Opening a file or a book animation storyline 360

Dear Community, 

I am trying to create the following: I have an image of a closed file /folder, and I want to give the impression that the files/folder opens when the user clicks on it.

I have tried with states, adding a similar image that shows the file opened, and I have tried a few animations (I copied the image into the new state), but it doesn't change as smoothly as I expected, any advice?

Many Thanks in advance

  • If you still need this, I did something similar but used PPT to animate it and export as a video. For your purposes, an image of a closed folder would become hidden when clicked and then the animation would start. Here is a tutorial to make that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snmhGmNSL_w#:~:text=hello%20and%20welcome%20to%20my%20youtube%20channel,shapes%20select%20rectangle.%20and%20drag%20the%20rectangle.

  • For best results you want to create in-betweens. For example, an image of the file closed, half open and then fully opened. the more in-betweens images, better the animation will look.
