How to Create a 3D Text Art Effect in Adobe Illustrator

For starters, you will learn how to create a simple background and how to add basic text. Using only your piece of text and a 3D Rotate text effect, you will learn how to create the main compound path. Moving on, you will learn how to use a 3D Extrude & Bevel effect and some masking and blending techniques to add the 3D hole effect for your text. Finally, you will learn how to add some shading and a subtle texture for the final design.

Hi, thanks for the video. I used a different word, however when (at 5:20) I remove the tops of the letters they don't come off like a "lid" and there is empty space behind. How do I fix this? I'm sure I haven't missed any steps out. Thank you.

In Illustrator 2022 'expand appearance' > release clipping mask > ungroup doesn't work. There is still 'image' in appearance panel, not object. What's wrong?
