Channels can be manipulated outside the visible area to create specific effects. For example, a channel
can be rotated in such a way that it appears to roll into view from a point outside the screen and roll
out of view on the other side.
It is also possible to move a channel to a point behind the viewer. For example, you can manipulate a
channel so that it appears to come towards the viewpoint and keeps going until it passes by the viewer.
For this effect, the channel will get larger as it moves towards the viewpoint and then disappear.
You can also create a circular motion effect where the channel sweeps across the screen in a large arc
that appears to continue behind the viewer.
Perspective
Since you are viewing 3D channels on a two-dimensional surface (the screen), it is important to
recognize how depth is perceived. This involves understanding relative size, parallax and viewpoint
perspective.
Relative Size
When working with the Z-Axis, channels that are closer appear larger than channels further away.
Zooming the channel changes the distance between the channel and the viewpoint, but does not
change the size of the channel. Channels that are closer will also appear over top of channels that are
further away.
Relative Size of Two Channels on the Z-Axis
Parallax Effect
If you are manipulating two channels at once, you may notice that the channel closer to you appears to
be moving faster than the one that is further away. This effect is known as motion parallax. It occurs
because channels that are closer to you move farther across your field of view than channels in the
distance.
Parallax Effect
Although both channels are moving at the same rate, the closer channel will reach the end of the field
of view first, giving the impression that it was moving faster.
