Using the Activation Track In the Timeline

Space Ship Timeline Pt.2

Another aspect of the Timeline that can be very useful is the activations track. I will use the jet floating animation as a subject to use this feature on.

For this example, I will create an activation track using the ground that the jet sits on just by dragging the ground(Plane) into the timeline and clicking the activation track.

So, if you drag the active track away from the head of the timeline, you can see that the ground disappears, and the jet seems to be floating.

So, when playing the animation, I can make the ground deactivate once the jet is in the air and re-activate once the jet has come back down to the ground.
