WCTC 3.1.5: Making a Step: 2D In-Scene Elements and Callouts
This video guides on incorporating 2D content into 3D space, adding callouts to objects, and considering visual communication principles in WorkLink Create. The module provides detailed insights into the manipulation and customization of these elements for effective instructional design. The highlights of the training are:
-
Introduction:
- Discussion on expanding beyond the two-dimensional UI to add content and callouts to three-dimensional elements in a scene.
-
Adding 2D Content in 3D Space:
- Explanation of incorporating images and video files as three-dimensional assets, making them manipulatable in the 3D space.
- Use of the Asset Library to select and drag images like the eye protection PNG into the scene.
- Demonstration of manipulation options such as dragging, repositioning, and resizing in the 3D space.
-
Callouts:
- Introduction to callouts as a property of selected objects in the scene.
- Enabling callouts and manipulating them in the Object Properties menu.
-
Callout Manipulation:
- Visibility toggle for callouts, enabling control over when they are visible.
- Options to change the scale and origin point of the callout for precise positioning.
- Manipulation of the offset to adjust the location of the callout.
- Interface controls for title, background and text color, text alignment, and description.
-
Visual Communication and Customization:
- Use of callouts for visual communication, conveying information to end users.
- Consideration of color elements, stroke options, and transparency for customization.
- Exploration of potential use cases for callouts in connecting visual communication to user understanding.
-
Future Topics and Modules:
- Anticipation of upcoming modules covering visual communication, animation, and related elements.
- Invitation to connect visual communication principles with animation concepts.
