If you paid very close attention, you might notice that the donut moves more slowly than we would expect for 30 FPS (in my case, the whole movement should be completed in under 2 seconds, but appears to take longer when previewing in Blender). You can find the original post on along with others in this series): Playing the animation back should now show something like this (if you are reading this in PDF format, the below image is a. Tip: You can return to the start of the playback timeline with “Shift + Left Arrow”, then hit “Spacebar” to start the animation You should move the donut and then set another keyframe (again by hitting “I”), perhaps 30 or 40 frames after your initial keyframe:

At 30 FPS, this will result in an 8.3-second animation.Īlong the timeline, we can insert “Keyframes”, which - among other things - mark the location an object should be at when a given frame is reached: The start and end frames on the timeline window at the bottom show the total number of frames in the animation (you can adjust this as needed).

Setting the icing’s “parent” to be the body of the donut means that the icing will rotate and move with the donut, whenever the donut is rotated or moved. To make it easier to rotate the donut around, we want to “parent” the icing to the donut, meaning that objects will track (follow) each other when rotated or moved. Tip: You can set the camera to your current viewing angle by clicking “View -> Align View -> Align Camera To View” (from the “View” menu) We will need to adjust the camera settings and the rotation of the donut, to get things set up the way we want.
