3D Text in Illustrator

3D text In Illustrator

Introduction to 3D Text in Illustrator

3D Text in Adobe Illustrator is one most significant component of the application. Two unique procedures can make the 3D content – the main strategy includes the use of 3D Tools. At the same time, in the second system, we attempt to make 3D content without utilizing the 3D tools; Illustrator’s effects will quickly reproduce a 3D appearance on your content. You can also include gradients to the drop shadows to create light focuses that are, for the most part, found in 3D shapes, and Illustrator doesn’t require a 3D renderer to see the 3D content picture.
