Animating Position - Ulead COOL 3D User Manual

Animating position

When you want to spice up a project by animating an object's position, the Animation Toolbar
and Timeline Control bar allow you to work on multiple timelines as well as make the proper
adjustments on the image's current position per key frame.
To animate position:
1 Insert an object, then set the total number
of frames to 30.
2 Move the Timeline Control slider to frame
25 or enter 25 as the current frame. Click
Add Key Frame.
3 Click Move Object on the Location Toolbar.
4 Drag the object to a desired location or set
the coordinates to your preferred position
on your desired plane (be it X, Y or Z) for
that particular frame.
Note: Displaying the Axis Indicator might give you a
better idea on which plane to locate your object. Click
View: Axis Indicator.
5 Click Play to preview the animation.
To animate the position of two objects:
1 Insert an object into the project and set the
total number of frames to 30.
2 Select Position in Properties. On the
Timeline Control, add key frames at frames
10 and 20.
3 Click key frame 1 of the animation to select
it.
4 On the Location Toolbar, click Move Object
and set the values of X and Z coordinates
to -350 and -200 respectively. The object
disappears off the screen.
5 At frame 10, set the X coordinate to 0. Do
not adjust the Z coordinate. At frame 20, set
the X and Z coordinates to 100 and 3000.
The Y coordinate should remain at 0.
