Trial Animation

          I tried a simple animation in the practical for my final animation. There is a scene in my final animation where the spaceship 1 will go under the spacetank. When I saw the animation with graph, I was able to get an idea on how will I do it. I added a box that represents spaceship 1 while the cylinder represents spacetank as shown in Figure 1. At first I just moved the box up and down but when I played it, the animation didn't work. Why? It is because I wasn't able to set the keys when I moved the box.

Figure 1. Box and cylinder

          For unknown reason, when I opened the file again, the set keys cannot be seen already but the animation is still working. In order for me to show that the animation is working, I recorded the animation by Microsoft Expression Blend Encoder and uploaded it on Youtube.



          The video above shows how I want the spaceship 1 behaves on a particular scene. You can also notice on the lower-left hand side of the video, the set keys are gone. I will search something that will help me find out how to show those keys again.
