Many 3D Canvas Operations can have their effect animated. Any operation that supports
Update on the Object Layers
Panel or the Operation Adjust Tool can be animated.
What follows is an explanation of how to animate a Burst Operation.
Apply a Burst Operation to the sphere by clicking .
Click OK. At time 0 in the animation we don't want to have any Burst effect.
Move to time 1 with the animation slider.
Select the sphere if it is not already selected. Click
Update on the Object Layers Panel. This will open the Burst
Operation again so that you can set an effect for time 1.
Move the Burst slider one unit to the right.
Click OK.
Repeat this step for time 10 of the animation, setting a maximum burst effect.
We now have an sphere that Bursts during animation.
Press play to
preview the animation.
This is a very simple Burst effect. For a more explosive effect combine the Burst
Operation with the Swirl Operation.
You may want to speed up the animation by changing the number of animation Keys per
Second. You can do this by clicking (Animation Properties) on the animation
toolbar.
