In this Adobe Illustrator tutorial, we’ll build a simple text effect and use the Pen Tool to create inner and outer edges for our letters and then use a series of colors, gradients, and blend modes to make flat text appear to transform into fully 3-dimensional isometric typography that looks awesome in almost any color! You’ll learn about the power of Smart Guides, Masking, Vector Grain Effects, Gradients, Brushing, Blend Modes, and much more!

[@징징-u4f]

awesome tutorial as always, I just wanted to ask you a question about your video. I would appreciate if you tell me what software you use for your recording (My English is short, sorry )

[@tutvid]

I use an app called Screenflow (it's Mac only, though)

[@Semireject]

Nice one! It kínda bothers me that some of the angles doesn't add up :) Like the top right of the Z (the vertical line/angle). In both the reference and your work. Not a biggie though I guess.

[@tutvid]

I went with the easy "fix" of just making a straight up/down line. I maybe should have talked a little more about perspective and making it better. Thanks for the comment! 🍻

[@krishbey]

can you please make a video on how to mask an image in multiple vector shape in illustrator? I can mask an image inside a text before creating outline . . . but i can't if i try after creating outline the text and then try masking the image. I tried to mask one image into multiple vector shapes together but it don't work. Waiting for your suggestion.

[@saikumar5957]

thank You bro..

[@Stiffler5792]

I have a problem. The "snap to point" option is activated yet the pen tool does only snap to the anchor points and not to the path intersections. Could someone help me? Thanks :)

Cool

[@tutvid]

Thank you very much 😃

[@palpytine]

I can't help but stare aghast at those two straight vertical corners on the Z and how wrong they look, it reminds me of my own childhood attempts to recreate the optical illusions of M C Escher... and not in a good way.

[@tutvid]

I went with the simple/fast straight up/down line. Maybe I could have spent more time talking about the perspective of the letters. I was too excited about sharing the rest of the design, I guess 😂

[@palpytine]

Seems fair, but the odd part is that clarification of "We're not going to go corner to corner..." at 07:00 - My gut feeling is that it would have been faster/simpler/easier sticking with consistency and not needing to add that bit!

[@adsencely.adsencely7123]

IF the letter is o how do you go about it

[@tutvid]

You will need to offset a duplicate of the letter and use the Pathfinder's Divide feature to create the exact shape you need to the edge(s)
Hope that helps!

[@jwalzer]

Nate - great video as always. Was wondering if you could do a tut on how to create the text effect here - www.eastendprints.co.uk/products/genius.html
Thx

[@MHATechnologiesLahore]

It's looking very difficult..!

[@tutvid]

I can be bit :D

[@p_a_t_h6237]

the perspective is wrong
