instructional video on how do a workflow related to putting 3D varnish on a file

Hi there!

is there any instructional video on how do a workflow  related to putting 3D varnish on a file (it's for a business card). It is only one colour (1+0) card, and I want only a part of the object with this 3D warnish!

Thank you so much!

Are you referring to this?

If you want a "regular" varnish, it's just treated like any other spot color, typically on it's own layer of a PDF, or as a separate file.

OK. - So I can do a separate file for that varnish? That is all?

Not necessarily.

Talk to the printing service and ask them how exactly to set up that file. They sometimes want a separete file, sometimes a specific spot color, sometimes a layer, sometimes whatever. So ask them. Their process is made up in a specific way and you don't want to waste money by messing with their process of doing stuff.
