This document provides hints and examples for ArcScene users to develop advanced animations, making use of functionality that is accessible from the graphical user interface but is not described extensively in the basic documentation.

The animation functionality of ArcScene allows users to create complex dynamic effects in the 3D scenes, going much farther than a simple flyby or layer group sequence. To achieve these elaborate effects, multiple tracks can be combined with different active properties and timing parameters to control one or more objects. A special case of this combination technique is the composition of layer transformations.
