Combining multiple time sequences

Table of Contents

15.8.1

You can combine multiple time sequences. Imagine you have a production line where you need to perform 10 different operations, and each operation must start one after another. This can be easily achieved by combining multiple time sequences. You can simply nest one animation after another. To do so, change the Start after option to your previous animation.

Example: #

Let’s say you need to animate three consequent operations:

1. Object moving on the belt to the desired position

2. Object being pressed

3. Object leaving

Each operation is triggered by the tag.

1. First of all, we will start by creating our view.

2. We will create the start sequence by creating the first time sequence.

15.8.2

You can see that we have moved the time slider to the end. We have also moved the object under the press.

We have set the trigger to Tag condition:

15.8.3

In the timing settings, we have checked Preserve State on finish.

15.8.4

3. Now we will create the second time sequence. This one will start after the first one, so we will set the Start after:

15.8.5

And our time sequence:

15.8.6

We have set the the trigger to Tag condition:

15.8.7

In the timing settings, we have checked Preserve State on finish.

15.8.8

4. And now we will create the final time sequence. This one will start after our previous one, so we will once again set the Start After:

18.8.9

And our time sequence:

15.8.10

We have set the trigger to Tag condition:

15.8.11

In the timing settings, we have disabled Preserve State on finish. This will allow our view to return to its starting condition.
