Hey they're in this video we're going to do some introduction to 3-D We'll look at the re-evolve along
the top left there and a couple of extrude and the 3-D rotate right.
It's going in that now and Adobe Illustrator.
All right.
So let's get started.
Let's look at the various 3-D options we've got.
I'm going to start with type as the first thing we want to make 3D right.
And I'm going to use a little exegete to make it super big.
I'm using a phone called Rocket phone.
It's a free to download.
It's actually in your exercise files if you want it you don't have to outline it but to get the kind
of full 3D effect it's best not to use black gay shadows and highlights to start up here.
So pick any color.
OK.
And what I'm going to do now that's got to affect go to 3-D.
And we're going to start with extruded Bayville and it's another way to preview on and that's how to
kind of like extrude a little doesn't have to be obviously type it can be any shape as long as it's
picked up.
Now we're going to go through every setting in here.
But the basics are extruding is probably one of the big ones that you want.
OK so how far and back it goes then the easiest way to move this in 3-D space is not to grab the whole
thing gets a bit kind of like crazy.
And the trick is to just grab these ages.
So this age here you can see just start doing the rotation.
The x y and z.
I find this is the kind of easiest way for new people to work out how to do in 3D.
Rotation is anywhere on the outside.
OK so just click in here.
Get it where you want it's
awesome what you might not see is you might be on fewer options or click on more options.
And this is where the light is hitting this particular object.
You might decide to shine the light from a different way and just drag the star around here.
You can play around the settings.
I'm going to go through all the surface and ambient lighting.
OK.
Yeah.
This is more just an introduction will look at some more advanced stuff in the next video go.
I'm going to turn down my extra depth to something a little bit lower.
When I click OK now a couple of things is to edit this again once it's done because it's all tight right.
I can double click on it the top 2 and call this one x d k and click out.
So we kind of working in that mode.
Wants to be 3-D but also flat.
And the easiest way to do it is to go to outlie mode so you can go to command Y where are you going
to preview or outline mode GZA does that work this way.
All right so to get into it the 3D is with it's selected you need to find your appearance panel.
Now here in this new version of Illustrator you can just click on it there.
It opens back up to preview back on.
And you can make your adjustments.
And if you're an older version of Illustrator you might have to get a window and find a parents do the
same thing in them.
What are the drawbacks of 3D in Illustrator is that if you want a separate thing.
OK.
And they don't.
You can't like put everything into the same ific So does this have on this guy.
They're not connected in the same 3-D space now.
OK if I go into this guy and change him and there's no I've kind of like having different groups and
directing together casting shadows.
But for kind of simple Victis stuff it's kind of cool.
I'm going to make a duplicate of this.
Send it to the back.
Change the color for no reason.
Stumptown to make it look go and let's have a quick look at the other two options for three day and
the next one is.
OK so I'm going to draw something and use the tool and draw.
What am I going to draw.
I'm going to draw something like that.
It's got to fill.
OK.
So basically what you want is you want to stroke and no fill.
So I've got a stroke of Blue K and I want no fill.
The stroke doesn't really matter.
It can be black but it looks better with a colored colored stroke.
And then we're going to revolve it.
OK so we're going to go up to effect.
We're going to go to 3-D.
We're going to go to Ruth Mitchell previously and on and it's going to kind of do the opposite of what
I wanted to buy our depends on which side you draw.
So you're drawing kind of like a cut away of the object you want to draw.
I'm going to switch from left to right edge and that was my terrible they want to call it.
I don't know what it is.
When I was prepping for this video I tried to draw Weinglass but every time it came or.
If you had the time you'd spend some time with the curvature to the pintu you could draw something quite
nice.
So that is the re-evolved too.
OK.
And one of the nice things about the revolt any extra tool is and the is two things in here.
The offset.
And you can break it.
So how far kind of a pot they are in the middle.
OK so that's a different thing for this one so that kind of separates them out to make them why don't.
The other thing you can do is the re-evolve angle.
OK so in here I can listen it.
So it's kind of like a slice cut away.
Let's do that one and then a revolved around so you can kind of see I've got a chunk missing and one
of the other things I like where the revolve is the surface is plastic saying if you can't see it k
and click on more options and down here we want to get a wireframe I like it's just kind of a cool effect.
You know it just looks kind of.
I use that kind of visual like maybe a big splash graphic or on the back.
And I'm going to turn it back to chain and click OK.
Let's look at the last of the fellows again command y.
Outline can just kind of shrink this down and maybe move it across.
It's still trying to do the 3D thing so it might freak out like it's running a little bit slower but
it makes it easier to maneuver.
