Chapter 7 Working with Shapes
308
When you use a 3D Primitive shape, the Texture track is selected by default. To use a
material instead, deselect the Texture track option in the Texture tab. 3D Primitives only
include a single material which is set in the Materials tab. You cannot map different
materials to each Face.
Using Common Shape Parameters
With a few exceptions, the following parameters are shared by all shapes.
The common tabs include the following:
• Controlling the Location of the Shape on page 308
• Setting an External Pivot Point on page 309
• Adjusting the Camera Perspective on page 309
• Blurring an Image on page 310
• Applying Motion Blur to Masks on page 312
• Compositing using Apply Modes on page 312
Controlling the Location of the Shape
The Position tab contains parameters that control the location of the shape in 3D space, the
opacity of the image, and the size of the shape. Additional parameters allow you to change
the image’s perspective along the X, Y, and Z-axes.
