Molds Overview

You can take any object or set of objects and place them inside a mold object. you can then change the shape of the mold object which distorts the enclosed objects. There are two distinct types of mold. Perspective molds which have four straight sides and envelope molds which have four sides which can be curved. For more details, see Applying perspective molds.

Perspective Molds

Perspective molds are ideal for creating banners and three dimensional effects.

Envelope Molds

With Envelope molds you can distort and warp a shape using the four corners of the mold shape. you can also bend and warp the edges of the mold shape to distort the contents even more.

Note:

You cannot mold bevels, contours or shadows independently of the objects to which they are applied. Instead, select the object and mold that; any bevel, contour, or shadow then adjusts to the molded shape.
