Chapter 33: Animating with MotionManager ............................................................................
FIGURE 33.1Accessing the MotionManager interface
What can you animate?
You can animate the following:l (^) Distance mates
l Angle mates
l (^) Part appearance (including display modes — shaded, wireframe, and so on)
l Part transparency
l (^) Part visibility
l Part position
l (^) View/zoom state
l Camera position and properties
When you animate colors and appearances, simple colors can fade from one color to another, but
any appearance with a texture does not fade; it simply snaps to the next texture at the appropriate
time. That is to say that you can fade red to blue, but you cannot fade marble to fabric.
You cannot animate the following:
l (^) Changing part dimensions
l Changing PhotoWorks materials
l (^) Configurations
