Creating 3D Shapes in Illustrator
CATEGORIES: Tutorials, Illustrator, Video Tutorials | Corey Barker | June 06, 2008
Corey learned this from a fellow designer. He shows us how to use Illustrator to create a stroke and apply 3D effects to it and then bring it over to Photoshop to use as an interesting background graphic.
This video requires Adobe Flash Player.
Here's a look at the finished product from Corey's Illustrator tutorial

This is amazingly useful since most (well me at least) can't afford 3D software. Great tutorial. Thanks.

Corey was one of the most impressive at Photoshop World in Orlando. I realized very quickly that I could learn A LOT from a guru like him. Made me take a second look at the possibilities inside illustrator!

Just wondering why Corey insists the revolve must always be around the left side of the object.
There's a pull-down menu in the Revolve dialog that lets you choose between left and right... Self-proclaimed guru's aren't always right ;)

if you bring that into flash form illy will it retate completey like a real 3d object. I mean can you use this instead of something created in Swift 3D

Basic, but clear explanation, easy to follow, nice and nite. I like it very much.
I hope Layers Magazine dedicates more space for this helpfull Illustrator tips and tutorials (sadly they do not show up us often they should).
Thank you Corey and please do not forget us (the illustrator, indesign, after efects and other non-photoshop fans).
