We explored how you can add 3D objects in PowerPoint using the new 3D feature available to Microsoft Office 365 subscribers. But until now, any movement happened using the Morph transition effect.
So what does “movement only through Morph” mean? It means that you could not animate the 3D object in 3D space without Morph. Any movement in 3D space was only possible using a Morph transition, and the biggest disadvantage of this approach was that you needed to duplicate your slide for any movement to occur. For a reasonably adventurous concept, you may even need more than two slides. I remember creating something with 3D models that spanned 5 slides, all with the Morph transition applied.
Any movement in PowerPoint happens using two features:
And herein lay the problem: this seemed like a workaround. And now it seems true that this was indeed a workaround because Microsoft just introduced real 3D animations in PowerPoint. At the time of writing, these animations are only available to Office Insider subscribers of Office 365. Both Office Insider Slow and Office Insider Fast rings have access to these animations.
Without further ado, let’s show you where you can find these new features. Here’s a quick walkthrough:
Don’t see any 3D animations in your drop-down gallery? This may happen due to two reasons:
Here is a video clip in which Doug Thomas discusses using these 3D animations.
And here’s another video that shows all five 3D animations.
