Basic Tutorial

Step Five: Coordinating Movement

All we have left now is getting the COOL to move toward us and adding a spinning green coffee cup, and then you will be a Ulead COOL 3D master*.

First, let's make that COOL move.

  • Select COOL from the Select an Object field.
  • Select the Move Object tool from the Standard Toolbar
  • Click the right mouse and push up until COOL is very small and behind the 3D.
  • Without letting up on the right mouse, pull the mouse down until COOL comes at you and is in front of 3D.
  • Press the Play button to preview.

NOTE: You can play with it a little here to see what it does. If you don't like the steps you take you can always undo them.

It should look like this:

Let's insert that crazy green coffee cup now.

  • Go to your Easy Palette and select Object.
  • Select the Coffee icon from the gallery. You'll know you have the right one, if it says coffee in the Select an Object field.
  • Go to Color & Lighting and make it green (You know how to do this.)
  • Set the Bevel Mode and all of the Bevel settings the same as COOL and 3D. (You know how to do this, too.)
  • Select the Move Object tool and move the cup backward so that it is lined up with COOL.
  • At key frame 1 (on the timeline Control), insert the coffee cup.
  • On the timeline Control, move the Control Slider to the last key frame.

Add/Subtract Key Frame

  • Click the Add Key Frame button to add a key frame.
  • On the Standard Toolbar, click the Rotate Object button.
  • Click the left mouse and move it straight up until the coffee cup completes one revolution.

Let's see what happened:

See, that wasn't so bad. You can also make it dance and sing**, but you're on your own for that.


*Not a master, but not a total rookie.

**It can't sing.
