Plug-in Madness II

Ulead COOL 3D User Guide

Welcome to Ulead COOL 3D PLUG-IN
MADNESS II

Once again, Ulead offers you innovative new tools, bringing
you the power to create dazzling and dynamic three-dimen­sional titles for just about anything - web sites, documents,
presentations, and much more. Ulead COOL 3D PLUG-IN
MADNESS II expands your repertoire of special effects, all of
which come with easy-to-use presets. To apply a preset,
simply double-click or drag a thumbnail to your title. You can
also customize effects in no time by selecting options on the
Attribute Toolbar to get just what you want.

New effects in Ulead COOL 3D PLUG-IN MADNESS II
include:

• Bevel Effects Transform text into a unique and twisted

outline. Or create a three-dimensional object, then rotate it
to convey a longer message.

• Object Effects Create dynamic titles that make a stunning

impact. Destroy your text with three-dimensional explosion
pieces, or choreograph individual letters of a title to move,
grow, rotate, or warp in complex action sequences.

• Global Effects Let your title cast a shadowy reflection on

the background, or simply let the text itself merge or
disappear into the background - just the way you want it.

Bevel effects

New Bevel effects allow you to convey your message in
unique style. Transform your text to an outline, or put a whole
string of text on different faces of a three-dimensional object.
To make Bevel characteristics change during the course of an
animation, try altering variables on the Attribute Toolbar in
different key frames.

Outline

This plug-in lets you reduce text to its outline structure and
then put a twist on it. Animate your title to make it spin like
cogs in the machinery. A wide range of Shapes are available to
give your outline an interesting form.

Create a neon sign by combin­ing the Outline and Glow
effects. In this example,

Concave

has been selected in
the Shapes box, giving the title
unique style.

Enter a value for Twist Level to
give your title the look of
wrought iron.

Give your title a sharp-edged
look by choosing

Diamond

as

the Shape of the outline.
