Create animations that you think will be needed and useful to other creators.
Ease Of Use

Object Animations
Curves are a new powerful way to animate 3D objects in the game. Curves allow for very complex animations, in a relatively simple manner.
Animating objects in the game world can make a game feel alive. Examples include such things as small idle movements of machines, flags or signs moving in the wind, trees swaying, balloons floating, boats bobbing in the water, or moving objects along a path.
- Idle Animations
- Motorized Movement
- Wind Movement
