CHAPTER 19 Extruding Objects

Although CorelDRAW is a 2D vector drawing application, the extrude feature adds objects to create an illusion of a third dimension, one of depth. Depending on the intricacy of the parent object—and how you pose the object and light it—extruded objects can open up a whole new world of design opportunities and extend your style of illustration to present your audience with scenes they can step right into! This chapter takes you through the rich feature set of the Extrude tool, offers some creative possibilities for its use, and gets your head around the initial challenges of navigating 3D space in CorelDRAW.
