Though RealFlow works with dynamically created motion and position data, animation is an essential part, because it is often necessary to animate parameters, build ramps, control velocities or create regular movements, etc. Traditional key-based animations and expressions are important features and frequently needed. Of course, it is often better to do complex animations within your 3D software, since you normally have much more sophisticated tools, but there are things that cannot be done externally, like animating an object’s physical or rigid body dynamics parameters, or it is sometimes simply faster to create various motions directly within RealFlow.

Additionally, the "Curve Editor" is a powerful function generator for expressions.With expressions it is possible to define custom functions, which will be used for a node’s animated property. The big advantage with expressions is that you do not have to set a single key, because everything is based on mathematical formulas. The "Curve Editor" even gives you the possibility to blend keyed curves with expressions.
