—Transform effect for multiple transformations (move, scale) 3:45
—Transform (rotate) to duplicate an object about a fixed radius 6:06
—3D effects, extrude & bevel 9:40
—3D effects, revolve 13:40
—3D effects, rotate 19:03
—Other effects, drop shadow & blur 20:40
—Setting effects resolution using Document & raster settings 22:15
—Saving effects/transformations using Graphic Styles panel 23:44
—Mapping objects onto 3D shapes using symbols 25:43
