Animations Tab

Animation List#

Controls:

• Add animation: creates a new motion record on the selected object
• Play or Pause preview: pauses editor playback without changing the saved animation
• Delete button: removes the selected animation

Animation Settings#

Controls:

• Motion type: chooses Bobbing, Spin, Sway, Pulse, or Explode
• Axis: chooses the movement or rotation axis for animations that use one
• Direction: chooses clockwise or counter-clockwise for Spin and Sway
• Amount: controls the movement, rotation, or scale amplitude
• Speed: controls the animation speed
• Phase: offsets the animation timing
• Loop: repeats the motion instead of playing it once
• Enabled: turns the animation on or off without deleting it

Trigger#

Trigger controls when the animation runs.

Controls:

• Always: runs continuously while the room is open
• Hover: runs while a shopper hovers over the object
• On select: runs while a linked annotation card is open; pair the animation to a card with Trigger animation on the Hotspots tab
• Model event: runs when shoppers click a specific model part; not available on scene geometry

Model Events#

Shown when Trigger is Model event. Each event maps a clicked model part to an animation action.

Controls:

• Add event: appends a new event entry
• Clicked part: chooses which mesh or node fires the event; the crosshair button enters scene-pick mode, then the next part you click in the viewer fills this field
• Action: chooses Toggle on/off, Turn on, Turn off, or Set speed
• Speed: the absolute speed applied when Action is Set speed
• Remove event: deletes the event entry

Good to know:

• Direction is stored through signed Speed: positive is clockwise, negative is counter-clockwise
• Multiple enabled animations on one object are combined
• Explode is only available for placed products and uploaded models, not scene geometry
• Hover, On select, and Model event triggers ease Explode animations into their triggered state; ending the trigger resets targeted child meshes to their saved transforms
• The animation editor flashes the selected object, component target, or event clicked part with a mesh highlight so you can see what each target selector controls
• Saved product animations and hotspot data appear in shop v2
