Creating Animations Contents Creating Basic Animations You can create an animation by dragging the time bar along the timeline to a point in time, and then moving a component to a target location. The MotionManager moves the component from its initial position to the position that you designate at a specified time. Camera-Based Techniques Animation Techniques Animating Visual Properties You can change visual properties at any point during the animation. Animating the Camera View Orientation You can impose a motion on the assembly through the animation by changing the view orientation of the camera over time. The camera view orientation defines how a model is viewed during animation. Changing the Interpolation Modes in Animations You can use interpolation modes in an animation to control the acceleration or deceleration of changes between key points.
