Creating live, editable 3D type

In this movie, we'll switch from 3D symbols to one of the…most obvious uses for 3D inside of illustrator, which is 3D extruded type.…I also want you to see how the extrusion is a different color…than the interior of the letters, and that's a function of working with strokes.…So I'll go ahead and switch over to the starter document…here and click on this live editable text to select it.…And then I'll go up to the effect menu,…choose 3D, and choose extrude and bevel.…And I'm just going to enter a few values that…I've come up with in advance, which are 20…degrees for the pitch value, the first one, and…then zero each for the yaw and roll values.…

I'm going to take the perspective up to 100 degrees…and take the extrude depth value down to 40 points.…We don't want to bevel for the text, but…we do want to adjust some lighting settings here.…I'm going to take the ambient light value down…to zero, leave the highlight intensity at 60%, and a highlight…size of 90%, and blend steps of 25 are fine as well.…So everything is set to its default besides ambient light.…
