Animating scene objects
Visible
The V ISIBLE animated property controls whether or not the object is visible in the scene.
Setting the Visible property’s T RANSITION parameters (figure 7-21 ) allows you to control how
an object transitions into or out of an animation, or from one object asset to another. For
example, you can create an animation where the object appears instantaneously using the
C
UT transition and then have the same object disappear gradually from the animation using
the F ADE transition. Or, you create an object animation where one object asset replaces
another asset object using a stylish transition like revealing one as the other fades away.
Figure 7-21. The Transition parameters determine how the object will enter or leave the animation
