How to Create an Isometric Text Effect in Adobe Illustrator
This Adobe Illustrator tutorial will take you through to the step-by-step process of creating an isometric text effect, which features three-dimensional type combined with vibrant colours to produce a fun vector art style.
Adobe Illustrator is the perfect tool to create such an effect; the 3D Extrude & Bevel tool easily generates an accurate isometric layout, then the artwork can then be broken down into individual vector shapes for easy customisation with colourful fills and detailed patterns.

For the people who have a problem with expand object and then ungroup in Illustrator 2021, 22 and newer: In 3D materials and effects list are two versions of Extrude & Bevel - right in the list and one in 3D (Classic) section. You need to use Extrude & Bevel (Classic) /in 3D section/ to expand and ungroup. Otherwise you won't be able to ungroup object. First Extrude choice will expand it to picture.

I've been looking for the solution for this for over a week now. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
so smooth! most of the design tutorials are just not it. this is brilliant and so informational, you're really thorough. ❤️❤️❤️
Dang Chris another solid tutorial! Was just thinking about isometric scenes and shapes and then your video popped up on my feed hahah
Thank you guy. I am a beginner illustrator. Your lesson helped me. I succeeded on the second attempt. Thank you again.
Just wanted to say, created this today. Thank you so much for your tutorial!
great tutorial and very easy to follow along with! Thank you so so much
It's a really good tutorial and introduction to isometry ! Thanks !
Thank you! You're awesome as always!
This is awesome! Just tried it and looks pretty cool! :)
That was amazing thanks for the video!
I love this. Its incredible.
Really an awesome clear video thanks Spoon graphics and looking more video like that
Another cracking tutorial Chris
Straight to the point. Gr8t tuturial
Thank you for the tutorial!
So good. Thank you!
Great tutorial! I love the step by step explaining. Although I did run into one problem. When you added a stroke to the letters the stroke only applied to the edges of the letters. When I apply a stroke to the letters it applys to all the "blend steps" on each letter. When you added the 3D bevel and extrude effect you left the option "Blend steps" at the default 25. How did you get the stroke to not affect the blended steps added from the 3D effect?
This is a really good tutorial thank you
Thanks Spoon Graphics
*LOVE* this.
Very useful tutorial Thank you 👍
Yeas Great Great Session !!!!!!!!!
Cool man. Thanks.
Very nice, thank you for share
Thank you so much for this tutorial I had so much fun creating this minis the shadow part lol for easy way round for shadows I first selected the text then from the second top bar I chose "style" then "drop shadow" and ok .. not a very clean shadow but good enough for a beginner
Thank you ! :)
thank you!!
thank you im very happy with the result i made
Awesome.. 👌👍
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL U SAVED ME FROM MY ART HOMEWORK
This helps me a lot
Good spoon graphics
Once you applied the 3D settings and expanded the appearence can you go back to those 3D settings from the appearence panel and change them? I've looked everywhere and tried everything I could think of. Without applying the expand appearence my 3D seetings are always there in the appearence panel ready to be changed but as soon as I apply the expand appearence option my 3D settings disappear. Can you help me with that? Thank you!
Hey, do you maybe know why everything I press a tool and go to my layer it turns into the hand and I can’t use the tool
Great video
thank you!
Great video! I succeeded the first couple of tries, but now when I go to blend the text it does some sort of weird warp and I haven't got a clue why?! Any chance you would know?
Wonderful. Great.🎉
Dude u r awesome
For the drop shadow blend you don't need to do specified steps with a high volume. Turn the shape (any colour but black) into a compound path then choose smooth blend plus unite.

Interesting! I'll have to try that out, thanks for the tip
I have downloaded 3D texts from freepix that say they are fully editable but can't find a tutorial on how to go about changing the text to what I want. Are there any videos on how to do fully editable 3D text?? I am very new to Adobe Illustrator.
When I click expand experience it doesn't break down into pieces :(

Make sure caps lock isn't on and be sure to use the classic version of extrude and bevel
People who have made tutorials for this in short format like an Instagram reel do not compare to this video. Sure, I wanna learn things quickly but I also still want it to be clear and not so fast and messy that it becomes confusing. Thank you for making a video and not a reel.
Monstro, com simplicidade fez algo muito bom!
God bless for the tutorial.
Hi sir, why is my extrude and bevel didn't come out like your setting? my isometric top is 30 degree, 45 degree and -30 degree. can you help me sir
thanks bro
Thanks for this. Would this work on hand lettering vector?
Thanks for the video. Could you repeat the style of the serie Snowfall? Thanks again

I've just begun using Illustrator today, but coming from a blender background, I thought it was weird that, from a render, you can get extract shapes - you can't in the new extrude & bevel. Here's how to do it in Illustrator 26.0.2: >Create your text >Change color >Add yourself an appearance window Shift+F6 or Window>Appearance >Click fx>3D (Classic)>Extrude & Bevel (Classic) >Choose your desired rotation, tick Preserve Spot Colors, set your lamp where you want >Object>Expand Appearance >Right click and ungroup twice This way illustrator can read the text - I think. Either way it works.
