JOHN CARSTARPHEN: Hi. This is John Carstarphen for Expert Village. We're back at our scene camera. I moved some of the asteroids closer to the camera, and we're going to begin animating now. So we'll start with the ship, we'll set a key frame for the ship, and make sure that before you set key frames in cinema 4D, select the object that you want to animate and object manager and we have the ship selected so select the key frame at zero frames and move the slider to about 78 frames which is almost 3 seconds, about 2-1/2 seconds, then we'll move the ship towards us, and pass the camera and set a key frame and you can see that once we set the second key frame, a path appears, a yellow path which indicates the direction of the animation. Things are timed up pretty well and there you have it, a nice space ship animation.
