Using Globe In with 3D Warp gives a concave effect by increasing motif size and spacing around a center point. Globe Out gives a convex effect by decreasing motif size and spacing. You can apply the effect to an entire object, or to a specified part of the fill.

  • Adjust the control points to:
  • Change frame height
  • Change frame width
  • Reposition frame.

TIP

You can generate layers of colored motifs by duplicating an object and selecting a different color. For example, after filling a shape with circles, you can create a second layer, offset it, and apply a different color. You can then apply effects such as Globe Out to the whole motif fill.
