Whilst Studio was not created to be an animation application (and therefore does not include all the tools you would typically find on an animation platform), it is useful to have a few easy tools at hand for producing some quick, simple animations - such as turntable or time lapses -without having to leave Studio to do it.

- Animate camera: you can define a travelling rotation of the camera around the target set in the previous step. You can set the rotation arc (in degrees), the animation direction (clockwise or counterclockise) and its speed (constant or easy in/out). Motion blur can be calculated from the rotation of the camera. This is great to display an object from all angles.
- Animate object: you can define an object to be rotated around its own axis. You can set the object, the rotation arc (in degrees), the rotation axis (X, Y, or Z), the animation direction (clockwise or counterclockise) and its speed (constant or easy in/out). Motion blur can be calculated from the rotation of the camera. This option is perfect for producing turntable animations for showing objects.
- Animate environment: you can animate the active environment –sky or IBL– describing a rotation around the scene. You can set the rotation arc (in degrees), the animation direction (clockwise or counterclockise) and its speed (constant or easy in/out).
- Animate sun: this option allows you to easily produce a time lapse animation on your scene, with a begin and end time. You can also define the animation direction (forwards or backwards) and its speed (constant or easy in/out).
