00:00:00.01 --> 00:00:02.00

- [Narrator] In this movie,

I'll show you how to rotate



2

00:00:02.00 --> 00:00:05.03

an object in 3D space, so

you have a definite sense



3

00:00:05.03 --> 00:00:06.07

for what's going on.



4

00:00:06.07 --> 00:00:08.02

And I'll also introduce you



5

00:00:08.02 --> 00:00:11.00

to the concepts of pitch, yaw, and roll.



6

00:00:11.00 --> 00:00:14.01

Alright, so I'm going to turn

off this 3D revolve layer,



7

00:00:14.01 --> 00:00:17.04

and turn on 3D extrude, which

is the layer that contains



8

00:00:17.04 --> 00:00:18.07

the purple notes.



9

00:00:18.07 --> 00:00:20.06

We don't need this text anymore,



10

00:00:20.06 --> 00:00:22.00

so I'll just go ahead and delete it.



11

00:00:22.00 --> 00:00:24.03

And then, I'll select the

notes by clicking on them.



12

00:00:24.03 --> 00:00:27.00

Now from this point

on, the selection edges



13

00:00:27.00 --> 00:00:29.00

are just going to get

in our way, so I'm going



14

00:00:29.00 --> 00:00:32.04

to press Control-H or Command-H

on the Mac to hide them.



15

00:00:32.04 --> 00:00:34.03

Then, I'll bring up the appearance panel,



16

00:00:34.03 --> 00:00:37.05

and click on 3D Exclude & Bevel



17

00:00:37.05 --> 00:00:39.06

to revisit that dialogue box.



18

00:00:39.06 --> 00:00:40.07

Now once again,



19

00:00:40.07 --> 00:00:42.08

you have to be prepared for

the fact that Illustrator



20

00:00:42.08 --> 00:00:45.05

constantly turns off

the Preview check box,



21

00:00:45.05 --> 00:00:47.06

so you'll want to turn that back on.



22

00:00:47.06 --> 00:00:49.03

And now we're going to focus our attention



23

00:00:49.03 --> 00:00:52.06

on these three values right

here, which are labeled



24

00:00:52.06 --> 00:00:54.07

X, Y, and Z.



25

00:00:54.07 --> 00:00:56.05

It's a little confusing, however.



26

00:00:56.05 --> 00:01:00.02

Notice if I change the X

value, that I'm actually



27

00:01:00.02 --> 00:01:03.07

rotating the object around the X-axis.



28

00:01:03.07 --> 00:01:07.05

So in other words, I'm

moving the object forward



29

00:01:07.05 --> 00:01:11.00

and backward, which is,

strictly speaking, a rotation



30

00:01:11.00 --> 00:01:16.02

in Z-space, as well as up and

down, which is a Y-rotation.



31

00:01:16.02 --> 00:01:18.06

Which is why I prefer to

think of these guys as



32

00:01:18.06 --> 00:01:21.05

pitch, yaw, and roll.



33

00:01:21.05 --> 00:01:23.07

So imagine that you're in an airplane,



34

00:01:23.07 --> 00:01:25.08

if you move the nose of the airplane up,



35

00:01:25.08 --> 00:01:27.05

then you're pitching it upward.



36

00:01:27.05 --> 00:01:28.09

If you move it down,



37

00:01:28.09 --> 00:01:30.06

then you're pitching it downward.



38

00:01:30.06 --> 00:01:35.00

The other option, by the way,

is to drag one of the bars



39

00:01:35.00 --> 00:01:38.02

that appears in red, where

this cube is concerned.



40

00:01:38.02 --> 00:01:41.08

So I can either pitch the object

up, by dragging it upward,



41

00:01:41.08 --> 00:01:45.00

or I can pitch it down, like so.



42

00:01:45.00 --> 00:01:49.00

Next we have the yaw control,

which is ultimately going



43

00:01:49.00 --> 00:01:52.09

to change the direction of our airplane.



44

00:01:52.09 --> 00:01:55.09

And I can do that by either

changing this Y-value here,



45

00:01:55.09 --> 00:01:59.03

or by dragging one of these green bars.



46

00:01:59.03 --> 00:02:03.00

So notice if I drag to the

left, I am steering my nose



47

00:02:03.00 --> 00:02:05.06

to the left, and if I

drag them to the right,



48

00:02:05.06 --> 00:02:08.02

then I'm steering them to

the right, and once again,



49

00:02:08.02 --> 00:02:10.04

that is known as yaw.



