class notes 3/3

a couple notes from today:

eraser tool divides a shape into individual shapes/paths, not erasing pixels like photoshop

Effects:

3D-

-extrude and bevel is where we created 3D objects and in the "map symbol" option allows us to put symbols on the 3D shapes

-revolve-spins shape in space (360 degrees!)

-rotate-moves the object and allows us to see it in perspective

Warp- these objects are similar to photoshop warp effects

SVG Filters- filters and effects to apply to your shapes! very nice for things like hair, shadows, etc

Photoshop Effects live here as well

To create a symbol out of an object:

select your object, then go to your "symbols" tab, next to the trash can icon is an option to "create new symbol" (make sure you set it as a graphic!)

Rotate Tool (R)

Scale tool (S)-not only resizes but you can flip the object!

Warp Tool (Shift +R) is nice for organically moving the edges of the shape

HW: Just keep working on your projects!
