We do not currently support animation within our data definition. That said, we provide APIs to move objects, changes their colors etc. which allows developers to easily support animations within their HOOPS-based solution. You can see an example of such an animation here: [Work Procedure & EC Site | HOOPS Web Viewer](https://cloud.techsoft3d.com/demos/work-procedure/).

HOOPS Communicator began support for animation in the 2021 SP1 release. For more information: [Animation](https://docs.techsoft3d.com/communicator/latest/build/prog_guide/viewing/animation.html)
