3D Easter Eggs in Illustrator

Using the Appearance Palette to Edit the Effect

Tutorial by Sara Froehlich
Using the Appearance Palette to Edit the Effect
If you go to the Effect menu and try to choose the 3D Revolve filter you'll get a message that "This will apply another instance of this effect" and "To edit this effect, double click the name of the effect in the Appearance palette." The key word to the edibility factor was "Appearance Palette". Open the Appearance Palette (Window > Appearance) and you'll see 3D Revolve is on the list of appearances along with the stroke and no fill. Double click on 3D Revolve to open the 3D Revolve options.
