Animating three-dimensional models using preset combinations of animation features

A computer-implemented method for rendering three-dimensional animations in association with two-dimensional work pages, the method comprising:

• receiving document data that defines one or more two-dimensional work pages;
• receiving object data that defines a three-dimensional model of an object;
• displaying an animation preset graphical user interface (GUI) for showing a plurality of animation presets that are deployable to superimpose animations of the three-dimensional model of the object over the one or more two-dimensional work pages;
• receiving an input indicating a location on an individual two-dimensional work page, of the one or more two-dimensional work pages, to animate the three-dimensional model of the object;
• responsive to the input, superimposing a three-dimensional scene box onto the individual two-dimensional work page at the location;
• receiving a selection of a particular animation preset that defines a combination of animation features for animating the three-dimensional model of the object within the three-dimensional scene box;
• and
• generating, based on the object data, a rendering of the object progressing through the combination of animation features within the three-dimensional scene box.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory in communication with the one or more processors, the memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the client device to:
• receive object data defining a three-dimensional model of the object;
• display an animation preset graphical user interface (GUI) that shows a plurality of animation presets that are deployable to animate the object, wherein individual animation presets define individual combinations of two or more of a translation animation feature, a rotation animation feature, or an opacity animation feature;
• receive a selection of a particular animation preset defining a selected combination of two or more of the translation animation feature, the rotation animation feature, or the opacity animation feature;
• receive an input indicating an animation space for generating a rendering of the object in accordance with the particular animation preset defining the selected combination;
• and
• generate, based on the object data, the rendering of the object progressing through the selected combination within the animation space indicated by the input.
