	==Create a 3D Animation==		==Create a 3D Animation==
			A 3D animation is based on a set of keyframes (camera positions at certain times). To create an animation:
⚫	To ~~create~~ an ~~animation~~, refer to ~~instructions published on the QGIS website:~~ [https://docs.qgis.org/3.34/en/docs/user_manual/map_views/3d_map_view.html#creating-an-animation Creating an animation].
			<ol>
			<li>In the 3D Map View, toggle on the 'Animations' tool [[File: QGIS_3D_Animation_animation_button_01.png\|20px]]. This opens the following widget:<br>
			<br>
			[[File: QGIS_3D_Animation_player_widget_01.png]]<br>
			<br>
			<li>Click 'Add Keyframe' [[File: QGIS_3D_Animation_add_keyframe_button_01.png]] and enter a time in seconds. This will add the time to the Keyframe dropdown box:<br>
			<br>
			[[File: QGIS_3D_Animation_keyframe_dropdown_box_01.png]]<br>
			<br>
			<li>Use the navigation tools to move the 3D map to the desired position for the current keyframe time.
			<li>Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add as many keyframes as required. QGIS will generate scenes using the 3D map's positions/rotations at set times, and it will interpolate them in between the keyframes.
			<li>To preview the animation, click 'Play', or use the timeslider.
			</ol>

		⚫	For more information on 3D animations, please refer to <u>[https://docs.qgis.org/3.34/en/docs/user_manual/map_views/3d_map_view.html#creating-an-animation QGIS Documentation - Creating an animation]</u>.
