The parameters will update accordingly.
5. Adjust the desired parameters on the timeline or using the tabs in the Control window
until you are satisfied with the result.
For parameter descriptions, see “3D Container Controls” on page 287.
Creating a 3D Model Container
The 3D model renderer is similar to Z space composite, but it lets you to use 3D extrusion
shapes in the container and apply 3D parameters such as materials, textures, and bump maps
to two dimensional shapes. A 3D container using the 3D model renderer is also known as a
3D model container.
You can include tracks that use the 3D Sphere, 3D Plane, Cylinder, Cube, and Page Turn
shapes. When you include one of these shape tracks in the container, the track is called a 3D
primitive. You can then apply any of the 3D parameters, such as materials and textures, to
any of the 3D primitive tracks in the 3D model container. See “Using 3D Primitives in a 3D
Model Container” on page 244.

You cannot include a 3D Line Art track in a 3D model container. When you add it or switch
the shape track, you will notice that the Toggle Track Visibility button is automatically
disabled.
To create a 3D model container:
1. On the timeline, select the tracks that you want to place in the container.
2. Click the Add 3D Model Container button.
The tracks are nested inside a 3D Container that uses the 3D model renderer as seen in
the Controls window.
