Experimenting with the step animation.

Simple but effective.

Allows you to imitate a number automatic X3D animations all inside X3D

Inspiring. I used to experiment with that program quite a lot but am so enamored with my other Xara programs that I have chosen to stick with them for the most part. This just goes to show what can be done with some imagination. Thanks for the inspiration salaam.

This is the first for ages since I've used X3D as well Larry.
It won't let me add many more objects.

i like that. Is this step animation also?

Yes, Step.
It recently occured to me that a lot of different movements could be achieved very simply using this method. The other animation methods tend to be limited to one type of movement. With the 'Step', it is probably possible to replicate most of the other animation methods. Not only that but all methods could be combined into one animation (to some degree).
These two examples, both replicate 'rotate' and 'ripple'.
