change color of shadow in 3D

[tully1254]

I have created text and applied a 3D Extrude effect to it.

How do I change the colour of the 3D shadow that appears behind the text?

Hello @tully1254,

Thanks for reaching out. Currently, it is not possible to change the colors of the Shadows generated using the 3D panel. You may want to do it manually (https://adobe.ly/4iuXr5n).

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

On the adobe website, you have this sample for creating a 3D effect. How do you have the text in white and the shadow in a green color?

It probably has a green stroke applied.

Yes, that's it, a green stroke gives a green shadow, thanks 🙂

It's a mockup -- not strictly representative of the actual file.

The help file doesn't state explicitly, but you can do something similar by adding an extra light with a different colour that just hits the extrusion:
