» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
The other variables
To this we have to add three extra variables that define the general way the object appears.
First is the eyez, the z coordinate of the point of view. It should be negative. The further it is from the object, the less perspective there
will be. In my example I set it to -500, my closest point being at -99. It's a pretty good value.
Second is the maxzoom. This value is the z position of the view plane when the zoom is 100 percent.
Be careful so that this value always is bigger than the eyez but smaller than the minimum possible z coordinate
for any of your points after a rotation. For example when I rotate my point at z=-99, it will get closer to z=-140, so my
maxzoom has to be lower than say 150.
Third is the initial value of the zoom, set between 5 percent and 100. the variable is called zoom.
The cube
These are all the variables you need to set. Now I'm going to give you the variables corresponding to a cube.
Open the first key-frame of the actions layer. Then set this:
Set Variable: "totalpoints" = "8"
Set Variable: "points" = "099,099R099,099,099R-99,099,-99R 099,099,-99R-99,-99,099R099,-99,099R-99,-99,-99R099,-99,-99R-99"
Set Variable: "totallines" = "12"
Set Variable: "lines" = "0102R0103R0105R0804R0806R0807R0506R 0507R0307R0304R0206R0204"
Set Variable: "eyez" = "-500"
Set Variable: "maxzoom" = "-200"
Set Variable: "zoom" = "75"
Now your model is set up and we can start building the engine.
