NEW: New 3D and Materials in Illustrator

In this video learn how to create 3D content in Illustrator as well as add lighting and even materials to the created 3D objects. Learn how to adjust perspective, depth, bevel, extrusion, and other 3D properties. Learn how to add lighting to also cast shadows the way you want. Also learn how to apply the many materials that can be created in Adobe Substance 3D to these same models. Follow me on social media for more!

I have been playing with both 3D classic I and the 3-D material panel I still like the map art in the 3-D classic because you can control your material versus the new way where you can control on canvas I think in the future we should have an option of both of. Thanks for the great video 🙏

Lovely..absolutely lovely! Love you Adobe!!

Hi! Paul, Thank you very much. All the best…

I wish you could use the materials made in Capture for this. Also wish the final product with materials was vector.

Excellent addition to Adobe Illustrator and thank you Paul for tips on this wonderful clip.

Really happy to see the new 3d updates !

Super! Would love to know if we can change colors of textures? Is there a way to edit textures applied to 3D objects?

My materials panel/window doesn't seem to have any of the default materials...? How can I add/enable them?

[jackhancock]

If I have an illustrator design I just want to add material properties and texture to can I do that? Example, I have designed a vinyl sticker and want to add a gloss finish to it to simulate a mock up. Can I just make my image shiny? Or is it all animal prints and wood floors?

This is a great tutorial! Thanks for the training. I hoping you can help me solve a problem. The problem I keep running into is Illustrator is not giving me options to change the color on my material. When you apply the blue marble paint material it give you 4 paint colors you can change. I apply the same material but it doesn't give me any color options. Do you know what this might be?

In 3D revolution, where do yo control mapping of the symbol ?, ion order to manage the size and position of the label...

[endritternava]

Can you help me about this 3d and materials, i have Illustrator 2021 but i dont have 3d and materials option, can you help me about it

[daisyforpresident]

does a good transparent glass material exist for the update?

[justinwalls]

Great video! Question though, in the past you could expand appearance to make the shadows a solid shape. Is there a way to do this now? It seems to rasterize the element/shadow now.

[ChristopherDillman]

What version of Illustrator is this available? I don't see this option in Illustrator v25.4.8.

[RogMorton]

Paul, thanks for this. Is there a way to taper the graphic away from the viewer. I've created the cylinder but want it to taper away.

[JakeSmith-vjpy]

Is this not available on creative cloud? My version is all the way updated but "3D and Materials" does not show on my drop down under "Effects"...

[Sleaves]

Doesn't seem like I can expand these after expanding the appearance for further editing. Unless I'm missing something.

[aluisiofsjr]

How I add my own texture that I did on Illustrator on a 3d object surface?

[aandjmom]

Is there a way to have a different extrusion color? I was in the Photoshop and of course After Effects.
