    This document provides instructions for using animation sets in Wasp3D Version 2011. Animation sets allow applying a single animation track to multiple objects or groups and adjusting their coordinates even if located in different spaces. The guide describes how to create animation sets, assign them to control buttons to manually play animations on object groups, and provides a step-by-step example of using animation sets to highlight different teams when their respective buttons are clicked.

    Guide for Animation Set


    Technical Article | Writer: Sachin Nair | Published: May 2013

    ANIMATION SET - is a tool which allows us to apply the stored animation track of one object to
    multiple objects or multiple groups. It also enables us to change the co-ordinates of the objects or
    groups even when they are lying in a different 2D or 3D space co-ordinates. The best use of
    animation sets could be interactive graphics , trigger templates , etc..

    BENEFITS OF ANIMATION SET

    It allows you to re-align objects

    It allows us to apply multiple objects animation to one object.

    ANIMATION SET WINDOW


    In the Track View (F7) you will find the Animation Set tab .

    To create an animation set you have to right click on Default then click on Create AnimTrack
    to open up a window where you will assign the animation set name , type and absolute or relative.

    Track Name Assign the Animation Set Name

    Type - A 'float' variable may contain decimal values other than integer, and may also be
    expressed as scientific notation.

    Absolute

    Relative value means

    Play AnimSet: Sets an action to play animation sets.


    Stop AnimSet: Sets an action to stop animation sets.

    Please follow the following example on how to use Animation Set


    A : Creating Animation Set to control actions manually.
    STEP 1
    The below image is an example of Team Comparison of two teams for sports interactive graphics. In this
    example we are going to use animation sets to achieve the same .

    STEP 2
    Create your basic animation for the respective group. Now as you can see we have two buttons on
    the right handside corner. Button A will bring the TEAM A group forward in a way of highlighting
    it and Button B will do the same for TEAM B group. Now we will create the respective animation
    set for the two groups.
    First We will create animation key on any one of the group as per the action is required in our
    case the action required is bringing the group forward in way of highlighting it. Once this part is
    done then we will go to the SRTV panel of the particular group on which the animation is created.
    Then we will right click on that particular track which can be translation, rotation, scale and
    visibility, here in our case its translation so we will right click on it and then a pop up window will
    open from which we will click on the animation set tab. The below image gives us a clear
    explanation of the following .

    Second A window will pop up where we will assign the animation set name in the Track Name
    column. Check on absolute box if you want the animation keys to pick the same co-ordinates as you
    have assigned . In our case we have given the AnimationSet name as Team A_TransFWD and check
    on absolute box. The below image helps to understand the same.

    STEP 3
    Like this we will create another animation set to make the group object go back to its original
    position from the same animation track keys and name it as TeamA_TransBACK. Repeat the same
    steps for the Team B group . In the end we will have four animation set track names which are Team A_TransFWD, TeamA_TransBACK, TeamB_TransFWD and TeamB_TransBACK. For the
    TeamA_TransBACK just interchange the animation keys so that it goes back to its original position.
    Repeat the same step for TeamB_TransBACK. The below image explains clearly.

    STEP 4
    Now we will assign the animation set actions to the buttons. We will go to the hierachy window and
    select the Button A object (i.e the sphere), right click on it go to events and click on On Mouse
    Change tab. The below image shows the same.

    STEP 5
    On clicking on the On Mouse Change tab another window will open where you need to apply the

    animation set control. Click on Tap(gesture) tab on top then on the left-hand side go to the Actions
    underneath it select the Anim Set then click on Stop AnimSet. In the middle window select the
    animation set name you want to stop , check off retain transform and select from Transform the
    translation and finally associate the target on which the action is supposed to happen and click on
    add. In our case we have to select the Team A_TransFWD from the animation sets and select the
    target TeamA_GRP. Repeat the same steps to stop for all the animation set names. The below
    image will help you understand it more clearly.

    STEP 6
    In the same way stop all the AnimSets and then assign Play AnimSet to the group you need to play.
    In our case we will apply it on the TeamA_GRP.

    B : Final Output
    STEP 1
    Final output of the scene can be visible once its played from the sting client on to the server . The
    action which will happen on the two buttons is shown in the below image. When I click on A button
    the Team A group will come forward and same action in the case of B button.
