Do you know, that… ?

Today I decided to show you, how to synchronize motion in an animation. However, the aforementioned synchronization can apply to every item, which can be included in the animation. E.g, rotating the model and hiding a component simultaneously, or zooming and exploring at the same time.

See an example.

After synchronization, it looks like this:
