Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
In Blender, the timeline is used to control the animation, and the space bar can be used to play and pause the animation.
- 2
To animate an object, you need to add keyframes at different points on the timeline, which can be done by selecting the object, pressing the K key, and choosing the type of transform you want to keyframe.
- 3
Auto keying can be turned on to automatically add keyframes whenever you move, rotate, or scale an object, but it's important to remember to turn it off when you're done to avoid accidentally adding unwanted keyframes.
