In the next task, create three different snapshots simulating the viewfinder focus effect.
In the first snapshot, the top prism is shifted to the left and the background image appears
out of focus. In the second snapshot, the top and bottom prisms are aligned and the
background image appears in focus. In the third snapshot, the bottom prism shifts to the
right and the background image appears out of focus.
For detailed information on using rigs, widgets, and snapshots, see Using Rigs.
To create the SLR rig’s snapshots
1 In the Layers list, select the Background Group checkbox to see the effect of the snapshots
as you create them.
2 In the Rig Inspector, double-click just below the middle of the slider control to add a new
snapshot, then drag the snapshot’s blue tag to approximately 50.
Drag the blue dot
to adjust the value
of the snapshot.
3 Click the first snapshot (the tag furthest to the left), then set the following values:
a Set the Gaussian Blur.Amount to 150.
b Set the Bottom Prism.X to 25.
c Set the Top Prism.X to –25.
This snapshot simulates the viewfinder of an SLR camera focused at one extreme.
