![]() ![]() Here are the settings I used in the example. Now all you have to do is explore the options that Illustrator provides you, and see what suits you best. ![]() Now your 2D Design is rendered by Illustrator in 3D, complete with lighting and shading! You will see this options menu: (immediately click “preview” so you can see your shape change in real-time) With your shape selected, go to the “Effect” menu and select “3D > Extrude and Bevel.” ![]() Now that you have your shape, make sure it is grouped, and select it. Important: You must group the shapes (artwork) BEFORE you apply this effect. This is NOT an image it is 2 vector shapes in Illustrator. I used a square and I put my logo on top of the square so you can see the perspective effects of any artwork or designs you might incorporate into this effect. To begin, create a simple shape on the artboard that you would like to make 3d. It's so simple, I hate myself for not using it a long time ago. You don't need anything more than a flat shape to get started, and it can be changed after it's applied, using the appearance palette. You can easily create realistic 3D objects in Illustrator in seconds using the Effect menu. If this isn't new to you, spare me the “I already knew that crap.” It's new to me, and I think it's something every Illustrator should know about, so I'm posting it. I've been using Illustrator almost every day for years, but I never took advantage of this feature until a few months ago. I'm not sure if this is a widely used Illustrator feature or not. ![]()
