3D and Materials EPS

Hi

 

Why does my 3D text have a white background when exported as an EPS file? It is only around the 3D bits of a logo?

    3D and materials mostly gets rendered as a raster image.

    So if your goal is to have a vector image, you might want to use the classic 3D effects.

     

    On top of that: EPS doesn't support transparency.

    OK thank you, I had seen the advert for creating the plant pot logo and incorrectly thought it could be saved as a vector I just can get the same effect from the classic 3D effect.

    Maybe you can post an image if what you have now. Then we can discuss if Illustrator can be made to do it.

     

    If the materials are not important, then you can try and select the Render as vector option in the Raytracing settings and then click on render and then Expand appearance. Works sometimes.


    This is what I am trying to create. I tried what you said above and unfortunately it didnt work I still have the white boxes.
