Create and play animations in a globe

Purpose

This sample describes how to create, play, load, and save animations in a globe in ArcGlobe or GlobeControl. The functionality in this sample is available in the following tools:

• Create and save animations—Allows you to create simple camera animations by capturing different perspective views to a camera animation track. This tool also allows you to save and load an animation to an ArcGlobe animation file (*.aga).
• Animation Controls—Allows you to play animations based on the animation duration. The animation can also be played based on the play interval or on the looping options (play forward, play reverse, loop forward, and loop forward and reverse).

How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on running the sample.

1. Run the sample.
2. Navigate the globe using the Navigation tool, and click the Capture View button at different locations as you navigate.