50

00:02:10.04 --> 00:02:12.06

And then finally we have the Z-control



51

00:02:12.06 --> 00:02:15.06

right here, which is the same as roll.



52

00:02:15.06 --> 00:02:17.09

So if I drag one of these blue edges,



53

00:02:17.09 --> 00:02:21.00

I'm rolling my plane or my notes here,



54

00:02:21.00 --> 00:02:22.08

in a clockwise direction.



55

00:02:22.08 --> 00:02:27.01

Or, I could roll them in a

counter-clockwise direction.



56

00:02:27.01 --> 00:02:29.04

Alright now, through trial

and error, I've figured out



57

00:02:29.04 --> 00:02:32.02

a few specific values and so

I'm just going to dial them in.



58

00:02:32.02 --> 00:02:36.06

I want the X-value to be

-20, then I'll tab down



59

00:02:36.06 --> 00:02:40.03

to the Y-value, and

raise it to -25 degrees.



60

00:02:40.03 --> 00:02:45.01

And then I'll set that

Z-value to 5 degrees like so.



61

00:02:45.01 --> 00:02:48.01

I want the Perspective to be 70 degrees,



62

00:02:48.01 --> 00:02:52.08

and I'm going to take the

Extrude Depth up to 60 points.



63

00:02:52.08 --> 00:02:56.02

And so notice, by the way, that

you could set that extrusion



64

00:02:56.02 --> 00:02:59.02

to anything you like, and

so a higher value is going



65

00:02:59.02 --> 00:03:02.05

to give you bigger sides,

a lower value is going



66

00:03:02.05 --> 00:03:04.06

to get you smaller ones.



67

00:03:04.06 --> 00:03:06.03

Which is why I came up



68

00:03:06.03 --> 00:03:09.01

with something in between,

60 points once again.



69

00:03:09.01 --> 00:03:11.06

After which point, I'll

go ahead and click OK



70

00:03:11.06 --> 00:03:14.01

to accept that change.



71

00:03:14.01 --> 00:03:15.03

Now note that one



72

00:03:15.03 --> 00:03:18.01

of the big limitations

with 3D in Illustrator,



73

00:03:18.01 --> 00:03:20.07

is that every object is separate.



74

00:03:20.07 --> 00:03:23.04

And so you can't really

take one object and use it



75

00:03:23.04 --> 00:03:25.07

to cast a shadow onto another one.



76

00:03:25.07 --> 00:03:28.04

And so if you're looking to

give your notes a shadow,



77

00:03:28.04 --> 00:03:31.07

then the best way to work is

to add a drop shadow effect,



78

00:03:31.07 --> 00:03:35.05

by going up to the Effect

menu, choosing Stylize,



79

00:03:35.05 --> 00:03:37.04

and then choosing Drop Shadow.



80

00:03:37.04 --> 00:03:39.07

Once again, if you loaded

my D-keys, then you've got



81

00:03:39.07 --> 00:03:42.07

a keyboard shortcut of

Control-Alt-D here on the PC,



82

00:03:42.07 --> 00:03:45.03

or Command-Option-D on the Mac.



83

00:03:45.03 --> 00:03:47.01

And here are the values I came up with,



84

00:03:47.01 --> 00:03:49.08

I set the Color to black,

the Mode is Multiply,



85

00:03:49.08 --> 00:03:51.04

the Opacity is 77%.



86

00:03:51.04 --> 00:03:53.08

I have an X Offset of -12,



87

00:03:53.08 --> 00:03:56.03

which, if I turn on the Preview check box,



88

00:03:56.03 --> 00:03:58.07

you can see that that sends

the shadow to the left.



89

00:03:58.07 --> 00:04:01.05

I've got a Y offset of

4 points, so it's moving



90

00:04:01.05 --> 00:04:04.09

slightly downward, and

I've set the Blur to 8.



91

00:04:04.09 --> 00:04:08.09

At which point, I'll click

OK to accept that change.



92

00:04:08.09 --> 00:04:12.01

And so that's how you

rotate objects in 3D space,



93

00:04:12.01 --> 00:04:15.02

just remember that you're

rotating around either



94

00:04:15.02 --> 00:04:18.02

the X, Y, or Z axis,

even if you don't care



95

00:04:18.02 --> 00:04:22.02

about memorizing those

terms, pitch, yaw, and roll.



96

00:04:22.02 --> 00:04:24.08

Now what we have so far

is looking a little flat,



97

00:04:24.08 --> 00:04:27.01

which is why I'm going

to show you how to light



98

00:04:27.01 --> 00:04:30.05

and shade your object

in the very next movie.
