Is there a software or built in Illustrator tool to see vector graphics in 3D?

I wanted to see my vector graphic in 3D space or give it a light source so that it has reflections or highlights. The aim is to make it look like a real paperboyo so that I can composite it into a real photo. Any help?

I thought Photoshop would be a better way to get your illustrator design to the level you describe. It also has a 3D workspace with powerful tools.

Hi,

which AI version do you use?

If 2021-2022, there is a new 3D filter set there. You can extrude your shape, and give it light and texture.

Check Window > 3D and materials or Effect > 3D and materials.
