Although this was a small chapter, the workflow you learned here is an important step to create professional and efficient animations. In this chapter, your focus was on how to create animations using imported 3D models or some of the native Lumion models.

However, you also learned that planning is at the heart of every successful animation and that this planning can be achieved by using a simple storyboard to set up scenes and camera movements. Then, you saw how to efficiently import animations and control them using a simple clip. After this, you learned how to use three simple but efficient effects to create animations that can bring life and uniqueness to your scenes.

Nevertheless, these effects are just the start. There is so much you can do with effects and that is something we will cover in the next chapter. Also, we will start to produce still images with the help of the Photo mode and add a special touch with effects.
