Dance - Ulead COOL 3D User Manual

Dance

This effect brings out the buoyancy in your title. Choose from several dance styles - Shake,
Scatter, Wave, and Bounce. The following tutorial shows you how to make a bouncing project.
(Settings: 30 frames, 15 fps.)
To make a title bounce:
1 Insert a text object in the Edit Window. Click
Add plug-in and select Dance in the
Attribute Panel.
2 At frame 1, select Bounce as the Dance
Mode in the Attribute Panel and select
Random for Sequence.
3 Set Ground to 1. This is the minimum
distance that the letter will fall in order to
bounce. Specify 100 for Rebound, which
makes the letters bounce highest.
4 Specify 10 as the Tempo for fastest
bouncing speed. Set the Variation to 0.
This means that the letters will start out in
their normal stationary position - standing
up and facing forward.
5 At frame 30 of the animation, set the
Variation to 50. This means that by the last
frame, the letters will be facing in widely
differing directions, as if they were
bouncing out of control.
6 Click Play to preview your project. Try
using different values for Seed. This
generates a slightly different variation of
the Dance effect.
