You can animate node attributes by clicking the Animation Toggle (key icon) for the attribute you wish to animate. When animation is enabled, the icon appears green. When disabled, it appears clear. Clicking the Animation Toggle opens a pull-down menu with the following options:

• Animated: Selecting the Animation option toggles animation for the current attribute on or off. A check mark appears next to this menu item when animation is enabled, and vice-versa.
• Info: Each animated attribute has one or more Info options depending on the attribute. For example, a numerical node will have one Info option for its numeric value, while a color node will have three Info options (one each for red, green, and blue). Selecting one of these options allows you to set the current value, maximum and minimum limits, name, and sensitivity. This dialog is exactly the same as the Edit Parameter Dial dialog, which is discussed in your Poser Reference Manual.
• Graph: For each Info option that appears above, you will see a Graph option. Selecting a Graph option opens the Graph palette for the selected channel. Please refer to your Poser Reference Manual for more information about the Graph palette.

Once animation is enabled, you can animate the attribute’s value using any combination of the following methods:

• Keyframes: Move to a frame and set a value, then move to a different frame and set a new value.
• Graph Palette: Use the Graph palette to animate the node.
• Other nodes: Connect other nodes to control how the attribute changes over time. Note that adding animated nodes to an attribute will animate that attribute whether or not you have animation enabled or if that attribute has an Animation Toggle.

Please refer to your Poser Reference Manual more information about animating within Poser.
