Abstract

Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for software-based animation. A method can include receiving data indicating a first object name, a corresponding file path of a model, a camera location, a reference point, and an animation of the first object, the animation comprising a stack of atomic animation functions that affect the view of one or more of the first object or the camera, storing the object name, the file path, the camera location, the reference location, and atomic animation functions in a memory, in response to receiving data indicating the first object was selected, automatically retrieving the model based on the file path, providing, by the display, a view of the model of the first object consistent with the camera location and the reference point, and executing the stored atomic animation functions to animate the model of the first object.
