Adobe Di­ mensions does it for us, adding multiple lights and correctly mod­ eled surfaces.

Last month we explored how Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator can be ·used together. This month we are delighted to display the new Adobe Dimensions package for the working artist. It is a significant new illustrator's tool.

Most often it works like this: 1. Draw in your drawing pro­ gram.* 2. Import your drawing into Adobe Dimensions. 3. Perform the 3-D rendering routines on your import. 4. Export the result to your original application for editing and/or integration into your layout and printing.

*You can also render p_rimitive shapes directly within Dimensions.

After the lighting was adjusted to emphasize the shad­ ows, it was exported to Illustrator where the layers were separated and the background discarded leav­ ing only the flag.

This Graphic Tips issue does not attempt to give a full review of the new application rather to introduce the artist to the possibilities for his or her illustrations. Some notes fol­ low.

The extruded text, right, could be moved in such a way that all the vaning point lines would reflect the new position relative to the line of sight. Amazing!
