North Seattle, LED Company Solid Apollo is excited to announce the launch of a new, cutting edge five zone LED lighting control system. This new system will enable architects, lighting and interior designers to install state-of-the-art, fully dimmable LED lighting systems with ease and full range of control.

Once again Solid Apollo has answered the call of designers, architects and LED lighting users. In the past, it was extremely difficult to control dimmable LED lighting systems spread out across different areas. The problem was; there was no solution to remotely control independent LED zones with just one wireless remote. Solid Apollo has designed a high quality solution to this complex problem by providing an elegant solution to seamlessly control up to Five Zones that contain dimmable LED lights or LED strip lights .

3-D Text with Extreme Lighting | Lucas Cobb Design

Today we are going to take an object/text, change it from 2-D to 3-D and give it some realistic effects. We are going to be using Illustrator to create the object, then bring it into Photoshop to add highlights and shadows.

So lets open up Illustrator and create a 5”x5” document. Create some text or a logo. Now you want to make sure you pick a color other than black or white or grays, so that we can pick up some of the shadows on the object.

Alright, now we want to turn our object 3-D, so go to Effect>3-D>Extrude & Bevel. My settings are shown below, but depending on what you are using for an object it may be different. What we are trying to achieve here is an interesting angle. Play around with the settings until you get something you like. Make sure you change around the lighting to get the most amount of contrast to make it easier later on.
