A key frame animation's target values are defined by its KeyFrames property, which contains a collection of Point3DKeyFrame objects. Each Point3DKeyFrame defines a segment of the animation with its own target Value and KeyTime. When the animation runs, it progresses from one key value to the next at the specified key times.
There are three types of Point3DKeyFrame classes, one for each supported interpolation method: LinearPoint3DKeyFrame, DiscretePoint3DKeyFrame, and SplinePoint3DKeyFrame.
Unlike a Point3DAnimation, a Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames can have more than two of target values. You can also control the interpolation method of individual Point3DKeyFrame segments.
In the following example, Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to animate the position of a PerspectiveCamera in a 3D scene. In addition, Vector3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to animate the direction the camera is pointing in the 3D scene. Both of these animations use several key frames which create a series of animation effects:
LinearPoint3DKeyFrame and LinearVector3DKeyFrame are used to create a smooth, linear interpolation between values.
DiscretePoint3DKeyFrame and DiscreteVector3DKeyFrame are used to create sudden "jumps" between values (no interpolation).
SplinePoint3DKeyFrame and SplineVector3DKeyFrame are used to create a variable transition between values depending on the KeySpline property. In the example below, the animation starts off slow but toward the end of the time segment, speeds up exponentially.
