Hello, welcome to this video! Let's see quickly how to make
3D Effects
Leave us comments to give us feedbacks if you can!
All you need to create 3D Objects is inside a tool called
Keep in mind that
or bitmap images, nothing will happen.
If you want to know how to make
Let's suppose to add extrusion to an ellipse. Enable the
drag on the object. Then you can drag the
direction
As you can see, if you start from a transparent vector curve, also its extrusion will
be transparent. You will need to add some filling color to the initial curve to
cover its extrusion fully.
If you click once again on the object while the Extrude Tool is active, you will be
able to apply
around the direction. Drag on the object to rotate in full 3D. Click once on the
object to finish.
You can delete this effect by clicking on
Mind that
In fact, if you apply any gradient or pattern on the object,
on the same way on both object and extrusion.
To personalize your object without losing its 3D shape, you need to use the extrude
options on top, that appear when the Extrude Tool is on.
To make all fast you can use the
Next to the position values, you can change the
says how it works. The rectangle with bold contours is the initial curve you
start from. The extrusion is all not in bold.
Next to this icon, you can choose the position of the bold cross, that decides
the extrusion direction.
More on the right, choose the extrusion
The first icon is the
pixelated 3: when you don't see it in 3D it means that you didn't apply any
3D rotation on the object. To rotate, just click and drag on the 3. Undo any
3D rotation by clicking on the small
window.
The second icon sets the extrusion
same kind of filling that the 2D curve has, applying an own solid color, or
a good gradient made of two colors.
If you search for a particular color, you can use the
color you want first, and then click on the face or contour you want to fill.
This is useful if you want to get rid of lines you don't want to show.
The third icon is used to add any
The last icon is used to adjust
adjust each of their position and strength. Just activate and deactive them on
the left.
What happens if you apply 2D effects on this extruded object? These effects will
always work on the original 2D curve. So
be adjusted following the new shape.
Other effects may not work properly. If you use the
work on the curve only. You can apply Shadow on both curve and extrusion if you
group
If you try to apply shadow again, this will include the curve
extrusion shape.
To ungroup objects, just right-click and go to
There are other 3D Effects you can find in CorelDRAW X7. If you go to
and then to
be applied on curves and vectors only
You can apply 3D Effects on your images as well. Select it and go to
then to
