Working with the Title 3D Generator
Title 3D offers vector-based text that can be manipulated in 3D Space with full pivot control,
animated tracking and other text transformations including type on effects. Once you set the
characteristics of the individual text characters in the Text window, you can animate the text.
Unlike the parameters in the Text window, the parameters in the Controls tab apply to the
text globally.
Selecting the 1:2:1 Deßicker checkbox applies a vertical blur to the effect to help eliminate
ßickering and reduce jagged edges on moving graphics with hard edges.
Working with the Geometry Parameter Group
Position X/Y set the coordinates of the text’s center point. Adjust Position X/Y to reposition
the text. If the text is rotated using the Tumble, Spin or Rotate parameters, Position X/Y
positions the rotated text.
Distance adjusts the apparent depth of the text. Decreasing negative values move the text
closer to the viewer, while increasing positive values move the text farther away. Very low
Position Z values move the text behind the viewer, making it invisible. If the text is rotated
using the Tumble, Spin or Rotate parameters, Distance positions the rotated text.
The Lock to Scale X checkbox locks the Scale X and Scale Y values together, so the when
you adjust Scale X, Scale Y updates the same amount.
