Wax's 3D effects are split into two categories - Basic and General. | |||
Basic | ===Basic=== | ||
* Transform 3D - allows the footage to be transformed in 3D space (transformation, scale, rotation, etc.) This effect is prerequisite for all other 3D effects and is added automatically if not present when one is added in. | * '''Transform 3D''' - allows the footage to be transformed in 3D space (transformation, scale, rotation, etc.) This effect is prerequisite for all other 3D effects and is added automatically if not present when one is added in. | ||
* Objects 3D - converts the footage into a 3D primitive object. These include a plane (default), a cube, a sphere, a cylinder, or a torus. | * '''Objects 3D''' - converts the footage into a 3D primitive object. These include a plane (default), a cube, a sphere, a cylinder, or a torus. | ||
