1.
Choose Animation | Edit.
The Animation dialog appears.
2.
Click the Playback tab.
3.
Enter a start time in the Playback Start Time box
and an end time in the Playback End Time box.
If you type -1 in the Playback End Time box, Light-
scape sets the end time to the length of the animation.
4.
Click the Play button
to play through your
animation sequence.
Note:
The playback runs in real time. If the
computer cannot draw frames fast enough, some
will be skipped. This can cause the playback to
appear disjointed or jumpy.
5.
To show more frames per second during play-
back, preview the animation in Wireframe mode. You
can also adjust the display speed. Keep in mind the
human eye requires a minimum of 12 frames per sec-
ond to be ‘convinced’ of motion. If your model con-
tains layers and objects that are not displayed in the
animation, turn them off.
6.
Enable Repeat Preview to play the animation in a
continuous loop.
