Animating scene objects
Flip or Valve When the V ISIBLE animated property is enabled, the F LIP and V ALVE transition
styles start with the object in a geometic position that renders the object completely
invisible. The transition then uses the object’s center as a pivot point and rotates
the object by 90 degrees along either its vertical or horizontal axes, making it
completely visible.
When the V ISIBLE animated property is disabled, the F LIP and V ALVE transition
styles start with the object in a geometic position that makes it completely visible.
The transition then uses the object’s center as a pivot point and rotates the object
by 90 degrees along either its vertical or horizontal axes, so that it becomes
invisible.
Parameters:
•
D IRECTION : Sets the direction of how the object will rotate around its vertical or
horizontal axes.
Select from: L
EFT , R IGHT , U P , or D OWN . As the following describes there are
slight behavior differences between the Flip and Valve styles’ D IRECTION
settings.
• F LIP : Whether the V ISIBLE is set to O N or O FF , the direction setting
represents the true rotation direction that the object is moving toward.
• V ALVE : When V ISIBLE is set to O N , the direction setting represents
starting pivotal position, rather than the direction that it moves toward.
For example, L
EFT means that the object starts rotating from left to right.
When V ISIBLE is O FF , the direction setting represents the destination
direction of the rotation. For example, L EFT means the object rotates
from right to left.
• D URATION : The length of time that it will take to complete the transition after it
is initiated at the keyframe. Enter the number or frames, or the amount of time
(00:00:00). The visibility keyframe adjusts its length on the timeline to
represent the duration of the transition.
