Disappear#

The Disappear animation makes nodes progressively disappear. It can only be applied to nodes with the transparency attribute, e.g. structural models, visual models, meshes, and labels. For nodes which do not have an transparency attribute, this animation is similar to the Hide animation. Note that individual atoms and bonds do not have an opacity attribute, but only their structural models do. If you would like to change the transparency of atoms and bonds, please apply this animation to the structural models themselves.

Adding the animation#

First, choose nodes that you want to progressively disappear.

Then, double-click on the Disappear animation effect in the Animation panel of the Animator.

This animation has 4 keyframes:

  • between keyframes 1 and 2 the specified nodes will be fully opaque
  • between keyframes 2 and 3 the specified nodes will progressively disappear increasing their transparency
  • between keyframes 3 and 4 the specified nodes will be fully transparent

Move the keyframes of the animation as needed.

Note

You can always move the keyframes of the animation.

Note

In the movie we use the Animation menu which is no longer present in SAMSON. You can access all animations via the Animation panel in the Animator (1) and all presentation actions via the Animator's controls.

Properties#

You can change how the parameters are interpolated between the frames by modifying the Easing curve.
