I'm hoping for more direction. What settings do I need to change to get this
effect, how do I attach those to keyframes, can I see a preview animation in the workspace
(I did find a Blender file posted online that had an effect similar to what I wanted, but could find no way of doing such a preview - it has me concerned about "working blind")?

Thanks in advance for any help!
