3D Easter Eggs in Illustrator

Creating the Path for the 3D Filter

Press the delete key to get rid of half the egg. At 1, you can see what you have left. Then use the direction tool to move the top point upward a bit as in 2. This will let you get a more realistic egg shape when you use the 3D filter. 3 is the final shape. This is the path the 3D filter will revolve around, and which will create the shape of the egg.
