Hey Insiders!

My name is Aimee, and I'm a PM in the Office Graphics team. I’m excited to announce five new 3D animations in PowerPoint that can bring your 3D models to life. These are fantastic for exploring models, elevating your storytelling skills, and building even more immersive presentations.

3D Animations has begun rolling out to Windows Desktop Office 365 subscribers for Insiders Slow on Version 1712 (Build 8827.2082).

Getting started

Applying these new 3D animations is easy and familiar.

  1. In PowerPoint, insert any 3D model you would like to animate

  1. Navigate to the Animation Ribbon. With your 3D model selected, the five new 3D animations will be available in the Animations Gallery. Go ahead and select one!

  1. Adjust the direction, intensity and other parameters of your 3D animation in the Effect Options dropdown, located in the Animations Ribbon

Feedback

We are actively working on this feature in Office, and your Insider feedback is key to guiding improvements! If you have any 3D animations that you think could be powerful and impactful in presentations, please leave a comment below.

    I would like to know how to import an animated 3D model from Remix3D to my Powerpoint presentation. I'm interested in animated tectonic plates.

    Thank you

    Any reason why "Insert > 3D Models" doesn't have "From Online Sources..." available as an option for me on version 1712 (Build 8827.2082 Click-to-Run)? I only have "From a File..." as an option?

    Could you please share the version of Windows you are running when you cannot see the "From Online Sources..." option? Thanks.

    What version and build of Office do you have installed? You can find that by going to File > Account, and looking for the section that reads "Version xxxx (Build xxxxx.xxxxx Click-to-Run)."
