Today student learned Keyframing Animation. As a class we learned about the timeslider, frames, rangeslider, keyframes and the graph editor. We did a couple class activities: First-we learned how to move an object around the scene by setting keyframes; Second-we learned how to use a combination of movement and scaling to capture the realistic movement of a bouncing ball.
For their first animation lesson, they need to load the pre-made Keyframing lesson from the lesson files and follow the Animation Lesson 1 directions.
Save when finished!
