Hello everyone, welcome back to continue to come with me to experience the FWMX2004 of the shapes of the new experience with us!
In the last section, we studied in detail the tool group on the toolbox of the use of the method, operation skills, this section we will look at the shapes floating panel to bring us a new feeling!
First, let's take a look at what's new in the shapes floating panels:
You can see that in the Shapes panel there are currently 9 shapes groups: Clock (Clocks), Cog (gear), cube (cube), Cylinder (cylinder), frame (frame), Perspective (Perspective), Tabs (tab), Talking (talk Box), tube (pipe). Next we take a look at the use of each shape group and techniques.
Tip: Why do we have the shapes panel in the 9 Shape objects used by the name is "shape Group", you can drag from the shapes panel any Shape object to the editing area, and then execute the menu command "modify--ungroup (shortcut key for ctrl+shift+g)", Dissolve the group relationship, you will find that these shape objects are formed by group mode! So here we call it "shape group".
Tip 2: Regarding the operation skill of the shape group, we will introduce the way in the following introduction immediately, need to note that, all method skill is carried on without breaking up the group relation premise!
1, Clock (clock) group
When you drag a clock group of shapes directly onto the edit area, a clock pattern appears, as shown in the following illustration. The adjustment of the clock is very interesting, you can see, with the mouse click the clock will appear after four adjustment control points, the following we will take a look at each adjustment control point of the role of:
A, 1th point: Click the mouse, will appear a background balloon: "Click to change tick marks (clicking changing the Dial)", if you click the mouse, you will change the dial timescale display status, a total of 4 display status: Do not display the timescale Displays only the time scale of the 90-degree interval with a starting point of 0, a total of 4 ticks, a timescale of 45-degree intervals with a 0-point starting point, a total of 12 ticks, or 12-hour display, and 60 ticks, which is the display of 60 seconds. You can choose the appropriate display mode according to your own needs.
B, 2nd point: Select the point, will appear background box: "Hour (Hours)", with the mouse to drag the control point, you can adjust the position of the clock hour! What time is it? This can be achieved by adjusting the point.
C, 4th point: Select the point, will appear background box: "Minute (minutes)", with the mouse to drag the control point, you can adjust the position of the minute hand to stay.
D, 3rd point: The mouse moved to the top of the point will appear a background balloon: "Click to set Times", click the point, will pop up a JavaScript settings box, as shown in the following figure:
dialog box to our prompt is very clear, directly in the text box to enter a new time, and then click the OK button to see the clock hand, the minute hand is according to the time you entered to show the arrangement ah? This function is very interesting, mm company now in the open research and development of products can be said to be painstaking ah! , through the graphics to and JS Hook, is really a great idea! Admire Admire!
Note: If the value of the input is out of the normal time range (both more than 24:60 or both are less than 0) the display of the clock is messy, oh, it is estimated that no one can love the tricky person may have this hobby ~ ~
Time Setup box should be very necessary, because we directly through the mouse to adjust the number 2nd, 4th control points, is not accurate to set the time, and the appearance of the set box just make up for this.
Regret: The shape of the clock can only use the color of MM company to us this way, if we want to break up, change other colors or effect effect, again group can not use the original adjustment control point, remember!
However, we still have other methods to adjust the color of the clock's fill, edge effect, and so on, and still can use the JS effect, as shown in the following figure:
How to achieve it? We must all think of it. Yes, using the Subselection Tool (Super Selection Tool) in the upper right-hand corner of the toolbox, you can make a separate adjustment to the various parts of the clock, in which I have changed the edge color of the clock and added a shadow effect, replacing the color of the dial part And the use of FWMX2004 add noise (add noise) filter, hehe, the specific adjustment everyone test it! 2. Cog (gear) group
In order to achieve a gear effect, but also the joint path, and the path of the object hole, oh, in short, is very troublesome, now we do not need so much trouble, because we have COG (gear) group tools, just want to use the mouse to drag it to the editing area can be, the rest of the work is done with the mouse to adjust it! Is it simple? OK, let's take a look at the results of the Gear group tools:
The meaning of each control point is relatively simple, and in the toolbox we described in the previous section of the tool, star drawing tools, the operation of the positive polygon drawing tools are similar, here we will only do a brief introduction: Number 1th is used to adjust the number of gears, with the mouse to drag up the number of gears, Drag down to reduce the number of gears, the minimum number of gears is 4; point 2nd, number 3rd is used to adjust the size of the center hole space of the gear, click 2nd point to achieve the effect of the closed gear, that is, without the middle of the hole, adjust the 3rd point can realize the size of the hole space adjustment; 4th points are used to adjust the height of the gears, To the external direction of the gear is to increase the gear height, drag inward is to reduce the gear height; The number 5th point is used to adjust the shape of the gear, drag outward is to increase the length of the gear, drag inward is to reduce the length of the gear, 6th Point and 5th Point of the function is actually quite, it can be said that two adjustment point of the principle is exactly the opposite, Drag to see if this is the case, the 7th points and 4th points of the function is the opposite, you can experiment to feel.
Through the adjustment of each point, we will find that the original Gear shape group through a series of adjustments, unexpectedly will form a star shape, as shown in the following figure:
Using only so many shapes group, we have already felt the MM company in this new Shapes Shape Group series of various innovations, really let me wait for the loyal fans of the FW happy! Do not be happy, then see, there is nothing to make us happy place it!
3, Cube (cube) group
Drawing a cube, simple, looks easy, but the actual operation, it may be more laborious, because you have to take care of the shape of the cube is true, the color perspective is realistic, the length of each edge segment is reasonable, and so on ... But now what we're going to do is very, very simple, just drag the Cube shape group from the Shapes panel to the edit area! It is so simple, and then drag three to adjust the control point, or adjust the size of the entire cube can be the perspective of the cube, shape, and so make random changes in the adjustment, the specific adjustment method please test, here no longer repeat.
