The range slider lets the user to select a part of the time line and zoom in on it. If the animation has 2000 frames it becomes impossible to accurately define where a key is placed and where other keys are. The range slider works as a zooming tool of the time line. The animated snapshot and animated sweep.Īt the bottom of the interface we can find the time line and the play buttons for the animation.īeneath the time slider where the keys will be visible as red lines we find the range slider. In the following explanation we will look at the option of using two main methods of applying animation techniques for geometry generation. The animation tools available in Maya provide the designer not only the means to explore new design concepts but also give the designer a powerful tool for generate complex surfaces. A new architectural language was developed where complex relations where translated into geometry in the context of time. By adding the 4th dimension to the design process new concepts of design could be developed and implemented. However the possibility to apply the functionality of animation in the design process was recognized early on by several architects. Maya is originally a high end animation software which is used for generation of advanced computer animations for games, film and television.