So the next thing we're going to look at is type iconic type in them and their last option is not very
exciting but we'll go through them all.
OK.
It does like extrude.
OK.
Except there's no depth to it.
It's called rotate and you might find a good use of this in turn preview on.
You can see the same kind of thing but there's no there's no extruding.
OK so yeah it's kind of getting a bit of flip depth.
Now the reason I've run through this one a little fast is that it's just a couple of better options
for you to use.
Like we love illustrator.
That's why we're here.
But there just some things that just look you know I just Pervis bill for three and there's two of them.
Adobe has one and a half.
Let's look at the first one called dimension.
So this is dimension open.
It's pretty like what it's for is it's for doing stills in 3D which could be perfect for us dragging
out some pre-made stuff.
Here is a coffee cup cake and remember that Fox we made earlier.
OK just the the library I'm just going to drag it and attach it to it.
It's really quick and easy.
This program I love it and I can move it around wraps around the shape.
It's all very exciting.
It's probably I'm not going to go through a whole course on dimension now I'm just giving you kind of
a teaser to say go off and do a course I don't have one yet.
I plan to do one really soon so check that out.
And yeah I mean mention one of the one of the coolest things about this is watch this.
You can drag and backgrounds like your own background or that's what it's trying to map the Hicks on
the ground here to the floor here.
And it says would you like to match the image you say you please and this coffee cup will hopefully
now match the perspective of the table.
Pretty awesome huh.
OK so am I going to scale this one down.
Bring it forward.
Go back.
You can see what's really cool about it is try to mimic the lighting hasn't quite got a perfect you
can it justice.
OK.
But it tries to mimic the image where the lighting is and how it positions in the world because that's
pretty convincing right.
Like it's it looks like it's part of the same kind of world as the same as the Vai's.
I say base part and come on.
So that's the super quick and dirty version of dimension above.
You can just see how much nicer it is you can start with some of these pre-made objects you can buy
them from the start the Adobe site and then there's lighting templates and backgrounds you can do graphics
pretty cool.
Now again the biggest drawback to this one is it's not it's not meant to be animated.
OK so it's just for stills.
OK so where animation comes in and maybe more motion graphics is that's why it's kind of point five
it's not really Adobe's product.
It's from a company called Mxs on it's called Cinema for.
Now it's separate from your creative cloud license kind of there's a sneaky trick you can do.
Like if you want to get into motion graphics and you want to start getting into 3D motion graphics which
I love can't go to Sim 40 it's a great product.
And what you can do is you can open up a light version inside after effects.
So whatever way they've decided to license the product from Exxon and you can just open it right you
can find it on your machine.
Fair enough.
It's called And before the light but you can't open it just won't open.
So what you do is how open it is you open up after effects or just a blank document and then go to file
new and open it here.
OK it's not the full version not the full studio version but it's done a lot of what you need.
OK most of it especially if you open it up and from here as long as after fix stays open some 40 opens.
Now it's obviously an Adobe product.
It looks completely different but if you do want to get into 3D but more excites you this is the iPhone
this is such a good transition for somebody who's doing kind of more still graphic design and wants
to start animating it.
It's the learning curve here is high enough but nothing compared to something like Michael thirty's
to the max or blend.
OK this one here might vises.
Yeah it's a great start.
And again I plan to do a course on this.
I don't have it yet.
But what's really cool about it is and you can animator's K to just make sure my play heads back here
0 in a set of keyframe they're further along.
After maybe a second 60 seconds on the slide a little hint and another keyframe and I pull it back hit
play.
The thing about it is you can see it's got nice easing already.
I know it's pretty simple animation but it's super quick and easy to learn.
I can throw flora in.
I'm going to stop now.
I'm going to stop in a second.
I really want to try and I'm not trying to sell.
And before the I guess I'm just kind of like saying it's a lot easier like to try to learn this one
than say something like you know Maya is amazing and way better than 40.
But if you're just looking for motion graphics it doesn't have to be that hard core trying to think
of what the shapes Nuki will do.
All right.
Fire into this one command.
You can see it's kind of ugly 3-D thing but at least it's animated.
And that's the kind of the real big difference between say something like dimension and say something
like cinema 4D dimensions.
All about premade stuff and said before these all making stuff from scratch.
The Rassam models and stuff you can use but yeah.
Yeah that's my introduction to 3-D using illustrator.
And yeah let's get on to doing some more kind of practical 3D stuff some semi flat design.
Yeah.
Next video will be a little bit more exciting or at least a finished product.
All right.
Jump into it now.
