Animating 3d motion
Finally, you’ll add a title and animate it in 3D space. Animating in 3D presents
the added complication of a third (z) axis. When you choose the 3D Rotation or
3D Translation tool, you need to be aware of the Global Transform option at the
bottom of the Tools panel. The Global Transform option toggles between a global
option (button depressed) and a local option (button raised). Moving an object
with the global option on makes the transformations relative to the global coordi-
nate system, whereas moving an object with the local option on makes the transfor-
mations relative to itself.
