3D Glowing Text in Adobe Illustrator
In today’s tutorial, you will earn to create 3D Glowing Text in Adobe Illustrator.
Tools which will be used are Type Tool and 3D Extrude & Bevel
Effect.
Let’s begin with the tutorial by launching Adobe Illustrator
and creating a new document.
Step 1
Select the Type Tool from the Tool Panel
and type your text on the artboard.
Select the text with the help of Selection Tool
and press Ctrl + C to copy
the text. Now press Ctrl + B
to paste the copied text at back.
Step 2
In the Layer Panel, you will see two sub-layers
of the text. Select the bottom layer of the text and hide the top layer by
clicking on the eye icon.
Change the fill color to #900000.
Now click on Effect in the Menu Bar
and place the cursor on 3D. Select Extrude & Bevel.
3D Extrude & Bevel Options
dialogue box will appear on the artboard. In that dialogue box, put checkmark
on Preview and then manually adjust the position of the cube.
Also reduce the Extrude Depth to 22 pt and
select No Shading in the Surface option.
After making required changes, click OK.
Step 3
Now we will apply Outer Glow Effect to our
text. Let the text be selected and click on Effect in the Menu Bar.
Place the cursor on Stylize and select Outer Glow.
In the Outer Glow dialogue box, change the
color of glow to #900000 and
increase the Blur from 5 pt to 10 pt.
Check the Preview and click OK.
Step 4
Now go to the Layer Panel and unhide the top
layer of the text.
Select the top layer of the text and apply the 3D
Extrude & Bevel effect to it as we had applied on the bottom layer.
For the top layer of the text, the Extrude Depth
will be 5 pt.
Now change the color of the top layer text to white
and drag the layer towards upward so that the edges of both the text are at
same position. This will create the 3D look.
Step 5
Now select the Rectangle Tool to create the
black color background. Place this background layer at the back and you can also
apply an effect to it.
So this is how you can create 3D Glowing Text in Adobe Illustrator.
