Timeline

The Animation Timeline is for playing any animation set up in your project. Two types of animation can be set up:

  1. Camera Animation: The viewport camera can be animated by setting keyframes on the Timeline.
  2. Splat Animation: You can load a sequence of PLY files where each PLY file is a single frame in an animation.

Camera Animation​

Simply pick a frame in the Timeline, position the camera and click the + button on the Timeline to set a keyframe. Note that the last keyframe on the Timeline will automatically loop back to the first keyframe.

Splat Animation​

In order to view a set of PLY files as an animation:

  • Ensure the files have a common name with frame number appended, like anim_0003.ply, anim_0004.ply, anim_0005.ply....
  • Load the files into SuperSplat by either dragging and dropping the files or a folder containing the files, onto SuperSplat

The timeline panel will be displayed:
