Example 2: Wrap Percent. A Wrap Percent of 100 wraps the source image completely
around the cylinder. As Wrap Percent approaches 0, the shape becomes less cylindrical and
closer to the original flat image.The overall effect is a gradual flattening of the image as the
cylinder unwraps.
n
If you spin, tumble, or rotate a cylinder and then unwrap it, the object returns to its original
position in 3D space as it unwraps. To spin the cylinder through one full revolution and
unwrap it as it spins, animate Spin Y from –360 to 0 (or 360 to 0 to go the other direction).
Otherwise, the image’s motion counteracts the Spin Y as it moves to the original, unrotated
position.
Example 3: Axial Displacement. Use this parameter to make the front of the cylinder
partially or fully transparent to reveal an image on the inside. A setting of 100 makes the
cylinder completely opaque; a setting of 0 makes the front of the cylinder completely
transparent.
The following explain the Wrap menu options. The Wrap menu does not appear when you
use the Cylinder as a 3D primitive. For more information, see “Using the Cylinder Shape as
a 3D Primitive” on page 341.
