How to: Animate a 3-D Rotation Using Key Frames (QuaternionAnimationUsingKeyFrames)

In the following example, QuaternionAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to make a 3D object rotate. This animation uses the following key frames:

  1. LinearRotation3DKeyFrame is used to create a smooth, linear interpolation between values.

  2. DiscreteRotation3DKeyFrame is used to create sudden "jumps" between values (no interpolation).

  3. SplineRotation3DKeyFrame is used to create a variable transition between values depending on the KeySpline property. In the example below, this part of the animation starts off slow but toward the end of the time segment, speeds up exponentially.
