Enhancing 3D artwork with faux 3D effects

- [Instructor] In this movie we're going to enhance…our 3D artwork by adding these faux 3D beads of sweat.…And so the idea is because Illustrator's 3D functions…aren't sophisticated enough to allow us to create objects…that interact with each other…we're going to use gradients instead.…And I want you to see something…and I'm going to zoom in on one of these droplets.…Notice that the droplet is casting a shadow…along its top edge…and then we're seeing a highlight there toward the center…and then we have another shadow along the bottom edge.…

And we're going to create this effect…using a combination of radial gradients and drop shadows.…All right, so first thing we need to do…is switch over to the Layers panel…and turn on this sweat layer,…which contains nothing more than a bunch of green circles…that I drew using the Ellipse Tool.…All right, so I'm going to select all the circles…by clicking in the top right corner of the sweat layer,…and then I'm going to fill them with gradients…by going up to the Window menu…
