## In this lesson

### Something to look through (0:08)

Here's our scene. Colour, drifting slowly behind a single word. Glass shows what's behind it, so this is where it starts.

### A pill (0:19)

Press zero, then Shift-Z, and drag a box across the word. Now drag a corner in, all the way, for a pill.

### Make it glass (0:27)

It already wears a material. Down the rail, step it along, past Chroma, Aurora and Chrome. And now, Glass.

### Clear, bent and frosted (0:37)

Look closely. In the middle, it's perfectly clear. At the rim, it bends the scene inward and splits the light into colour. And over the letters, it frosts.

### Let it glide (0:49)

Glass bends whatever passes under it, so let's move it. Key its position with P. At the end, press I, for a key in the same place, so it loops. At two seconds, drag it left. At four, drag it right.

### A press (1:08)

And one more thing. Glass can be pressed. Click the marker beside Press, for a key at nothing. A second later, type seventy. And at the end, nothing again.

### Liquid glass (1:19)

Press zero, then space. It glides across the word, bending every letter it passes, and gives when it's pressed.
