CG INFINITY: CHAPTER TWO
323
Setting your default object style
Whenever you create an object, it takes its initial style from the current
default as indicated by the graphic at the bottom of the Tool panel. You
can change this default at any time by right-clicking it and choosing the
Properties command. In the Properties dialog box that opens, you can
specify the new defaults. To use an existing object's style as the default,
first select it and then click the Use As Default Style command from the
right mouse pop-up menu. The graphic in the Tool panel changes accord-
ingly to reflect the new style. (You can also change the default style by
dragging-and-dropping a style directly from the Style gallery in the
Production Library to the graphic on the Tool panel.) If you wish to apply
the default style to another object, first select the object and then choose
the Use Default Style command from the right mouse pop-up menu.

Creating text and shape objects
CG Infinity is designed specifically for creating various text and shape
objects. The Text tool is ideal for producing impressive opening and
ending credits as well as flashy text effects. The Shape tool creates
regular shapes such as squares and polygons while the Path and Free-
hand tools enable you to draw your own objects and even trace over
existing images.
