Text wrap on Extrude and Bevel?

Hello everyone! = )
I am trying to follow this tutorial: http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-3d-newspaper-text-effect-in-adobe-illustrato r--vector-5455. Everything is good until I reach step 11.The symbol "front", "back" etc.. doesn't appear. I only get the usual: Cube, grimes and so on. I can't seem to wrap my text around the font. Please help me Thank you so much! 

You need to create those symbols. Somewhere in that tutorial there need to a step that tells you how to do it.

  • How to I get a mirror image of a 3D extrude and Bevel image?

    I created a ribbon using the extrude and bevel effect and then mapping it with a custom symbol. I copied the image and then tried to get a matching image on the flipside to mirror it but cannot seem to figure it out. Is there a way to somehow flip the orientation of the image? I tried using transform and then reflect and it does not do anything. I tried to do it manually in mapping and flipping the box upside down and in reverse but it just doesn't seem result in the a reflective image. Any ideas on this? Attached are the two images I am trying to get to reflect each other. Thanks

    It works so it is you who have perhaps a blind spot you have to select reflect X and move the object horizontally just look at my settings and the video.
    If you do not see a difference than what I have done and what Scott has suggested than what you actually did then he problem is something entirely different.
    Here is a video you can go wrong if you follow it.

  • Why do I get an error message when trying to Extrude and Bevel my image?

    I am making a logo for a friend and he wants something similar to the Stark House symbol. (The Direwolf) but as a dragon instead. I used the pen tool to make the shape, and now I want to fill it in and make it more 3D. I can't fill it in properly and my image gets an error message when I try to Extrude and Bevel. Why is this?

    error message,
    Is the path/shape closed?
    Selecting it and Ctrl/Cmd+J should close it if not, then you may try again.
    You may also have a look in the Document Infor palette with Objects ticked in the flyout and the path selected.

  • Error in Perspective ( 3D effect extrude and bevel)

    Hello,
    When I open the Illustrator CC 2014, make an object and put the 3D effect extrude and bevel and increase the perspective to the maximum (160) the object undergoes deformation.
    Why does this happen?

      this has 120 perspective
      and this has 160 perspective

  • Applying live paint to extruded and beveled overlapping objects

    I have a celtic design that has sections I want to overlap, but I have extruded and beveled it to make it look more realistically metallic.  I tried expanding its appearance before making live paint, but "live paint make" option remains faded out on the menu... what can I do to live paint this object without losing the 3d look of it?  If I outline the strokes first, and then make live paint... it loses all its extrusion and beveling.  HELP!

    oooh  I figured out a way... it's a bit tedious, but it works!!!
    I ungrouped, and put copies of two of the components I want to overlap on a new layer, in place...
    then I make a clipping mask of the current overlapped areas...
    this clipped mask then sits on top of the underlying section that was not layered right and now brings the bottom object to the top!
    I now have to do this with every overlap where I want to bring the bottom object to the top... but it's worth it for the awesome effect!
    Hope this helps someone else out!

  • Extrude and bevel banding... how do you make the gradient smooth?

    Hi,
    I've got a shape that I want to make 3D using extrude and bevel tool but despite making the blend steps the highest possible amount, I still have banding. I'm using CS6. And there's no gradient on the flat image (it began as white). Any ideas?

    OMG! Just tried Object>Path>Simplify and it worked! This is the result which I am much happier with:

  • Erro no perspective (efeito 3D extrude and bevel)

    Olá, o meu illustrator é o CC 2014, quando eu crio um objeto qualquer e coloco o efeito 3D extrude and bevel e almento a perspectiva ao máximo (160) o objeto sofre várias deformações, por que isso acontece?

    Oi
    Pode mandar uma imagem para demonstrar o problema?

  • Maintaining extrude and bevel effect

    I am currently designing a logo with the extrude and bevel effect. It is fine at full size, but when I copy and paste it and scale it down for another file--a.e. a business card--the effect is lost.
    Why is this happening? Do you have to apply the effect seperately when the object is rescaled?

    This is another option of scaling effects but it slows down the computer when it comes to more than one applied effects. That's why I told him to expand the effect.  Of course when expanding he can't edit effect's properties.

