Rotation Parameters
X Rotation
The X Rotation parameter rotates the selected Graphic Object around the X axis with 16-bit
precision. You can index the rotation or set a continuous rotation creating a vertical flip at
variable speeds.
This parameter lets you view an
object from a different angle by turning the object. You can
also view an object from a different angle by changing the viewpoint in space for the composite
image, (see
Global Viewpoint Mode on page 1
32).
Default DMX Value: 32768 (50%) = No X Rotation
Tip: Using this parameter you can tur
n one object through another.
