Abstract
An animation preset graphical user interface (GUI) enables users to select a 3D model of an object and to further select between multiple animation presets that each individually cause a 3D animation engine to apply combinations of animation features against the 3D model. An exemplary animation preset may cause the object to translate across a display area (e.g., move from left to right across screen) while simultaneously rotating against a rotational axis (e.g., spinning so that different surfaces of the object become more prominent). The animation preset GUI may enable the user to dynamically toggle through different intensity levels to cause a selected animation preset to be rendered in accordance with different acceleration parameters and/or magnitude parameters. The animation preset GUI may enable the user to dynamically toggle between predefined animation spaces for animating the object. Animation-parameters may be persisted to a file to enable future editing of the animations.
