I am trying to learn a little bit about the Illustrator 3D tool.  Right now it's about how to use colors on my image.  Nothing I try is working on making a ribbon.  Is there a site I can visit to learn more about this?

Okay I'm getting better at the gradient but how do I get the left side colored.  See screenshot.  And in your screenshot, how do you color those black sides?


Use render Mode and change rotation.

My tutorials are in my native language, but may be they can help you.

Can you perhaps show what you are struggling with?

Are you using 3D (classic) or 3D and Materials?

How are you applying the color? By applying a label?

 

Sometimes it's as easy as a stroke that is applied to the base shape and prevents the fill of the shape from being visible.

I am trying to make a simple gradient ribbon but cannot get the colors right.  I've been working with the gradient tool with no response so I guess that's the wrong way to go.  I have the latest AI and whatever version came with it.  What do you mean by a label?

The help sites I've visited are saying much about the color of the object.  After I get that info I just mostly want to play around with it. (and my ribbon, of course)  I have always enjoyed using Xara 3D. 

On the screenshot the side colors I have been able to colorize but can't get my color on the large face of the image.
