3D Rotate
With this action you can “rotate” your glyphs in “3D” space:
The parameters of this action set angles of rotation for glyphs around
imaginary axes. Z Rotation means rotation around the vertical axis. Y
Rotation is around the horizontal axis. The vertical axis goes through the
middle of the glyph.
Gradient
Here’s what you can do with this effect:
As parameters of this effect you can set the number of stripes that appear
on your glyphs, the starting and finishing line of the effect and the
direction of the gradient.
The starting and finishing lines can be manually set to let you customize
this effect and make it look the same in all glyphs. Note that these values
are set in font units so they are relative to the font’s UPM value.
