Bend - Ulead COOL 3D User Manual

Bend

Use this plug-in effect to bend your object in any direction, then animate the bending movement
to attract special attention. In this tutorial, learn how to combine this effect with basic rotation
settings. (Settings: 30 frames, 15 fps.)
To apply the Bend effect to an object:
1 Insert a text object in the Edit Window. Click
Add plug-in and select Bend in the
Attribute Panel.
2 At frame 1, set the Direction of the bend to
Y-Z and select Asymmetric under Type. Set
the Level to 100 to completely bend the
object, and set the Cutting Point to 50 so
that the object bends at the center.
3 At frame 30, set the Level to 0. This allows
the object to unbend.
4 Click Rotate Object on the Location
Toolbar. At frame 1, the rotation
coordinates should all be 0. At frame 30, set
the Z coordinate to -720. This rotates the
object twice in a clockwise direction.
5 Click Play to preview the animation.
