Rotating a 3-D Object

Chapter 8:

Graphic Functions: Rotation, Position, Scale

You can independently control each Graphic Object’s rotation direction and speed; along with it’s position and scale in x, y, and z axis directions.

The parameters described in this chapter are set for each Graphic Object you define. Parameters for composite image rotation, position and global scale are described in Chapter 11: Global Functions.

Note: The suggested default DMX values given for each parameter are recommended to build libraries that provide the easiest and most reliable content selection, rendering and output.

The Rotation parameters for each object control 3-D object rotation with 16-bit precision. You can rotate a 3-D object up to 720° in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the X, Y and/or Z axis.

Note: Remember that rotation changes could affect an object’s relationship to other objects.

When you rotate an object, you are rotating it around the selected axis. X Rotation produces the effect of a top-to-bottom flip. Y Rotation produces a left-to-right flip. Z Rotation causes a circular motion.
