Creating a 3D comprehensive
To present the packaging label, or to quickly check out different structural designs, Illustrator has a great feature, the three-dimensional (3D) effect. This will enable you to transform two-dimensional artwork into three-dimensional objects. For example, you will now turn the drawing of an outline of a bottle shape into a realistic looking 3D comprehensive. Since 3D Revolve is implemented as an Effect, modifying the outline will result in a different bottle shape.A simple line drawing of a wine bottle is the starting point to create a 3D comprehensive or mock-up. The Lesson03 folder contains an Illustrator file prepared for this purpose. The color of the line drawing determines the color of the bottlein this case a bottle green hue.
| 1. | In Illustrator, open the file called bottle-drawing.ai, located inside the Lesson03 folder, inside the CS2CIB Lessons folder.In the top part of the document there is a line drawing of the outline of half a bottle. At the bottom of the page is an image of the label you have just created. | | 2. | With the Selection tool, select the line drawing in the top part of the page, and then choose Effect > 3D > Revolve. | | 3. | In the 3D Revolve Options dialog box, turn on Preview, and then without changing any settings for now, click OK. (See illustration on next page.)[View full size image] That's it! You've designed a 3D comprehensive of a wine bottle. Of course the bottle would look nicer if the label could be attached to it. This will be the next step. |
