Chapter 13 Flashcards
How can you automatically switch all groups in your project to 3D?
By adding a camera.
How to you add a camera?
In the toolbar, click the New Camera button, or choose Object > New Camera.
Name three locations in which you can change the position and rotation of a layer or group in 3D space.
In the Inspector, the HUD, or the Canvas.
What is the difference between layers in a 2D group and in a 3D group?
Layers in a 2D group are not affected by the camera, and are composited based on stacking order in the Layers list.
Do the 3D View tools always control the camera?
No. The 3D View tools control the camera only when the window is set to a Camera view.
Which tool is used to make 3D transformations directly in the Canvas, and which keyboard shortcut selects it?
The Adjust 3D Transform tool allows you to transform the position and rotation of layers and groups in both the HUD and the Canvas. Press Q to select the Adjust 3D Transform tool.
How can you quickly move a camera to look at and frame a specific layer in 3D space?
Select the layer, and from the Camera menu, choose Frame Object, or press Shift-Command-F.
In the HUD, how would you set the Adjust Around pop-up menu if you wanted the z-axis of a layer to always point straight at you, no matter how the layer or the camera was oriented?
Set the Adjust Around pop-up menu to View Axis mode to orient the axes so that they reflect the orientation of your computer screen.
If you applied an image mask to a layer that is positioned in 3D space, why wouldn’t the image mask appear on the layer?
The image mask source is not aligned to the layer you are masking.
