3d Letters

3D letters can be an excellent way to draw attention to your brand and give your business a more dignified, sophisticated aesthetic. Unfortunately, however, their design, construction, and installation can be complex tasks which require maximum concentration; any careless mistake could ruin the entire perspective. Therefore it is recommended that graphics programs such as Adobe Illustrator be used which assist with this aspect by providing automatic setting vanishing points.

Step one of three-dimensional word drawing should involve drawing your word in three dimensions and marking its position for the vanishing point. Next, connect each corner and edge of your word to this vanishing point by drawing lines between these points - shorten these lines as needed so you can determine how deep your word will be; add shadows and lights to complete your sketch.

This process may be lengthy, but will prove well worth your while in the end. To save some time you could also utilize the 3D Extrude and Bevel effect - though this option may speed things up but cause precision issues.
