- In this movie, we'll take look at…one of the most obvious applications for…3D Insight Illustrator, and that's 3D Type.…It's worth noting that this type is entirely editable,…by the way, and we're controlling the color of…the extrusion using strokes.…We'll go ahead and switch over to this starter file.…And I'll click on this Line of Point text with my…black arrow tool, then I'll go up to the Effect menu,…choose 3D, and choose Extrude and Bevel.…And you can see if I turn on the Preview check box,…that just like that, we've got 3D type.…
So it is very easy to create, however it…can be a little fragile.…So let's say I decide I want the text to be more or less…face-on, in which case I'll change the second two values,…the yaw, and the roll to zero degrees.…And then I'm going to pitch the text backward by…increasing this first X axis to 20 degrees like so.…Now everything works out fine when the Perspective value is…set to zero degrees, but let's say I take it up to…100 degrees, at which point we temporarily…see the wire frame outlines.…
