    Animation

    Introduction to animation tools

    Overview of animation in Alias.

    Animation basics

    Use keyframe animation techniques to create movement simulations for proof of concept.

    Prepare models for animation

    Create and name hierarchical groups to control independent motion of model elements.

    Work with animation parameters

    Each item in a scene has a number of parameters that can be animated. Streamline the workflow by isolating the desired parameters.

    Working with tangent types

    Tangent types control the character of motion into and out of key frames.

    Create turntable animations

    View a design in 360 degree rotation.

    Create motion path animation

    Use a curve as the path for animating an object.

    Animate Cameras

    Three different methods to animate the camera to create a fly-through replay.
