‘3D Box’ AutoShape for Fireworks Sep 27. 042
Senocular (Trevor McCauley) has been busy again and this weekend posted another Fireworks MX 2004 AutoShape to his site.
The 3D Box AutoShape allows you to create an editable 3D box where all verticies are editable and can be moved anywhere you want within the 3D space.
An option is given to change perspective. If the focal length (controlling perspective) is set to the max of 1000, all perspective is ignored and you get an isometric representation.
