Working with 3D effects
Using Illustrator 3D effects, you can create three-dimensional (3D) objects from your two-
dimensional (2D) artwork. You can control the appearance of 3D objects with lighting,
shading, rotation, and other attributes, such as mapping artwork to each surface of the
three-dimensional object (mapping is allowed with Extrude & Bevel or Revolve). There
are three 3D effects that you can apply to artwork: Extrude & Bevel, Revolve, and Rotate.
Below are visual examples of each type of 3D effect:
