Objectives Extrude objects Revolve objects Manipulate surface shading and lighting Map artwork to 3D objects © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects Extrude & Bevel effects apply three- dimensional effects to two-dimensional objects. –Two-dimensional objects have two axes: X for width and Y for height –Three-dimensional objects have Z axis added © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects Determine the degree of extrusion by changing the Extrude Depth value in 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box. Use the Caps buttons in 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box to make objects appear solid or hollow. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects Rotating 3D objects The 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box offers controls for rotating extruded objects. Rotate manually by dragging rotation cube. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects When you rotate the cube, values on the X, Y, and Z axes update to reflect the changes made. Enter values in these boxes to rotate object at specific angles. Once you extrude an object, you can view any surface – front, back, left, or right. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects The Bevel menu offers ten predefined bevel shapes you can apply to the edge of an extruded object. You control the width of a bevel edge with the Height slider. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Choose from 1 of 10 bevel shapes

Extrude Objects When Illustrator has difficulty rendering an object with a beveled edge, a warning appears in the 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Extrude Objects Sometimes there is no solution, but your best bet is to reduce the bevel width. Decide how to apply bevel using the Bevel Extent In and Bevel Extent Out buttons in 3D Extrude & Bevel Options dialog box. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Revolve Objects Revolving an object “sweeps” a path in a circular direction around the Y axis. –Surface shading is applied automatically –By default, object revolved around the vertical axis that represents leftmost point –The 3D Revolve Options dialog box offers an option to revolve object from right edge © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Revolve Objects © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Revolving an object around its left edge Revolving an object around its right edge

Revolve Objects A revolution occurs around the vertical axis. –Starting path will depict half of the object you want to revolve Once revolved, an object can be rotated by using the 3D Revolve Options dialog box. –It presents all surfaces of the graphic © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Revolve Objects Apply the Revolve effect to multiple paths simultaneously. –Can be open or closed paths When Revolve effect is applied to multiple paths, each path is revolved around its own axis. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Revolve Objects Revolving grouped objects When grouped, multiple paths are revolved around a single axis. When multiple paths are grouped and revolved, they will also rotate together. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Revolve Objects © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Two grouped paths revolved around a single y-axis. Object before it is revolved. Object after it is revolved.

Revolve Objects © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Four grouped paths after being revolved and rotated

Revolve Objects Increasing the Offset value in the 3D Revolve Options dialog box increases how far from the Y axis the object is revolved. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Enter offset value here

Revolve Objects © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Object revolved with a 90- point offset from its Y-axis Rotated object shows 90-point offset more clearly

Manipulate Surface Shading and Lighting When you apply the Extrude & Bevel effect or Revolve effect, surface shading and lighting is applied automatically but can be manipulated. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Manipulate Surface Shading and Lighting When you revolve an object, four surface shadings are available: –Wireframe –No Shading –Diffuse Shading –Plastic Shading © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Manipulate Surface Shading and Lighting © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Wireframe No Shading Diffuse Shading Plastic Shading

Manipulate Surface Shading and Lighting When you choose Diffuse Shading or Plastic Shading, a number of lighting controls are available. Lighting Intensity controls strength of light on object. Ambient Light determines how object is lit globally. Highlight Intensity controls how intense highlight appears. Highlight Size controls how large highlights appear. Blend Steps controls how smoothly shading appears. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Manipulate Surface Shading and Lighting When Diffuse Shading or Plastic Shading is chosen, you can drag light source to a new location to light an object from a different angle. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Manipulate Surface Shading and Lighting Add additional light sources by clicking New Light button. Apply different light intensity values to individual light sources. Delete a light source by selecting it, then clicking Delete Light button. Move selected light to back button moves light source to back. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Map Artwork to 3D Objects You can map a 2-dimensional object to a 3-dimensional object. For example, a label is a 2-dimensional object that can be wrapped around a 3-dimensional can. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Map Artwork to 3D Objects First convert 2D object to symbol. Select a 3D object. Click Map Art in the 3D Revolve Options dialog box. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Work with a Perspective Grid Use the Perspective Grid feature to draw and create objects in perspective. Three types of grids: –1-point perspective –2-point perspective –3-point perspective © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Work with a Perspective Grid © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning 1-point perspective grid2-point perspective grid3-point perspective grid

Work with a Perspective Grid Point refers to vanishing point. 2-point perspective is the default. Click the Perspective Grid tool on the Tools panel to access the grid. Or select to show it on the View menu. You can resize and reshape the grid. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning

Save your modified grid as a Perspective Grid Preset. You can modify your saved preset. When you are in Perspective Grid mode, the basic shape tools draw in perspective. © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Work with a Perspective Grid

© 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Save your grid settings as a named preset

Work with a Perspective Grid © 2011 Delmar Cengage Learning Specify on which perspective plane you want to draw by clicking one of the faces on the Plane Switching Widget.
