So now we know where the keyframes should be. Let’s plan it out then:ģ seconds (frames 0 – 72): just the waves animationġ.5 seconds (frames 73 – 108): first jump (from right to left, in near distance)ġ second (frames 109 – 132): just the waves animationġ.5 seconds (frames 133 – 168): second jump (from left to right, in a further distance)ġ second (frames 169 – 192): just the waves animationġ second (frames 193 – 216): third jump (from right to left, in the maximum distance)ġ second (frames 217 – 240): just the waves animation So, first it will jump from right to left, then from left to right and one more time from right to left. Let’s make it jump over the water three times, each time in a greater distance. As you can see, it’s now hidden behind the waves on the right side of the screen. Now let’s think about how we want the mermaid to be animated. You can create a new 2D Animation file by choosing the appropriate option there.īut if you already closed the splash screen, you can still create a new file from the File menu by selecting 2D Animation under New:
