Transforming objects in three
dimensions
The 3D Transform filter lets you manipulate a flat,
two-dimensional image as if it were a solid, 3-D
object. Take, for example, a perspective photo-
graph of a cereal box. You specify the corners of the
box using a wire frame, and can then manipulate
the box as if it were a 3-dimensional object. You
can reposition the box, turn or rotate it, shrink or
enlarge it, and change its field of view.
In addition to boxes, you can manipulate spheres
and cylinders using wire frames based on those
shapes. Cylinders can include anything from
simple objects, such as a can of soup, to shapes
whose sides are lathed, such as a bottle or a lamp.
You can create and manipulate any grouping of
cubes, spheres, and cylinders in the same image.
For example, you can create and rotate a box, two
balls, and a bottle together in the same image.
