Adding animation
You can add animation to your Zam 3D models in the following ways:
n Use drag-and-drop animations and apply them to a model.
n Create keyframes in the Timeline and animate properties such as rotation, position,
and scale for the camera, lights, or model.
n Apply drag-and-drop lighting effects, such as Hollywood lights, neon lights, lights that
pan across an object, and more
Using drag-and-drop animations from the Gallery toolbar
Zam 3D provides many ready-made animations that you can apply to your models. You can even
apply two animations at a time??”one from each category??”so your object can spin as it flies or
pump as it spins. You can actually apply more than two at a time if your object is grouped: You can
apply up to two drag-and-drop animations to each level of grouping of your object. The Toggle
Animation Drop Target button indicates whether you want the animation to apply to grouped
objects individually or collectively.
