This quick entry demonstrates the Build Modifier. It is very simple and has a neat animation effect. When added, you'll first notice that your mesh disappears. This is because all the vertices are hidden, and will be sequentially revealed when the animation is played [ALT + A].
In the properties panel, there are a few controls. The Start and Length are used to control the timing and length of the animation, and the Randomize allows the sequence of vertices to appear randomly.
To demonstrate this neat effect, I downloaded a motorcycle from Blend Swap, combined all the separate parts into a single mesh by joining [CTRL+J], and added this modifier. Since I didn't use the Randomize function, the mesh built in a semi-ordered path, and so I tried to follow that path with the camera.
