How to: Animate an Embossed Visual Effect
This topic explains how to animate properties of an embossed visual effect.
Example
The following example animates the LightAngle property of an EmbossBitmapEffect such that the shadowing effects resulting from the "light" positioning will shift over the embossed edge of the image.
<Page xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >
<StackPanel>
<Image Source="/images/WaterLilies.jpg" Width="600" Margin="10" >
<Image.BitmapEffect>
<EmbossBitmapEffect x:Name="myEmbossBitmapEffect" Relief="0.8" LightAngle="0" />
</Image.BitmapEffect>
<Image.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Image.Loaded">
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<!-- Animate the LightAngle so that the artificial light
orbits around the embossed image which makes the
shadows cast by the emboss shift accordingly. -->
<DoubleAnimation
Storyboard.TargetName="myEmbossBitmapEffect"
Storyboard.TargetProperty="LightAngle"
From="0" To="360" Duration="0:0:3" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Image.Triggers>
</Image>
</StackPanel>
</Page>
