📣📣 FOR EVERYONE HAVING TROUBLE W EXTRUDE AND BEVEL Instead of going to 3D and Materials > Extrude & Bevel go to 3D Materials > 3D (Classic) > Extrude & Bevel (Classic) and it will show the old layout he uses in this video!
Are you freaking kidding me?! I've been doing the shadows manually this whole time! Thanks so much for this tutorial! Gonna speed up my workflow tremendously!
This just helped me out. During quarantine I have been trying to master Photoshop and Illustrator but I did not know what to create and this was very inspirational for me! THANK YOU
Wow Chris, this was VERY difficult for me but I stuck through the tutorial for 5 hours, switching in between your blog post and this video and some other people's videos as I have never done a mask on a layer before (6:00) and I could not Match Color (learned that you have to set the image to RGB Mode) but boy I am SO pleased with my results! Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial: as of 2022 this tutorial is a bit different with the new 3D and materials. I figured it out up until Object > Expand appearance @ timecode 3:07. It now appears to be a rasterized image instead of a vector. Any tips/tricks/ suggestions
WOW. You pack so much in under nine minutes. I started this thinking, I'm not slowing my computer opening Illustrator and Photoshop at the same time. You have changed my mind! This is SO worth postponing opening Photoshop a couple minutes! THANKS AND GOD BLESS!
The scale matters- if someone is using say inches rather than pixels- also what happens if you're using O's or other curved letters for the stage after the 3D boarder? You can't create the color change using this method.
Direct selection tool at 3:20 is not highlighting or selecting anything for me. I've followed all steps perfectly up to this point. What is going wrong??
Yes it does, I have the '22 version - it took me a while to get through this step too :) The magic is in not selecting '3D and Materials -> Extrude and Bevel', but you should apply the effect through '3D and Materials' then '3D (Classic)' then 'Extrude & Bevel (Classic)'. Hope that helps!
Hello, if your extrude and bevel wont work because of "not enough RAM", try closing some tabs or other apps. Idk if it works for everyone but it worked for me
Hello, Spoon,i'm your great fan from Russia.You make really good tutorials) Can you make pls a video how to personalize your workspace in ai and ps in the most comfortable way)ty
@@jasongrant305 I had the same problem but I'm struggling with the offset path, mine is supper bubbly while in the tutorial it's very sharp. Any advice?
I made this last year and I need to do it again this year but now with the new updated it is 3d and materials and it doesn't give me the option to change the surface option. Do you know how I could fix this? :(
hey, i dont know if its the right place to ask, but I'm having a lot of issues with the 3D and bevel effect. after applying the same options, each and every single individual letter just turns on its side for some reason? is there anything im doing wrong or missing?
Thanks for this great tutorial! Can you use videos/moving images for the background and to fill in the individual letter layers instead of stills and export it to Premiere?
Im using Illustrator 28.?? and when I remove shading in the bevel and extrude it just makes a square around the text ..doesnt define the edges at all. Which version of Illustrator are you using?
Did you ever find the answer to this question? I am having the same issue. I go to Lighting in the newest version but I do not see any option to turn off shading, or do "no shading." I can only guess that the settings need to be turned down, or something like that.
I just found it! Effect > 3D and Material > down at the bottom is: 3D (Classic) > Extrude & Bevel (Classic) > then you can pick all the settings as the video describes
Hey Chris is this a recording from 08/05 - 2017 :) when you made the Tutorial for your blog ? or have you remade it and the recorded it ? It is so Funny i have made 3 artworks of that kind a month ago. I always love to see other designers workflow. because I can always learn something new or get inspiration how to approach a design/artwork process in another way that i normaly would do Keep up the good work. By the way you would be a wonderfull skillshare teacher if you had nothing else to do lol
Aksel Larsen It’s a fresh remake of that old tutorial from my website but in video format. Whenever I’m stuck for topic ideas I like to scroll back through my archives and pick out an old written tutorial I can recycle! It’s great that you remember back that far! I’ll have to go back a little further next time ☺️
absolutely cannot get extrude to work grrrrr this is why i hate illustrator!!! I carefully select the outline layers and send to back, i follow your instructions STEP BY STEP and it still doesnt work, all i get is the main test the same colour as the background have tried soooooooo many times now and it makes ZERO sense

Just a small reminder after 1 year of how helpful ur comment was
This took me literally an HOUR per MINUTE of this clip haha so like 8 hours total. Never used illustrator in my life. But I did it! THANK YOU
For the people using Ai 2023, to make the 3d text you have to go to Effect>3d and materials>3D Classic and then to extrude and bevel classic.
man thank you
THANK YOU!!!

