Updated 3D in 2022 - is the "Perspective" adjustment option missing?

The old 3D function (extrude and bevel) had a Perspective option. The new 3D function appears not to have this? The perspective slider is very useful for adapting the 3D object to background photos shot with different lenses.

Just being able to rotate and object around X, Y and Z is fine and all, but to make it look realistic I need Perspective.

Hi there,

As Doug mentioned above, 3D options are a work-in-progress. I will forward this feedback to the Product team. I would suggest if you could also post it here ( https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/938463-illustrator-feature-feedback/suggestions/44254299-improved-3d-effects-and-adobe-substance-materials#comments ). This way, you will keep getting all the updates related to this feature and other users can also upvote, which would help us prioritize.

Regards,

3D perspective doesn't work. But they can do textures and ray tracing? L-O-L
Nobody ever asked for Adobe Illustrator to do 3D.
Pretty clear that their product is geared toward marketing more than practical use.

Have you seen the date of this thread? Probably not, because the perspective is working in the current version.

You personally might not have asked for it, but a lot of people have and are happily using the functionality. In order to get the developers working on the things that you need, please request them. https://illustrator.uservoice.com This is where you communicate with the developers and yes, they do read it.

So if it is a "Work in Progress"...why release it? Huge step backwards Adobe! Are you trying to lose customers?

You are probably referring to me, therefore: If this were not released as long as it is WIP, then it would probably take a few years until it's done and afterwards everyone would still have needs, but it won't be touched anymore.

While it still is WIP, you can already do some useful things with it. The old functions are still there and work, so nobody gets hurt by the new function being in the app. Quite the contrary: a lot of people can use a nice function. And: whoever ha a wish for a feature can tell it to them and has a reasonable chance that it gets implemented. I see only winners there.

On top of that: Agile development.

On top of that: This forum is at least 95% people being not Adobe staff. If you want to tell something to the developers, just use this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com

Hello everyone, in the midst of teaching the 3D features I shockingly discovered so many of the "Classic" features "gone".

My work around thanks to a student pointing it out, was to work in the "3D Classic" mode: Effect >3D and Materials>3D (Classic).

Really Adobe?!?

Monika Gause

Community Expert

You have probably seen the mention in the 3D & materials panel that this is a "technology preview"?

It's there because they are still developing it.

The classic 3D options are still there, just use them.

And don't forget to post to http://illustrator.uservoice.com

It's the only way to get your demands to the developers.

I cannot get them to work. It's bad enough that I have to pay $500 to an academic institution to learn an app because the learning curve is so high, but I cannot get the classic 3D to work on my art. I click on the art, and the classic option disappears. It's part of my assignment to use Map Art, and it is nowhere. My IQ feels lower when I use Ai. At least help me finish my assignment, please. Thank you.

I'm a little late to the replies, but there is a solution that I've been using which (so far) has worked well to get the perspective to work with the new 3d tools.

In the appearance panel for your selected object, add two different 3D effects: Add the "3D rotate (Classic)" and the new "3D and Materials". Make sure the "3D Rotate (Classic)" is below the new 3d effect in the appearance panel.

For the classic 3d settings, set the rotations to 15, 0, 0 (X, Y, and Z rotations but only 15 degrees on X). Set the perspective to max or whatever works best for you.

Now when you use the new 3D rotation tools, the perspective will be applied from the classic 3D rotation effect. You can of course adjust the X rotation and perspective from the classic 3d settings if you want a more aggressive perspective.

Very bizarre, but it works! Nice find.

Hi there, i need to use the Map Art or add a custom symbol to a 3D object but its not available as well as the 3D classic panel, i don't have options next to the 3D and Materials.

Doug A Roberts

Community Expert

The classic 3D options are under the menu Effect > 3D & Materials > 3D (Classic)

There is a 'Map Art' button at the bottom of the effect options.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. You should still be able to use the 3D Classic options under Effects > 3D and Materials > 3d(Classic)

Hope it helps.

That´s true. But I would like to use the new feature. Maybe there will be an update with Perspective in it?

The new 3D options are a work-in-progress, and don't necessarily include the full final feature set:
