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.

You can also use Send A Smile in PowerPoint to send us a smile or frown and let us know what you think. Your thoughts are valuable to us.

    Hi Jean-Michel,

    It should be appearing in fast, slow, or production monthly channel versions. If you've got the semi-annual, I don't think it's caught up to that.

    It's under the Insert tab in PowerPoint.

    What's the full version and build you're using?

    Hello Luckylima

    i get the 3D features running, but what I said is that the 3D content is not dynamicly usable while in « presentation » mode, it is only in « edition » mode.

    thanks

    This is an Office 365 subscription feature, the one time purchase versions of Office 2016 do not support it.

    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
