# 💨 Animations

## Glossary of Studio Terms

**Loop: for those 3D model experiences with "baked" animations.** Creators can choose what type of animation cadence they'd like for their experiences *(note: supported with world, face, and marker tracked placements)*:\
+**Loop once**: plays the animation one time\
+**Loop repeat**:  In repeat and pingpong modes, the clip plays once plus the specified number of repetitions. \
+**Loop pingpong:** In pingpong modes, the clip plays once plus the specified number of repetitions. For pingpong, every second clip plays in reverse.

**Time Scale:** Scaling factor for playback speed. A value of 0 causes the animation to pause. A value of 1 is normal playback speed. Negative values cause the animation to play backwards.

### **Animated Rotation**

Set up an animation of the model over a specific axis. \
\&#xNAN;*(note: works with world tracking and marker tracking based experiences)*

**Axis:** the x, y, or z dimension that the creator can determine the animation rotates over. Value for each are between -1 to 1.

**Revolution Speed:** the speed for a single full revolution in milliseconds. Note: the higher the number the slower the revolution speed.
