TMS VCL GUIMotions

While it can be argued that including animations into the UI can cause it to become laggy on certain computers with fewer resources, the truth is that well-crafted animations can have a major positive effect on users. In addition to making them feel valued, the animations can also help you make software solutions with successful interactivity.

TMS VCL GUIMotions is a set of components that enables you to integrate 3D animated user experience elements to your applications effortlessly. The library packs eight different modes that can be applied to images, controls or glyphs. The animations can be loaded directly, file reference or threaded and you can even include custom drawn items. It goes without saying that animations can be controlled via mouse or keyboard and they are zoomable.

Then again, you should bear in mind that for animations to strengthen UX, you should make sure that you use them where they can actually make a difference. More precisely, they can be employed as parts of skeleton screens to keep users interested while the content is fully loaded or to highlight a part of the webpage or program where the focus should be, which can be a shopping cart, a promotional product or a function.
