Fw-twist and Fade 3.0 Introduction

With the introduction of FWMX, we found the familiar twist and fade commands under the FWMX commands menu, and this time with the FWMX with the latest version 3.0, the biggest change in this version is to provide a new interactive operating interface, This allows us to more accurately control the results of the graphic changes, another convenient function is to provide a graphical preview of the window, so you can always observe your settings on the impact of the image. It should be noted that this version of the operating interface with the new SWF packaging, using Flash to package the command and interface together, fully embodies the direction of the FWMX.

first, the interface browsing

Main interface: First, let's look at the main operating interface of twist and fade.

The Twist and fade interface is divided into four main parts, each of which has a special mode of operation.

The default option menu appears on the right side of the main screen, and of course, if you want, you can drag the orange handle at the top of the menu to the new location in the interface. The option menu has the following four menus:

Options: This menu controls the final output of several parameters, you can set the different steps between the opacity change value, you can set whether the transformation effect is random, or you can convert the final output effect to the symbol.

Help: This menu contains the basic information to use this command.

Info: This section describes the history of the Order and the summary information about the creator.

Preview: This button opens a closed preview window, and the Live Preview window is open by default.

Main control Surface: This part is where you need to make major adjustments.

This menu not only controls the effect of the final output, but also displays real-time effects in the preview window at any time. Includes four main settings:

Steps	Number of steps between duplicate effects
Spacing	spacing between each step
Rotation	Angle of rotation between each step
Opacity	Opacity of each object

Simply drag the left and right position of the orange triangle of the area to complete the setup, and you can see the effect of the change in the Instant preview window. Note that when you set a larger number of steps, the preview window has a lag time.

The live Preview area allows you to anticipate the final build effect of your settings. Real-time preview area just gives you a basic reference for hitting the final effect, and the final effect of selecting a single object and selecting multiple objects is completely different. And the word-browsing area simply uses a default object as a preview object, rather than using your own object.

In the preview area you can also zoom in and out of the preview, or you can drag objects in the preview area to see the different parts.

Second, additional operation Additional option: Below you will learn more about how different settings parameter drops affect your effect.

The option menu contains three additional selections.

Random effect Random Effect
It is clear that this setting will produce a random transformation effect throughout the transformation process, which is the key to creating a gorgeous effect.

Convert to symbol convert to symbol
This command will turn the final transformation effect into a graphical symbol, so that you can modify it later. And you can import the export in the library.

Check this setting to have a fade effect between each step.

Iii. experiment with twist and fade

Twist and fade is a simple but powerful tool, and the key to using it is to experiment with it and find out the brilliant effects. You can also combine some other vector tools to create special vector graphics and import fwmx to use this command for processing.

Iv. detailed use of parameter settings

Since this version of the change is not much different from the previous version, it is no longer described in detail. The specific parameter setting effect can refer to: http://www.bitgenius.com/tutorial/fw/keap/fw-keap2.htm
