Creating, Moving, and Rotating a Cube

Chapter 5 Special Effects Operations
Using the auto cube function to move or rotate any parallelepiped
(six faced solid with all opposite faces parallel) such as a cubic or
slab, you can automatically carry out the switch between front and
back video. Since you can use one image to provide a pair of
opposite faces, you can create a symmetrical solid with the
minimum number of channels or edit operations.
This section describes how to create a cube or slab, and move or
rotate it using the auto cube function.
The first example shows how to create, move, and rotate a cube of
side 6.00 units.
