Modify the 3D text

You can alter the appearance of the 3D text by changing settings in the Property Inspector's 3D Extruder tab.

Click the Property Inspector's 3D Extruder tab.

Move the Tunnel Depth slider left and right to see the different effects. When you release the mouse button, the depth of the text changes.

When you finish experimenting with the different tunnel depths, move the slider to a value close to 20.

In the Director Light pop-up menu, select Top Center.

Three-dimensional objects in Director can use both ambient and directional lights. By specifying Top Center as the light, you're indicating where on the text it should appear as though a light is shining.

The Title text sprite changes to reflect the settings in the Property Inspector.
