Model Animations

• To animate a current model, either click on the animate icon in the toolbar, or go to Tools -> Animate Model.
• Select your animation preferences. Rotation angles specify the axis of rotation: x-axis is horizontal, y-axis is vertical, and z-axis is into the screen (note, these axis change dependent upon previous transformations).
• Select the speed of animation using the speed in angles per rotation. The higher the number, the faster the animation occurs.
• To save the animation as a movie, utilize the checkbox provided. MPEG movies will be saved to the file you specify, and will run the duration of the animation.
• To terminate the animation, click on the stop animation icon in the toolbar, of go to Tools->Animate Model.
