Adjusting 3D space

You can add a 3D fog effect to create a sense of depth, as well as correct warping by straightening materials.

Fog

You can add depth to a 3D space with the Fog settings when a 3D object or layer is selected.When Fog is applied, objects further from the camera appear more obscured, creating a sense of depth.

To add fog to a 3D layer, tap Enable fog in the Sub Tool Detail palette > Fog category.

You can set the Fog type to Distance fog or Depth fog. Distance fog is a spherical fog that becomes thicker relative to the distance from the camera.Depth fog is a flat fog that is becomes thicker relative to the distance from the screen.The default setting is Distance fog.

You can adjust the fog’s appearance with the Start position and Depth settings.Start position applies fog at a specified distance from the camera.Depth specifies the thickest part of the fog in terms of distance from Start position.

You can also change the color of the fog using the Color setting, and change the opacity with the Opacity setting.This is useful when you want to blend 3D materials with the color of the background.

For example, the image below shows an image with a sunset in the background.Changing the fog color to orange helps the 3D material blend in.

Straighten

You can correct distorted 3D objects with the Sub Tool Detail palette > Lens category > Straighten setting.While a 3D object is selected, tap Straighten to make the vertical lines perpendicular to the ground and make the 3D layer appear like two-point perspective.

You can revert the effect by tapping Reset adjustment.
