Tween

Use the Tween component to apply animations to objects in the scene. Add movement to your effects, such as move, scale, rotate, change the color of an object and more. Below is a description of each tween type and the Inspector panel settings used for tuning it.

Basic Tween

The Basic tween type can move an object from one position to another, scale it up or down, or rotate it.

Property	Description
Default Scene Object	The object you want to apply the animation to
Animation Mode	The type of animation, in this case Basic
Pause	Pauses the animation
Play Mode	Refers to how the animation is played Loop plays to the end and then resets to the beginning Loop once plays to the end and then resets to the beginning, but only once Ping-Pong plays to the end and then reverses back to the beginning Ping-Pong plays to the end and then reverses back to the beginning, but only once
Animation Type	The type of transform animation Position animates the object's position Scale animates the object's scale or size Rotate animates the object's rotation
Motion Type	Indicates how the animation start and end values will be specified From To specifies both the start and end values of the animation To takes the start value of the animation from the current state of the Scene object, while the end value of the animation is specified Offset takes the start value of the animation from the current state of the Scene object and the end value of the animation from the start value after it has been transformed by the specified offset
Duration	The duration of the animation, in seconds
Delay	How long to wait before starting the animation
Easing Function	Controls the rate of change in the object's movement to make it appear more natural and realistic. Available easing functions are: Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic, Quintic, Sinusoidal, Exponential, Circular, Elastic, Back, Bounce, and Power.
Timing Function	Controls the speed at which the animation's properties change to make them appear more natural and realistic. Available timing functions are: None, Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In and Out.

Path Mode Tween

The Path Mode tween type sets several target positions and moves the object between them.

Property	Description
Default Scene Object	The object you want to apply the animation to
Animation Mode	The type of animation, in this case Path Mode
Pause	Pauses the animation
Play Mode	Refers to how the animation is played Loop plays to the end and then resets to the beginning Loop once plays to the end and then resets to the beginning, but only once Ping-Pong plays to the end and then reverses back to the beginning Ping-Pong plays to the end and then reverses back to the beginning, but only once
Animation Type	The type of transform animation Position animates the object's position Scale animates the object's scale or size Rotate animates the object's rotation
Path Points 0	The first target position to move between
Path Points 1	The second target position to move between
Path Points 2	The third target position to move between
Fixed Duration	When turned on, applies a fixed duration of the animation. Available properties are: Duration: The duration of the animation (in seconds) Delay: How long to wait before starting the animation Orientation: Whether the object will orient the path's forward direction using it's z-axis or not Path Type: Whether the path points should be connected by a Straight (linear) or Curved line Easing Function: Controls the rate of change in the object's movement to make it appear more natural and realistic. Available easing functions are: Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic, Quintic, Sinusoidal, Exponential, Circular, Elastic, Back, Bounce, and Power. Timing Function: Controls the speed at which the animation's properties change to make them appear more natural and realistic. Available timing functions are: None, Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In and Out.

Follow Mode Tween

The Follow Mode tween type sets a follower object and another object to be tracked.

Property	Description
Default Scene Object	The object you want to apply the animation to
Animation Mode	The type of animation, in this case Follow Mode
Pause	Pauses the animation
Animation Type	The type of transform animation Position animates the object's position Scale animates the object's scale or size Rotate animates the object's rotation
Motion Type	Indicates how the animation start and end values will be specified From To specifies both the start and end values of the animation To takes the start value of the animation from the current state of the Scene object, while the end value of the animation is specified Offset takes the start value of the animation from the current state of the Scene object and the end value of the animation from the start value after it has been transformed by the specified offset
Start	The position of the first object
End	The position of the object to reach at the end
Duration	The duration of the animation, in seconds
Delay	How long to wait before starting the animation
Easing Function	Controls the rate of change in the object's movement to make it appear more natural and realistic. Available easing functions are: Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic, Quintic, Sinusoidal, Exponential, Circular, Elastic, Back, Bounce, and Power.
Timing Function	Controls the speed at which the animation's properties change to make them appear more natural and realistic. Available timing functions are: None, Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In and Out.

Material Mode Tween

The Material Mode tween type modifies an object's material properties.

Property	Description
Default Scene Object	The object you want to apply the animation to
Animation Mode	The type of animation, in this case Material Mode
Pause	Pauses the animation
Play Mode	Refers to how the animation is played Loop plays to the end and then resets to the beginning Loop once plays to the end and then resets to the beginning, but only once Ping-Pong plays to the end and then reverses back to the beginning Ping-Pong plays to the end and then reverses back to the beginning, but only once
Animation Type	Which material property of the object to animate. Can be Base Color, Emissive Color, or UV.
Motion Type	Indicates how the animation start and end values will be specified From To specifies both the start and end values of the animation To takes the start value of the animation from the current state of the Scene object, while the end value of the animation is specified Offset takes the start value of the animation from the current state of the Scene object and the end value of the animation from the start value after it has been transformed by the specified offset
Start	The starting color for the animation
End	The ending color for the animation
Duration	The duration of the animation, in seconds
Delay	How long to wait before starting the animation
Easing Function	Controls the rate of change in the object's movement to make it appear more natural and realistic. Available easing functions are: Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic, Quintic, Sinusoidal, Exponential, Circular, Elastic, Back, Bounce, and Power.
Timing Function	Controls the speed at which the animation's properties change to make them appear more natural and realistic. Available timing functions are: None, Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In and Out.
