Tlmanty Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I am having a hard time adding the 3D to my text - could there be something that is blocking it from adding it? I added a font - added a metallic overlay - nested it inside. I clicked on the affect tab and clicked 3-d - (the FX did show up) didn't see much of a change at all - the program I am following said to go to the little cog shape on the right - I clicked on the cog shape and then clicked on the panel - on the program it changed to look amazing and a huge 3d effect. - nothing on mine. I don't know if somehow it is blocked - new at this and technologically challenged - would appreciate any help anyone could offer. Including my video incase that helps. Thank you! https://www.loom.com/share/7db679742ac14c3498a91c515e189851 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 25, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi Tlmanty, Welcome to Affinity Forums You are using very large font size (3015 pt) and applying a 3D effect with a Radius of just 34px. Increase the Radius to 100px (on enter a value like 300px in the respective input field on the right so you can use values above 100) and you should see the effect more clearly. If you start with a small web document type 1440x900 px (with the units set to px) you should be able to see the effects immediately with the default FX values when you apply them. I've also noticed you had some trouble enlarging the Layers panel in the beginning. If you double-click the Constraints label (the panel below the Layers panel) to collapse it you would will get an expanded Layers panel without having to detach it from the studio.

Tlmanty Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Thank you MEB going to go try that now - question - what is the respective input field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 25, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2020 In this case i meant the area where you can input the values manually - click there, delete the existing value and enter 300 or other value you want. The slider only goes to 100px maximum. See screenshot for reference: Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
