The Animation Library Workshop and the timeline behave more
intuitively.
- You can create camera keys in animation blocks. This helps define the behavior
of the camera throughout the step. The Auto
Centering mode, for example, ensures that the entire motion remains
visible throughout the step. See Composer Help: Animation
Library Workshop > Properties.
- When there is empty space between two existing animation steps, the
application automatically creates an empty space. Contextual options and user
interface improvements let you manage empty spaces on the timeline more intuitively
and efficiently. See Composer Help: Creating Pre-defined
Animations.
- In the Animation Library, if you delete an actor from the model, the
application deletes the corresponding animation keys from the timeline. When this
leaves an animation block empty (devoid of actors), a message informs you that the
animation block is no longer associated with any actor, and prompts you to delete
the animation block from the timeline. See Composer Help:
Creating Pre-defined Animations > Creating a Simple Animation.
- In the Animation Library workshop:
- The Animations area is renamed to
Templates. The behavior of the
drop-down boxes in the Templates area
has improved. When you select several motions in the timeline, the
application empties the drop-down boxes.
- You can update animation blocks using the Update
Selection command in the Animations area. Previously, to update actors in an
animation block, you had to delete the animation block and recreate it with
the updated set of actors.
The Update Motion command updates the
properties of animation blocks selected in the timeline.
