In this article, we will be looking at how to create a simple animation in Figma. In order to do so, we will be creating a basic animation of a ball bouncing off the ground.
First, we will create a basic Figma file to house our animation. .
Once the file is created, we will begin by importing the necessary modules. We will first import the Figma module, which will allow us to create our document.
Next, we will import the Ball module, which will allow us to create our ball. Finally, we will import the necessary Figma objects to create our animation.
Once the imports are complete, we will begin setting up our document. We will start by setting the width and height of our document.
We will also set the margin to create some space between our document and the edge of the screen.
Next, we will create a container for our animation. We will do this by selecting the Ball object and clicking on the Create New Container button.
We will then enter the name of our container in the Name field and click on the OK button.
Once our container is created, we will add the ball to our container. We will do this by clicking on the Add Parent button and selecting the container we just created.
We will then click on the Add Child button and select the Ball object.
Now that the ball is in the container, we will begin setting up our animation. We will do this by selecting the Ball object and clicking on the Animation button.
We will then select the Bounce option from the drop-down menu and click on the OK button.
Now that our animation is set up, we will need to add some basic properties to our ball. We will do this by clicking on the Properties button and selecting the Ball object.
We will then select the Radius field and enter a value of 1 in the field. We will also select the Gravity field and enter a value of 0 in the field.
Now that our ball properties are set, we will need to add some basic motion to our ball. We will do this by clicking on the Motion tab and selecting the Bounce option from the drop-down menu.
We will then select the From Top option and click on the OK button.
Next, we will add some basic properties to our container. We will do this by selecting the Container object and clicking on the Properties button.
We will then select the Width and Height fields and enter values of 600 and 300 in the fields, respectively. We will also select the Margin field and enter a value of 20 in the field.
Now that our container and ball properties are set, we will need to add some basic animations to our animation. We will do this by clicking on the Animations tab and selecting the Add Animation button.
Next, we will select the Ball object and click on the Add Animation button. We will then select the Bounce option from the drop-down menu and click on the OK button.
Finally, we will select the container object and click on the Add Animation button. We will then select the From Bottom option and click on the OK button.
Now that our animations are set up, we will need to add some properties to our container.
We will then select the Width and Height fields and enter values of 300 and 600 in the fields, respectively. We will also select the Margin field and enter a value of 0 in the field.
Now that our container properties are set, we will need to add some basic motion to our container. We will do this by clicking on the Motion tab and selecting the From Bottom option from the drop-down menu.
We will then select the From Left option and click on the OK button.
Next, we will add some basic properties to our ball.
We will then select the Radius field and enter a value of 2 in the field. We will also select the Gravity field and enter a value of 1 in the field.
Finally, we will add a final animation to our animation.
We will then select theCompleted option and click on the OK button.
Now that our animation is complete, we will need to save our document.