  • Extrude and bevel darkens original colors

    I am designing a logo using the Extrude and Bevel effect for some depth. When applied--using the Plastic Shading option--it darkens the original colors.
    Is there a way around this to maintain the hue in the original color.

    If you still want to use 3D Extrude & Bevel, or use it to refer to while building it from scratch, click on the effect in the Appearance panel, click on More Options, go to the Shading Color menu and set a custom color. Default is black (middle), I've set it to white (right).

  • 3D Extrude and Bevel, Isometric vertical paths not vertical

    While using the 3D extrude and bevel tool, specifically the isometric preset from the position drop down menu. I am noticing that when I expand  the shape (in this case a perfect cube), the vertical paths are not exactly perfect, and are not truly vertical, but off slightly. Is this something that can be fixed or adjusted in the settings, or is this how the tool works?

    Since isometric drawing means just skewing shapes around...
    Isometric drawing is far more than "just skewing shapes around."
    in most cases drawing such stuff conventionally using normal blends or angled gradient fills is much more efficient...
    Depends entirely upon what you're drawing. Many subjects are more expedient to draw/shade with 3D Effect than to construct manually.

  • Text wrapping in Mail and print of grahics in messages

    I have seen a number of questions from users asking about how to make text wrap in MAIL - but so far I have not observed any answers!
    Is there a way to make text in incomming messages wrap - so the window not becomes 50 cm wide?
    I do not know why this seems to happen with some mails from certain people.
    Also, I have experienced that some embedded graphics (e.g. Airline tickets) does not print from MAIL messages. Does anyone have a solution on that? I can seen them in the message, but they will not print properly. (I then make a screen dump - but that's a kind of strange solution)
    Thanks to everyone for support

    Hope that the SNOW leopard solves this, and gets the option to connect to Exchange servers.

  • How to edit a path and its text wrap of zero simultaneously?

    When I try to select a point on a polygon - with a Text Wrap of zero - I merely select a point on the Text Wrap  instead. The Text Wrap path appears to be above the polygon path to which it is attached. How do I select an actual polygon point?
    The larger problem is editing a polygon (point or points) and the Text Wrap simultaneously - rather than the two paths acting independently.
    At the moment, I have to switch the Text Wrap off, edit the shape, then switch the Text Wrap of zero back on. Surely, the most common use of Text Wraps on polygons is to push text away from a polygon that follows the outline of an image - why, therefore, is it default that you can move a Text Wrap point(s) without moving the parent point(s) on the polygon – and vice versa – at once? How can they be connected so when one moves, the other moves?

    For me - in CS6 - the Text Wrap path can behave as though it is above the polygon path which is frustrating if the Text Wrap is set to Zero. Though it is irregular......
    Try this ...polygon with Text Wrap of Zero - nothing selected - select a point - move the point - works! (in that the polygon path moves and the Text Wrap path moves with it) - but then (without de-selecting the polygon) - select a different point - move the point - only the Text Wrap has been moved and, from then on, the polygon and Text Wrap are disconnected (unless the whole thing is selected).
    I realise if the Text Wrap is set to something other than Zero, this is not an issue as the two paths are easily distinguished and, unless you deliberately choose a Text Wrap path point and adjust it, the two paths remain happily connected, but having it set to Zero gives me the most precise control. At the moment, I switch Text Wrap off and on repeatedly whilst adjusting the polygon otherwise I end up with lots of wires everywhere. I think it should be harder to disconnect a Text Wrap from its parent polygon - not sure why anyone would want to disconnect the two in any case!

  • 3D Text - Gradients are rasterized and causes color banding

    Hi All
    I have applied a 3D>Extrude and Bevel on my text. Now problem is that when doing it, my border(part that is extruded) causes a color banding, since it rasterizes
    the gradients. See my image below.
    How do I take away those nasty lines?
    Thank you

    Gradients are always rasterized when using the 3D effect:
    But what you show in your image isn't really rasterization.
    Fill the shape with a flat color and let the 3D lighting alter the values. Or, apply the 3D effect with "no Shading" then Object > Expand Appearance and apply your gradients afterwards.
    Illustrator's 3D is not "top-of-the-line" and often requires exapanding and refining after using the effect.

  • Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

    I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
    I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
    Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
    It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
    1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
    2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
    Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
    I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
    Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

    I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.
