What's New in Animation

Motion trail improvements

Several new features add to the visualization and analysis of animation depicted using motion trails.
  • Set the motion trail to fade after a specified amount of frames with Fade In/Out Frames
  • Depict animation before and after the current frame as an animated object moves along the motion trail with Show Frame Timing
  • See what animation occurs before and after the current frame with Show Current Frame
  • Isolate the effect of an object's movement relative to the entire animation with the Anchor Transforms option, which is useful when you need to isolate the action of a single transform relative to the movement of the rest of the rig.

See Motion Trail properties for examples of Fade In/Out Frames, Show Frame Timing, and Show Current Frame.

See Analyze animation in World Space for an in-depth explanation of Anchor Transforms.
