WCTC 3.2.3: Animation and User Direction: Example Animation Workflow
This video demonstrates an overview of using the timeline editor for instructional workflows in WorkLink Create. It also explains setting up animations and adjusting the timeline. You will learn the following:
-
Building Instructional Steps:
- Illustration of adding an introductory animation (e.g., set object color) to highlight a step.
- Introduction to the repeat line to loop animations and adjusting animation speed.
-
User Direction Techniques:
- Discussion on guiding the user's attention and applying theoretical concepts to practical scenarios.
- Illustration of using arrows, highlight spheres, and color changes for effective user direction.
-
Complex Animations - Disassembly Example:
- Demonstration of recording a disassembly sequence for a complex object.
- Explanation of duplicating, reversing, and modifying steps for assembly and disassembly animations.
-
Continuation and Duplication:
- Explanation of the "Continue Step" button to seamlessly transition from one step to the next.
- Demonstration of duplicating steps, reversing sequences, and reusing animations.
-
User Direction Best Practices:
- Application of user direction principles to animations.
- Incorporation of callouts, arrows, and other visual elements to guide attention effectively.
-
Asset Library Usage:
- Introduction to the asset library, including company assets and pre-existing assets.
- Demonstration of searching for and using predefined assets like arrows in the workflow.
-
Custom Arrow Animation:
- Customization of arrow placement and introduction of a slow-motion translate animation.
- Introduction to easing options and the use of ping pong animation for a dynamic effect.
-
Fade In and Out Animation:
- Introduction to the fade-in and fade-out animation types.
- Creation of a comprehensive animation combining arrow movement, fade-in, and fade-out effects.
