Working With Expressions

Set xAngle to –7.5.

Set yAngle to –25.

Set zAngle to –195.

Leave center (x, y) at 80.

The result looks similar to this:

To animate the X element:

1

In the Move3D parameters, click the zAngle Autokey button to set a keyframe.

2

Go to frame 5.

3

Set the zAngle parameter to –122.

4

Use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to step through the animation.

The animation matches between frames 1 and 5, but stops at frame 5. Use the Curve
Editor to correct the problem.

Note: When Autokey is enabled, the Load Curve button is activated, so the zAngle
curve is already loaded into the Curve Editor.

5

Click the Curve Editor tab.

6

To select the curve, drag across the curve or select the curve in the curve list.

7

In the Curve Editor, change the curve Cycle mode from KeepValue (default) to
KeepSlope.
