Bonus: Animate a rigged character
Animate the model
Use the program below to animate the rigged lamp model.
How to animate
- Each deformer has a control at the bottom of the screen.
- The blue line shows the value of a deformer in each frame.
- Move the orange and pink control points to change the value of deformers.
- Click on the blue line to add new control points.
- Drag the orange point on top of the deformer control to change the current frame.
For more information see our animation tutorial.
How to save your animation
- Press the save button; this will bring up a black box containing the code for your animation.
- Copy all the text in the box and paste it here to create a new program.
- Save that program.
- If you see an X and several A's at the end of the code, delete them.

- If this is only 2D animation then how hard is it in 3D?(14 votes)
- I wouldn't say it is harder, but it is considerably more complex. In 3D animation there are more controls, as there different aspects of the object to take into consideration. But I'm sure you can do it. :)(9 votes)
