Animations

Learn more about animation workflow and components.

Workflow

Almost all animations in DreamOS are handled by custom managers and components. Some panels, UI elements and modal animations are handled using the built-in animator tool (and can be customized using the built-in animation window), but don’t worry, we’ve optimized the workflow by culling/disabling unused animation states!

We created script based animation components for all the other animations. These components can be added to your custom UI objects using the build menu (Create > DreamOS > Animations). You can see some of them on this page.

Image Fading

Changes the opacity (alpha) of the image based on the given parameters. It is mostly used to provide a smooth transition between panels.

Property	Type	Function
doPingPong	bool	Returns a value that will increment and decrement between the value and length.
fadeSpeed	float	Changes the fade speed.
fadeCurve	AnimationCurve	Store a collection of Keyframes that can be evaluated over time.
enableBehaviour	enum	Defines whether the object will be active or not.
onFadeIn	UnityEvent	Invoke specific events onFadeIn, onFadeInEnd, onFadeOut and onFadeOutEnd,

Image Pulse

Changes the image transparency between the min and max value. It is mostly used to provide a background effect.

Property	Type	Function
minAlpha/maxAlpha	float	Specifies the minimum/maximum transparency (alpha).
pulseSpeed	float	Changes the pulse speed.
pulseCurve	AnimationCurve	Store a collection of Keyframes that can be evaluated over time.

Rect Depth

Adds a cursor-based depth effect to Rect Transform. It is mostly used to add immersion to static background images.

Property	Type	Function
smoothness	float	Changes the rect movement smoothness.
multiplier	float	Multiplies the rect position.
maxRectScale	float	Sets the max transform scale limit.

Spinner

Rotates the transform to create the spin effect.

Property	Type	Function
speed	float	Sets the spinner speed.

UI Popup

Shows or hides the transform depending on the animation mode.

Property	Type	Function
playOnEnable	bool	Plays the animation on enable (based on startBehaviour).
fitterMode	bool	Adapts itself to Content Size Fitter for dynamic usage.
startBehaviour	enum	Defines whether the object will be active or not.
animationCurve	AnimationCurve	Store a collection of Keyframes that can be evaluated over time.
curveSpeed	float	Changes the animation curve speed.
