Add Animation to Tasks
The animation that you can add to individual tasks in TimeLiner is restricted
to scenes and animation sets from the scenes.
By default, any added animation is scaled to fit the task duration. You also
got an option of playing an animation at its normal (recorded) speed, by
matching its start or end point with the task.
NOTE Animation keyframes may contain transparency and color overrides. During
the TimeLiner simulation, the transparency and color override data from
Animator are ignored.
Once you’ve added animation to your tasks, you can
simulate (page 656) your
schedule.
To add an animation scene or an animation set
1 If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab ➤ Tools
panel ➤ TimeLiner
.
2 On the Tasks tab, click the task you want to add an animation to, and
use the horizontal scroll bar to locate the Animation column.
If you prefer, you can move the animation columns in front of the Start
Date column as shown below.
3 Click the drop-down arrow in the Animation field, and select a scene
or an animation set from a scene. When you select a scene, all animation
sets recorded for this scene will be used.
