The default time delay between each frame is 5 seconds; this default delay is
too long to see a smooth transition between frames, so reduce the time
delay between frames as follows:
1. Select all frames and click the Time Delay arrow at the bottom of any of
the frames.
2. Select 0.1 seconds as the time delay between frames. You can select any
of the listed delay times or a custom delay time.
The previous exercises can be considered as a starting point for creating
animation and 3D animation in Photoshop. The 3D animation tool in
Photoshop is pretty simple—it gives you extended capabilities along with
traditional core functions in Photoshop, making it easy to create
professional-looking animations.
Summary
Although this topic covers the 3D process in Photoshop elsewhere, this
chapter is the most important chapter, because it covers how to use the
information in this topic to create 3D animation in Photoshop. Now that you
understand the animation concepts, you can use the information from the
other chapters to import 3D objects and apply textures, light, and camera
views to build your animation scene using the concepts in this chapter. You
will learn how to render and export the animation in the rest of the topic;
I cover the rendering and exporting features in chapter 13.
You can also integrate the animation created in this chapter with other
applications, such as Adobe Flash and After Efects. I consider this chapter to
be the real center point for the topic, as the rest of the chapters are actually
about extending the 3D animation process in Photoshop.
