Extrude & Bevel Issue - Grainy Appearance

[chelslemmy]

I have been testing the extrude & bevel effect on text. However when the extrude and shadow option is applied, a grainy noise appearance can be seen. Any ideas on how to resolve?

To reduce noise, click the render settings drop-down at the upper-right corner of the 3D effects panel. 

Or use the 3D Classic which does not have noise.

Thank you very much - the 3D Classic was successful! With the non-classic effect I am still am unable to reduce noise through the render settings drop down in the 3D effects panel - I will keep looking into it. Thanks for your help!

Thanks, good to hear that helped, The new 3D is a work in progress and a Technology Preview at the moment:

I am new to AI and need help adding bevel to text without it degrading the quality of the image.

I am able to add effects like stroke or warp but when I try to add a bevel the image is extremely poor quality and blurry.  How do I avoid this?

[Ton Frederiks]

Do you use the new 3D and Materials? If so, try the Classic 3D.

Same issue here, does anyone already has a fix?

Setting higher quality options for the raytracing does anything?

And after that of course click render.

I hopw your machine has a lot of RAM and is high end.

No that doesn’t do anything. I even tried 2400 dpi.

Unfortuanately that doesn't work. I even tried 2400 ppi.

Please upload that file to Dropbox or the like.

For  me the answer was more video card memory.  I was using a onboard gpu  and in the bios saw they only allocated 500 mb . So 4 GB was better but then 8 was even a better result.   Even with 8GB it struggled with  the size I was working in,  The Adobe cs verified on his end with a powerful card he had no issue with my file.

When I did that, I got this weird kind of spotty black line around my vector. Any idea how to fix that? If not that's okay!!

I had to  razterize  the text once it looked good since  the places I worked with dont have the lastest AI  or convert it . I was creating a backdrop so  the file got large but in the end looked great but I needed to first have more memory to get it to look good.  For such a product in scale and cost I would have hoped it would do a better job as in PSE I oculd get something similar and it  was smaller.  Classic vs Modern  should result the same but it does not.  Lets hope they keep working on it.
