How to Work With 3D in Illustrator
Graphics packages now allow you to present objects in 3D so they can be viewed from a number of angles. This can be useful when trying to show a different perspective or liven up a design. You can make 3D adjustments in an Adobe Illustrator project using a 3D tool to make objects appear not just flat images on the screen or page.
