What 3D objects have you made in Adobe Illustrator?

slowly giving up on graphic design and freelance in general due to my beloved country Algeria :) you can't even get a pc that easily, you're the only motivation left for me out there, so I would like to thank you so much for the great content you deliver! thank you indeed.

Will, you're such a great teacher and brilliant designer.. Thanks for sharing your skill, it's obviously coming from a place of love.. We appreciate you

Wow. Gonna give that a try. That would have taken me an hour to do in Lightwave, back in the day.

I'm a Graphic designer from Zambia, lol. I stumbled upon one of your videos where you gave us amazing design tips in under ten minutes! I was so inspired and absolutely loved it. I'm subscribed.

I just realized why I wasn't getting good results. Instead of compound path, I've been putting objects in a group 0:36

Best Feature added for Adobe Company is 3D Effect ❤

This saved me from having to learn blender to make some 3d models to print. Thank you.

This is so simple yet so incredible! Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks!

Your shadows have these realistic reflective parts to it. I followed the tutorial but my 3D shapes seem to miss that shiny reflective shadow part behind the light source.

This is like when they added IIllustrator functionality into Photoshop. Now its Substance and Dimension functions in Illustrator. It wont be long before we just get one piece of software that will do everything!

I always use the classic version as that is what I have been used to and I have shied away from the newer version. This vid has helped explained the options. I will have to give it a go.

Haven't used this yet, thanks for this tutorial!

[mrs.quills]

Oh dang, super excited to try this out with some of my logo work. Didn’t even know it could do this! Thank you!!

[aiperimakisheva]

wow! just did this. thank u for easy explanation !

The outcome is raster and not vector, if I am not mistaken.

Why this feature can't use GPU? My CPU always get 85c when trying to render my projects.

Will you do commissions for a 3d render alum artwork cover?

[annasmuslimin]

actually, it's not 100% vector, it's a vector when it's saved in ai format and opened on the newest adobe illustration version. I tried to save it as eps, but it will change to raster and I can't change the color. I think this 3d effect will play in the mesh tool, but it's not

If I do this on my old pc I guess it explodes in my face
