Animation in Alias

Module overview

Alias offers a variety of animation tools that help you to create movement simulations, which can aid in proof-of-concept model development. By learning how to combine keyframe animation and hierarchical grouping techniques, users can independently control the motion of different model elements while streamlining the workflow.

Additionally, you can learn how to control both your cameras and your model objects to create a variety of motion characteristics, such as turntable animations and fly-through replays.

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Identify and utilize the animation tools available in Alias to create movement simulations.
• Implement keyframe animation techniques and tangent types to control the character of motion in animations.
• Develop and animate hierarchical groups and camera paths to streamline complex animation workflows.
