Installation
This Animation Assistant is a plug-in module for use with Specular Infini-D™ 2.6 and later. It should be placed in the “Animation Assistants” folder, which is found in the same folder as the Infini-D application.
If Infini-D is running, you must quit and re-launch it for the Animation Assistant to be recognized.
If you do not have an “Animation Assistants” folder, you should re-install from the original disks in order to have access to the Assistants that originally shipped with Infini-D. Alternatively, you may simply create a folder at the same level as Infini-D named “Animation Assistants.”
Instructions
The “Spin” Animation Assistant spins the selected object around a specified axis, for a specified number of rotation, over a specified period of time. The spin will begin with the last selected eventmark.
To use this Assistant, select the Eventmarks for the object(s) that you want to spin, and then choose “Spin” from the hierarchical Animation Assistant menu. You will be presented with a dialog asking you to specify the attributes of the spin, including the direction of spin (clockwise or counter-clockwise); the number of rotations; and the length of time to spin.
Unselected Eventmarks that exist within the range of selected Eventmarks will remain intact, producing undesirable effects. This Assistant does not create new Eventmarks; it only rearranges existing ones.
