PROBLEM SOLUTION. AI 2021. If you "Make" can't be selected on the Blend menu, try creating outlines out of your letters, right-click and create outline. If at the end the stroke isn't following the letters curvature, make sure when you are adding the 3D fx that you apply it to the group, not to the fill or stroke, so on the Appearance panel at the top, you will see Blend and underneath Group, select that to apply the 3D rotation effect so that it can apply it to both strokes and fill together.
After i apply blend i would arrange the layers from appearance panel. 3d layer should be on the top of drop shadow layer, after i did that every letters has been cut off except the top letter
IMPORTANT!! :))) [ I forgot to mention in the video that you will have to change the drop shadow direction according to text slope or rotation. ] GREAT TUT!!!
this is awesome, thanks so much, i have a question every time a move the letter for another, the effects remake every time, in the video doesn´t happens, how can i
Illustrator refresh/recalculate every effects when any changes occur to object. Refresh Time depends on cpu strength. It happened in my file too. I just cut that part to save time. So Be patient to prevent app crash. Good luck :)
I don't understand. For some reason there is something I'm doing wrong with the text and the stroke of the first letter doesn't rotate accordingly like you showed in the video. There is an issue with my 3D rotation and when the "blend" is completed, its shows a white background behind the letter. I moved the "Drop Shadow" below "3D Rotate" and nothing same thing but now the letters are behind the rotated one.
Can you help me please. After 3D rotation > blend>make. My laptop make button makes lots of (F) with 3D color type and after select both button I can not separate (F)with effects. Can you tell me please where is mistake.
this video is very nice,i very like, I want to ask you how you clicked "A" on the top of the "F" did not display the original font, I really want to know if you can reply to me thank you.
Great job!!! But... excuse me, where can I find the very first video for very first beginners? (I mean explanation of any single word of an AI screen?) (Yes, of course I'm at this zero level, but I want absolutely learn and do what you explain so well). Thank you for your reply 😊
He conseguido hacer el efecto, pero a la hora de aplicar a otra letra no se como hacerlo. GRACIAS. I have managed to make the effect, but when applying to another letter I do not know how to do it. THANK YOU
Doesn't work with me too. The color of the letter has the good isometric value but not the stroke...there is a white space between color and stroke and i don't see anything... do you know why ? Thanks
That could happen if you don't remove default fill & stroke color right after creating text. That can make edges look different because that color is there even if you applied another from appearance panel. & Make sure you applied 3D Rotate option OUTSIDE the Fill & Stroke. (in Appearance panel)
i follow everything you said but it works only if i remove the drop shadow effect who create a white rectangle around my letters... i don't know where is the problem... But think you for your tuts, your advices and keep going ;)
Looks like you are using Area Text. Convert both text object into Non area text from TYPE menu. When you create text by dragging a text box, it creates area text. So next time you just *click* to make text.
I've a problem, after make a 3d rotation and select both of the alphabets and go to the object > blend > but my " make " is turn off, how to fix it? Im using Ai cs6
How do u select the letter to reposition the effect location. And u do somethings that u don't explain, like the short cuts your using, how to select both objects at once....
hey im having a problem. everything works until i move the drop shadown below the 3d rotate. I made sure i removed the default fill and stroke. When i try to move the second letter it hides everything behind it and i cant see a blend anymore.
I won't be able to help you without proper context. Please send me your file's snapshot along with the appearance panel in it. www.Facebook.com/VectorSlateTutorials
THE WHITE SPACE U TALKED ABOUT AT 2.54 IS NOT GOING EVEN AFTER PUTTING DROP SHADOW DOWN WHAT TO DO, AND YOU TEXT LAYER THUMBNAIL IN APPERANCE IS GETTING THAT BLUE TEXT PIC, MY TEXT THUMBNAIL IS PURE WHITE . PLEASE HELP DOING EXACTLY THE SAME YOU DID.

Sir having trouble in Blending the character plz help i have tried your method but its not working i have done effect order as per shown in your video but its not working
I am having a problem... after I have blended the letters together and moved the 'drop shadow' below the '3D Rotate' a problem appears where only the first letter and the edges of all the other blended layers show... it's not until I hide the drop shadow it appears normal again just without the shadow... Please help
I duplicated the letter 'F' Group> Moved it towards right > Took Type Too (T) > Selected that letter F > Erased with Backspace > Typed Letter I > Do this replacing I with F step for both blended 'F's. I recommend using Outline view (Ctrl Y) to deal with Blended Letters. Outline view makes Artboard easier to understand.
could not duplicate this, sorry. tried going back and following it several times but was unable to duplicate it. could you put the AI file in a link so that I could download it, please. or email it to me. thank you for your time.
HELP ME PLEASE ,,, CHANGED THE ORDER IN APPEARANCE PANNEL AND ALSO DELETED DEFAULT STROKE FOLLOWED YOUR VIDEO STEP BY STEP BUT STILL SEEING BACKGROUND IN BETWEEN BLEND HELP PLEASE I HAVE TRIED MY BEST I M USING AI CC 2018
I can't help you without knowing the cause. Could you send me your Ai file for Inspection on my Facebook page? I'll let you know the cause of the problem.
I haven't used any Blending Modes in this effect. May be you meant "Blend Tool". If yes, then please compare your effect ordering with Mine. In Appearance Panel. Make sure your "Drop Shadow" is BELOW the "3D Rotate". And also make sure that you kept effect where it should be. I mean Inside or Outside "Fill" in Appearance panel. Good Luck 👍
I get the same message sometimes. But after pressing OK, there is everything good. As it should be. But in case your pc configuration is low then close other apps which are opened at same time. It might make Ai faster.
I get to the 3D rotate part and it makes 3D but forms a white box around the letter so when I blend, it does the same to all letters except for just the first letter. Even taking the drop shadow behind the 3D rotate does not work.
Please make sure you cleared default fill & stroke just after writing a character. I encountered that same issue on first time. And check Effect stack Order. Make sure it is the same as mine
When i wrote another letter by using text tool... it doesn't work for me as it was showing the last letter in backward.. like F And l both were overlap
That's because you applied 3D Effect *INSIDE* Fill. Drag it Out of Fill. (In Appearance Panel) if that doesn't help, then Try putting it Above or Below "Stroke". *Effect Ordering matters in Appearance Panel.* Good Luck.
