Remarks

You may also apply key-frame animation to properties such as Rotate. For example, the following excerpt from the provided custom XML file demonstrates how to linearly interpolate the value of the Rotate property. In this case, the Rotate element takes on several Point child elements.

...
  <Rotate type="float3" evaluation="Linear" >
    <Point time="0.000000" value="-0.174533, 0.000000, 0.000000" />
    <Point time="0.900000" value="0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000" />
    <Point time="1.000000" value="0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000" />
  </Rotate>
