How it works

The face is inset by the chosen percentage and the ring between the outer edge and the inset is faceted into slanted planes, coloured with the same top, side and slope scheme as the 3D walls. It works with or without an extrusion.

What you can adjust

  • Inset0–100%, default 40
  • Colours and slope styleshared with the 3D section: top, side and slope colours and Color / Gradient / Comic / Split

Still live text

Bevel is applied as an Illustrator live effect, so the text stays editable. Change the word, the font, or any slider afterwards, and save the result as a Graphic Style to reuse it.

Prefer to do it by hand?