4, Cylinder (cylinder) group
Above the opposite side of the adjustment method is also applicable to the cylinder Shape object adjustment, also not much to say!
This thought, the cylinder two section of the central control point can be to the center of the ring can do the same closed, open conversion, but the actual operation is found not, which is why there are Tube shape group behind the reason for it!
Tip: Cube and cylinder group color adjustment can be performed menu command "modify--ungroup (shortcut key for ctrl+shift+g)" To break the group command to break up the various groups of objects, and then the adjustment of the color can even use a variety of effects and so on.
5, Frame (frame) group
The use of this shape group is self-evident, and you can create a frame object directly. However, this Commands menu command has been added to the Fw4, and the menu position is "Commands--creative--add picture Frame". And in the FWMX to add frame command for further enhanced configuration, add more frame effects, in the FWMX2004 still retain these frame effects.
In the shape group still appear frame shape group tools, mm company should be a considerate user set it! Frame settings Specific adjustments such as color, fill effect, effect effect, etc., can be directly through the property panel to carry out, the operation is relatively simple, here do not repeat it!
6, Perspective (Perspective) Group
It should be said that the increase of the perspective shape tool for the three-dimensional effect of the FW production enhancement is very important, to give us the feeling that the FW's tentacles seem to have begun to touch the direction of three d. For the graphical effects that are generated by using the perspective tool, look at the following illustration:
As for the graphical adjustment after the creation of the perspective shape tool, we can look at the chart in turn:
A, 1th points, 2nd points of the adjustment is the same, respectively, click the 1th point or 2nd points can be hidden respectively horizontal or vertical graphics objects. If you hold down the 1th adjustment point or 2nd adjustment point for the drag operation, you can respectively horizontal or vertical alignment of the linear combination of objects to adjust the density, please test!
B, 3rd point: The following to introduce to the 5th point (vanishing Point) as the axis, by adjusting the 3rd control point can be vertical direction of the group to adjust the horizontal direction.
C, 4th point: Mouse move past will appear prompt box: "Drag to adjust Grid", it is obvious that by adjusting this control point, you can make a general adjustment to the entire Perspective table shape, you can adjust the size, density, distance and so on.
D, 5th point: By adjusting the point, you can adjust the perspective of the vanishing point of the position, is far is near, is high is low, you see it done!
Similarly, perspective graphics can be directly using the Super selection tool to fine-tune the various parts of the graphic, or you can break the graphics group before making further modifications.
7. Tabs (tab) group
It should be said that the Tabs Shape Group tool is one of the most creative tool groups. Because only need to click the mouse, you can achieve the increase in the table reduction, it is really very cool things, below we use the legend to specifically look at the detailed operation of the tab shape Group:
When you drag the Tabs shape tool from the shapes panel to the editing area, the default three crystal effect buttons appear, and what happens next? Don't worry, we'll look at the action on the map above:
A, 1th point: Click the adjustment point will reduce a crystal button, the background balloon that appears after you move from the mouse to the control point: Delete tab (delete table) also shows that the result of clicking on the control point, and the way to reduce the table, is to use the Super selection tool to select the form you want to delete. However, it is important to note that it is necessary to delete the table in order (starting from the rightmost), if you delete any form from the middle, the next use will be possible to error! By clicking the number 1th control point, you can have at least one form unit left, which is the limit, if you don't want to, just delete it! Haha, this sentence is nonsense, do not hit me Kazakhstan ~ ~ ~ ~:) But believe there is a simple way, no one will roamed!
B, point 2nd: The opposite of number 1th. Mouse move to this point will appear a background balloon: "Add tab", of course, click the control point to achieve the increase in the tab unit, each click can add a table unit, the next action is that you have the flexibility to wave your mouse to delete your table.
C, 3, 4, the role of 5th point is the same, the horizontal movement of any one control point will appear "hue;xxx" such as the value of the hint, and the color of the Crystal button will also change the appearance of the corresponding changes, only need to move the mouse button to achieve the color adjustment, feeling really is very comfortable, It's really weird. mm How these designers find these inspirations!
Whether you are dissolving the group or using the Super selection tool, we can easily work out how these beautiful crystal buttons are made, select any of the crystal buttons with the Super selection tool, and see the effects (effect) option of the Properties panel, Ha, At a glance, very exaggerated ah, such a we seem to be a complex effect, mm incredibly only used so a few effects on the realization, really is worth our good study Ah!
8, Talking (talk Box) group
The appearance of this shape also has a certain necessity, because we originally like to achieve the effect of this talk box or need joint path operation, or need to use the flexible path pen, but now simple, only need to click the mouse! The Concrete talk Box shape operation adjustment is very simple, here will not do the introduction.
9. Tube (pipe) group
What can you do with a pipe shape tool? Cement pipe? A telegraph pole?? Oh, this needs everyone's creativity. Pipe shape Group After drawing in the editing area, there will be 5 control points (as shown in the following figure), specific adjustments to control points we refer to the previous ring, the shape of the cylinder concrete operation method to carry out the specific adjustment of the pipe shape.
It is a bit regrettable that the front part of the pipe cannot be resized unless it is adjusted to the shape of the whole tube. For the back-end part of the adjustment is very flexible, we practice it!
Well, RR for such a long time, do not know if you have been annoyed, if you can see my words, I believe you have not been very annoying, hehe ~: And so what, quickly open your FWMX2004, enjoy her to bring us the endless enjoyment of joy!
