Hi all,

 

For a fantasy poster i want to set this PNG image I edited in Photoshop with transparency and color layers/layer mask in 3D with 3D & Materials, but now its now working, even when i'm doing Image Trace I get only a sketch.

I want the image without background.

 

What can I do?

That is all in Photoshop, you cannot apply a 3D effect to an image in Illustrator, you may use the image as a material on  a 3D object in Illustrator.

    Hello @stefanie20,

    Could you share more details, like the version of the OS/Illustrator installed, and a small screen recording of your exact workflow, so we can better assist you?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
