Have you ever wanted to create a 3D object like this with
lettering on the iPad Pro?
Well, today I'm going to show you how to create this insane
3D scene very easily, and in no time at all.
First thing you need to do is go to the sponsor of this video's website, vectary.com
Vectary is a web app that allows you to create and share
3D design content for the web.
And they've just released a new update.
So I had this idea where I wanted to letter on top of 3D shapes,
but I didn't know what to do.
So I came up with this idea of maybe having like these dice
that I can roll and I want them to look like they're rolling
and there's letters on top and I can do some hand lettering on those dice.
It would look really cool in a portfolio.
So what I did was I went into Vectary and I brought out
a simple square, a cube.
I sort of messed around with the cube and then I duplicated it
by pressing Alt and just dragging it on one of the axis.
Messed around with that, made sure that they were sort of
looks random enough, like there's movement within that.
And I did that six times.
To spell the word 'create'. I needed to change the textures of each of these.
I wanted them to be plastic, but you can change the colours
and everything else if you want to.
If not, you can actually do that inside of Procreate as well.
So go ahead, make sure that all my cubes are right.
And I changed the texture to this plastic one.
It had like this nice rough surface on it that I liked.
I didn't want to change the background or do anything too crazy
because I like the neat minimal feel that these had.
For more complex geometric shapes, I would recommend using
the unwrapped function and there's a little bit of flair.
Go ahead and enable the ground plane.
Add the effect, Soft Shadows.
It just softens everything up and makes it look really nice.
We're not going to change anything about the lighting.
There's no point right now, because what we're going to do
is we're going to export this.
Go to the top left and go to Export and make sure you change
the file format to USDZ and press download.
When you download it, you can right click and if you have a Mac.
Airdrop it to your iPad.
When you do air drop it.
You'll be notified because it'll say, do you want to open this up in Procreate?
And you got to hit that.
Open up in Procreate.
Now, 3D in Procreate is in its early form, so it can be a bit
confusing if you're coming from 2D.
But like me, I'm a 2D artist.
I don't do 3D very often.
It's pretty intuitive like Vectary. Did I mention
Vectary is completely free to use as well?
It's pretty insane that you can actually do this.
Technology is crazy.
You can use one finger in procreate to sort of orbit
around and two fingers to sort of pan around and zoom in and zoom out.
It's pretty easy, self explanatory
after 2 seconds of use. You'll notice when you tap on a square or
an object, it will flash blue.
That means that you've selected that.
Now within the layer panel, what we need to do is
add another layer from the background layer.
This just ensures that we can add more elements later if we want to.
I'm going to spell the word 'create' but each letter is
going to be slightly different.
I do this quite a lot on my Instagram or I used to do this
quite a lot where I would change the letter form and the
type style of it.
It gives a cool effect.
You'll notice when I'm drawing on there that every side is
got the same letter form.
It sort of mirrors it to each side of the die.
So for the C I go for a simple sand serif.
It's simple as it gets.
For the R I go for a gothic one with a brush that I use a lot
of the time, the E I went for a script, just a spencerian E.
For the A I use the pencil, just simply wanted to create this
groovy A, and then I gave it some shadows in the outline.
The T I go back to gothic or black letter, and then the E
I just go for a standard semi serif E capital.
Now inside the Procreate you can go to the settings up at the top.
Go to 3D change the lights and environments to your heart's content.
And there you have an amazing 3D scene with your hand lettering
on it that you've made yourself.
You didn't have to download anyone else's work to do this or any mockups.
It's right there.
Once you're done designing in Procreate, you can go ahead and
share it and share the texture as a PNG and bring it back to your computer.
From your computer, you can go back inside a Vectary.
Click on the shape and you can actually upload that texture straight back into Vectary.
We go ahead and change the colour down here, we add the
texture and we will upload the colour back again.
I'm going to choose the plastic texture colour here and
you'll see it will upload it straight back into Vectary.
Keeping the textures exactly what they were inside of Procreate.
Once you've brought everything back into Vectary what you can do is
you can actually share it and there's a few things you can do.
You can share it to the web so anyone can have a link and
you can also bring it into augmented reality.
To bring augmented reality in, all you need to do is go to
the advanced tab and add augmented reality and it'll pop up for you.
When we press share, we can go ahead and synchronise changes.
We can copy the link and this allows us to share it with anyone.
And to actually embed it on our website as well which you can
also do by copying the embed code.
You can also go into augmented reality by pressing that banner
and getting your camera on your phone and you can take your QR
code scan of this and it will show the augmented reality on your phone.
Now Vectary is amazing for this not only because it's made
essentially for 2D artists to learn 3D, but there's not
really much of a learning curve.
You can just get straight into it and it's free to use so
I'll be really excited to see what you guys create with this.
Thank you again Vectary for sponsoring this video and
letting everyone know about this update.
