Rotating Elements

When using the Card3D node, you can rotate elements around the x and y axes, in addition to the z. This is useful for cheating the perspective.

To rotate elements using the Card3D node

1.   Position the pivot point as necessary by incrementing or decrementing the pivot x, y, and z fields to move the axis in any direction.

Alternatively, you can position the pivot point by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Alt while dragging.

2.   Increment or decrement the rotate x, y, and z fields to spin the element around the pivot point.

Alternatively, you can press Ctrl/Cmd while dragging on any axis on the transformation overlay.