Amazing video tutorial, very useful!

excelente trabajo, muy bien detallado... gracias por compartir :)
thank you for this video! it was very helpful for my flyer design I am currently making
Hi, great content! Is there a way to only use Photoshop for this? How would I do the same effect to the text if I had no illustrator?
LOVE YOU THANK YOU!!!
Thank you! This was so helpful. Really concise and clear.
Thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Skip to @1:33
What would be really cool would be doing this on the iPad now.
Does the step at time stop 3:20, where you change the color with the direct selection tool, still work in the latest version of AI?
Yes it does, I have the '22 version - it took me a while to get through this step too :) The magic is in not selecting '3D and Materials -> Extrude and Bevel', but you should apply the effect through '3D and Materials' then '3D (Classic)' then 'Extrude & Bevel (Classic)'. Hope that helps!
@@AndyTurba THANK YOU i was having so much trouble with this
@@quinnffxiv you’re welcome, glad I could help 😊
How do you fill the area with black after you inverse it?
Make sure you have the mask layer selected, then choose the Paint Bucket tool, then black color and click in the border area.
I just figured it out, when he says to "fill it with black to erase it from the mask" he means to just hit backspace. Hope this works for you.
@@Dr_McDickerson thank you!!!!!!
You’re awesome.
Hello, if your extrude and bevel wont work because of "not enough RAM", try closing some tabs or other apps. Idk if it works for everyone but it worked for me
Amaziing, thank you.
cool 8 minute video i finished my sentence 3 hours later congratulations on the work god bless
Hello, Spoon,i'm your great fan from Russia.You make really good tutorials)
Can you make pls a video how to personalize your workspace in ai and ps in the most comfortable way)ty
awesome! thanks! one of the cards was from where i'm at...
so @ 3:23 he direct selects the bottom part of the letters- letter O does not have a bottom part and is one with the sides. what am I doing wrong??
Awesome video! Thank you! May I ask how and with what did you scan the postcardbackgrounds ? Trying to archive mine but getting bad results...
I achieved this by selecting the white around the postcard edge with the magic wand with a tolerance of 10
I'm trying to offset my text but when I choose 2 px it appears round, not sharp like yours is. Why would it be doing that?
how do you apply the grey color to the outlines? I try that and it does nothing.
I can't seem to expand the appearance even though I've followed every step. This has happened to me before. Any ideas??
In 6:00 how did u fill the area with black? Help me please 🙏
Alt+Backspace on Windows, Option+Delete on Mac
@@MrLiver8 thanks 🤩
Was attempting to do this today but CC has changed the 3D tool drastically. Do you see a way it's still possible???
same issue here! cant ungroup after expanding appearance.. cant find any answer anywhere
@@jasongrant305 I figured it out, there is a 3D (CLASSIC) option that works. It's at the bottom in the "3D and Materials" menu.
@@jasongrant305 I had the same problem but I'm struggling with the offset path, mine is supper bubbly while in the tutorial it's very sharp. Any advice?
compliment
thankyou so much
How did you add the white background to the secondary text?
Might be a white colored drop shadow, or just a copy of the text placed in behind a few pixels below.
thanks!
do you think you can make a video of How To Create an Animated Neon Sign Effect??? Please
The program won't let me select the bottom extruded portions, so I can't add the orange colour :(
Thank you for this tutorial Chris, do you teach this using Affinity Designer?
I made this last year and I need to do it again this year but now with the new updated it is 3d and materials and it doesn't give me the option to change the surface option. Do you know how I could fix this? :(
With the new updated version, go to Effect -> 3D and Materials -> 3D (Classic) -> Extrude & Bevel (Classic)... Hope this helps!
Thanku
Is this normal that i lose quality of the font when i tranfer it to the 3d effect??
hey, i dont know if its the right place to ask, but I'm having a lot of issues with the 3D and bevel effect. after applying the same options, each and every single individual letter just turns on its side for some reason? is there anything im doing wrong or missing?

Is it possible to do all of this in Illustrator?
Hi, I can’t match the color, the command is not available (and I’m following all the instructions). Do you have any advice?
Gravity Falls Logo now have sense to me :D
What would you charge for graphics work to produce a cover for a calendar , i'm looking for a seaside postcard look .
Hi
Why don't you make clipping masks of landscape photos in Illustrator? 🤔🤔
How do you do no shading in AI2023?
I just figured it out today. You dont go to 3D Extrude and Bevel but there is a setting 3D (Classic). Its the last option
i dont get it how do your lines come out more thick like at 2:42. My lines are so close to the letters
Same
Can I do this tutorial without illustrator? I only have Photoshop
Anyone know how to turn on ‘no shading’ because I think I’m using the new version and I can’t find the button
Did you ever find the answer to this question? I am having the same issue. I go to Lighting in the newest version but I do not see any option to turn off shading, or do "no shading." I can only guess that the settings need to be turned down, or something like that.

@@troymorgan5223 tysm! i was having the same problem! u literally was more helpful than my graphic design teacher XD
thank you for existing, i want to die after attempting it without a tutorial
glad you're still here with us, pal!
workflow broken with new update
Still easily correctable
Use the 3d (classic) effect
match colour isn't working for me
Is anyone else having trouble with the match color? It is not allowing me to select it
I did it the first time and now that I’m working on another graphic it’s not letting me even though I’m doing the exact same things.
everytime i try to bevel, it gives me an error that says "Error occurred while processing the appearance of an object". does anyone know why? 😭😭
Great tutorial. Don’t have illustrator. Could you show how to create text in photoshop, would be huge. Thanks
This would be a huge help
There's a free trial for illustrator
i used that
I have no Object menu in my Photoshop, and most of the tools you used are missing. Did Adobe eliminate these functionalities?
