Work with Animation Scenes
Scenes act as containers for your object animations.
Each scene can contain the following components:
■ One or more animation sets
■ A single camera animation
■ A single section plane set animation
The scenes and the scene components can be grouped into folders. This has
no effect on playback, except that the contents of a folder can be easily
switched on or off to save time.
There are two types of folders:
■ Scene folders - to hold scenes and other scene folders.
■ Folders - to hold scene components and other folders.
