Introduction
• Path animation is a type of AnimationTimeline that
uses PathGeometry as its input. Instead of setting
properties in From, To, or By (as you would for a
From/To/By animation) or using keyframes (as you
would for a keyframe animation), you define a
geometric path and use it to set the PathGeometry
property of the path animation . . .
• As the trajectory animation progresses, it reads the x,
y, and angle information from the trajectory and uses
that information to generate its output.

What Is a Path Animation?
The process of animating one or more objects moving along a
defined three-dimensional path through the scene is known as
path animation. The path is called a motion path, and is quite
different from a motion trail, which is used to edit animations.
Path animations can be created in two ways:
• Create a path with a curve tool or identify an existing path,
and attach the object to the path.
• Move the object through a series of locations in the scene,
creating a path through these locations.

Creating animation paths
One of these is an Animation Paths. Another issue that arises with
Animation Paths is the orientation of the object to the path. The curve
defines a path that the object follows through the scene. An Animation
Paths is simply a line or a curve. The key defines how far into the path the
object is positioned. When animating an object along a path, you need to
define where the object is along the path. Changing the shape of the path
changes the motion of the object. The path can be drawn freehand, or it
can be extracted from another object such as a roadway. Do we want the
object to align itself with the path.In In addition to keys and curves, we can
animate objects using other methods.

Conclusion
In conclusion, computer animation has made a huge
impact on entertainment, movie industries, and kids.
Computer animation made entertainment more
interesting and enjoyable. Huge companies, such as Walt
Disney and Pixar, were greatly influenced by the invention
of computer animation. Also, the effects of children from
the technology can be both bad and good. Additionally,
computer animation is not a replacement for traditional
animation, just another tool. Finally, although the
technology today is advanced, there’s a greater future in
store for computer animation.
