[@digital_charm]

Thanks Dansky,! Another great tutorial!

I just started using illustrator and your videos are the best source I can find to learn it. Thanks

[@ForeverDansky]

That's great to hear you're learning Illustrator Raunak, and glad the tutorials are helpful 🙂

Cheers! You're definitely my favorite tutorial creator on youtube.

[@Alyanna_0123]

Please make more tutorials, i've watch so many tutorials like this but only you i was able to do this 3d shapes!!! very understandble accent and explanation!

[@kc_lavaughn]

Great video! As somewhat of a newbie to Adobe Illustrator, it can be difficult to find helpful instructional videos teaching new skills in a comprehensible format. This is easy to follow and to apply to my own work. Thanks for sharing--looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@suzannedawson4120]

I agree with the previous comment. Fantastic tutorial. Straight forward, very and easy to understand. No music in the background making it difficult to focus.! Spot on! Thank you so much! This is really cool, but I’m wondering why you would need to cut the circle in half. What would you have to do with a more complex shape like the letter “A or p” for example?

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks Suzanne! The circle was cut in half in order to the use the 'Revolve' feature. For other shapes that aren't symmetrical the 'Extrude & Bevel' option may be better suited :)

Много полезно приятелю ползвам програмата от 3 дни и се получава благодаря много .

[@kenninast]

This is really great! Thanks! But... though it looks like a complete sphere, it's actually just half a sphere. In some cases, this will be annoying. How do we make it into one sphereical shape instead just a half?

[@connecticutearlymusicfesti2694]

I wonder if you might consider doing an updated tutorial on this topic at some point. I tried to follow along using AI 2023 and the panel that appears after clicking on 3D and Materials is quite different from the one in your video. Some of the options were the same, but other were different. For example, when it cam time to apply the art to the sphere, I didn't see a Shade Artwork check box...

[@dewpiedie3544]

Can I just get the graphics pattern you used on the circle?? Nice and useful tutorial thanks

[@retroprime7244]

What will be the difference if I don't join the anchor point of semicircle

[@seraphinamarini]

I love the video and am so glad the mystery of creating 3D object is finally resolved, but in Adobe CC2022, the appearance panel does not contain the "3D revolve" button therefore I can't find the "map art" button either. Does anyone know where I can find it in my version of Illustrator?

[@osamahasanain1647]

hey bro your design is the best design. please tell me how can get this image which you use in the circle

[@HolisticVibrancy]

I'm very new to Illustrator. I would like to create a logo using this method with text on it. Do you have a video showing this process? Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot U r great

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks safaa!

[@suzannedawson4120]

I follow your instructions to a T but it wouldn’t show a 3D ball. Just 2D flat grey circle??? Tried it exactly as you described but I get the same thing. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey Suzanne, try using a different colour (eg. orange), and see if it’s still 100% flat, as certain colours don’t show the shading too well sometimes.

[@suzannedawson4120]

@@ForeverDansky I tried it in a grey like you suggested. Then tried it in red and that worked. Then I made a white “egg” and that worked but when I went to make another egg there was a flat dark circle sitting on the front of the egg? Maybe my illustrator is corrupt. I will call tech support

[@suzannedawson4120]

Thanks

My sphere keeps saying it has 6 sides when I go to put my design on it instead of 1 of 1. What am I doing wrong?

[@evanmanni2723]

Amazing

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks Evan :)

[@fofitaali272]

I have a question.. why the map art shows me 1 of 6 what should I do to make it 1 of 1 ?

[@pleasesircanihavesomemore2402]

Brilliant stuff mate. Quick question though, when I clicked preview the ellipse turned black, and messed up the colouring. Do you know what happened? I followed your steps exactly...

[@EdWens]

Hi, I had the same thing. Turn out I had a stroke applied. If you remove the stroke, it will work as shown.

[@crevos4520]

Thanks

[@onewoo4662]

can this work on any graphic? ie. if i draw a person using the pen tool will this work?

[@tonymcdonald1961]

which mac are you using? I tried to follow along and it kept having to render. I have a 3.4 processor and I'm wondering if this is enough?

[@ChunkyChest]

can you blend between 3D objects ? ( will test this later )

[@fuzz4107]

Question? Why when I follow these instructions I keep getting 6 surfaces not 1? Help!! Would like to map art on but have too many surfaces

[@ryanbelmontryan]

Thanks for the tutorial. Once you have mapped you artwork, can you vector the final mapped artwork so that its line based?

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey Ryan, yes if you select your object and go to Object > Expand (tick all boxes) it's finalise your mapped artwork into one complete composition :)

[@ryanbelmontryan]

Great! Thanks - really helpful tutorial

[@BATOOST]

When I do the 3D effect, it doesn't look like the one on the screen at all. It just looks like a whitish circle in another circle, rather than a gradient kind of shadow creating a 3D effect. All of my options are the same as the video, does anyone have any idea why this might be happening??

Hi Dansky, would you mind showing us how to apply a "logo-ed" text into this 3d object? I made a really nice text logo but would like to add it to a sphere to make it look like the logo is on a balloon, lol. I've created the logo and made it into symbol but for some reason it is just not showing up on the sphere...

[@ForeverDansky]

Hey Stacy, when you go to map the logo/artwork to the sphere, have you double-checked that the artwork is positioned on the front-facing part of the sphere, rather than behind? Also is the 'preview' box check to show any changes in real time? If this doesn't work, try saving your logo as a PNG, then re-importing it as this flat image, convert to a symbol, and see if this works :)

[@4HYRULEM4STER]

Im really having trouble making a graphic style. Im on the 2017 version and tried apareance and to use the combo of the graphic styles. It wont accept my drawn objects. Why does adobe make this so weirdly difficult for no reason.

Can’t find the symbol button?! Help?

Hello quick question when doing this the shade artwork option is greyed out?! how can i fix this? need that shadding!

i place the image as a jpg, embedded it and then added it to the symbols, is there a way to get shadding when creating the sphere from a photo?

why do i have 2 surfaces on the revolve?

I need to make the Lines symbol first. how do i do that?

[@ForeverDansky]

Go to 'Window' and select 'Symbols'. Drag your lines (or design) into that panel to make it a symbol, and you can then apply it to an object from the 3D revolve options window 👍

Hey does anyone know how to remove the sphere after you have mapped a graphic on it. I just wanted to make the graphic look like it was across a sphere but not sure how to remove the sphere after without also removing the graphic..anyone please!

Never mind I found that expanding the image after fixes this issue and you can select any part of it separately
