This technique is great for making 3D graphic objects and icons. Version: Illustrator CS2 <a href="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/file/illustrator/3d_logo.ai" target="_blank">Download Source File</a>  1. 3D text Use the Type tool, type in "3D Logo". Go to Effect >Warp > Arc and apply the following setting: <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 2. 3D Extrude & Bevel Then go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel and apply the setting as shown in the image below. You can drag around the cube to set the X,Y,Z rotation values.         Set the Extrude Depth to 20pt. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 3. Expand Appearance Now go to Object > Expand Appearance to remove all effects and convert to paths.             After the text object is expanded, Ungrounp the object by Object > Ungroup or press Ctrl+Shift+G.             You probably need to do Ungroup 4-5 times in order to break the object apart. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/3.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 4. Merge paths Select the round corner paths and merge them together by the Pathfinder tool. Hold down Alt key, click on the Add to shape area and the selected paths will be merged.          Repeat this step to clean up all round corner paths. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 5. Apply gradient Select the top level paths and apply a yellow-green color gradient. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/5.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 6. Eyedropper Select the back(depth) paths, use the Eyedropper tool and click on the front paths.          This will copy the gradient fill. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/6.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 7. Darken Keep the back paths selected, go to Gradient pallete and adjust the gradient colors to darker tone. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/7.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 8. 3D logo You can use this technique to make 3D objects from any shape, text, etc. Here are the steps: <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Apply 3D Extrude & Bevel effect</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Expand object</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Ungroup object</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Apply gradient</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Eyedropper gradient fill</li> </ol><img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/9.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> More… Here are more samples I made using the same technique. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/3d_logo/more-3d-logo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
