5. Select KeyframeNo1.
6. Set # of Frames (located below the list of keyframes) to 20.
This is the number of intermediate frames used when going from KeyframeNo1 to
KeyframeNo2. This number is displayed in the Frames column for KeyframeNo1.
7. Press Enter.
The Frame # column shows the frame in which each keyframe appears. KeyframeNo1
appears at frame 1 since it defines the start of the animation. KeyframeNo2 is at frame
22 since you have 20 intermediate frames (frames 2 to 21) in between KeyframeNo1 and
KeyframeNo2.

Viewing the Animation


More keyframes could be added, but this animation has only two keyframes (which is the
minimum possible).

Synopsis The controls previously greyed-out in the Animation dialog box are now available. The
number of intermediate frames between keyframes is listed beside the keyframe having the
lowest number of the pair. The number of keyframes listed beside the last keyframe is
ignored.

Procedure 1. Click Play the animation .


The animation plays from frame 1 to frame 22. It plays relatively slowly because the slice
plane must be updated for each frame.
