Video captions: Open the menu, Animation, and show the timeline. In VRED, animations can be created with the help of key images. Open the Scene Graph and select the geometry you want to animate. Go to frame 0 and click on the key icon. A keyframe has been set. This means that the current transformation values for frame 0 have been saved. Navigate to frame 50, which means exactly second too, and move your object forward. Again, click on the key icon. Now, another keyframe has been set. The red lines display all of the keyframes in your timeline. The current transformation values for frame 0 and frame 50 have been saved. For all the frames in between, the frames will be interpolated. You can also assign more geometries to an animated object afterward. In this case, define the shadow plane as a child of the vehicle. Now, it will also be animated as a child. Start the animation with the play button.
