Shading on 3D Effect

If you are willing to have a nice 3d effect on your blue box (for example) you''ll see an ugly shape of your box. Is that keep happening when we use 3d effect?

Surely no. You can try another trick to get better result.

1. Try using Shading. Turn it off. Or leave it on and expand the graphic. Then select what was your bright blue box and make it bright blue again.

2. Adjust lighting. You could also use the 3D effect as a tracing template and re-draw without the effect. This will give you better control over colour and appearance, but less flexibility if you want to adjust the perspective or rotation.

File format for Printing

When you decide what file format to be printed out on paper, please make sure to choose in Jpg/jpeg format. You may save gif or png on high resolution format, but when you print on paper you will find out the different. Png or gif is a web format and isn't ideal for print. Most printers will tell you no. So you better choose Jpg/jpeg format. In Illustrator you can select File -> Save for Web and in Setting box select Jpg with 70 or 80 quality.

When you bought software from E-bay

Adobe do not confirm valid serials over the phone. Some of the 'customer services' agents have been found to confirm if a serial is _registered_ or not, which is not the same as confirm if the serial is legal or valid. Just because it activates does not mean that it is legal, or belongs to that particular product build. Amazon is reputable - a question mark hangs over some of the third party sellers on there - especially since some of them are effectively using Amazons product description of the legal product to shift illegal product. Some of the pirated versions have a hacked activation and registration system that makes it look like it is being activated or registered with Adobe when it isn't. If you use the Adobe registration system, you will get a confirmation screen that says there will be a followup email with a free bonus (font or training video) -- although the email sometimes comes months later. Do you remember getting that screen and the email offer?

Adobe’s Customer Research team wants to see your SWF content

Adobe’s customer research team is collecting an assortment of SWF content. We are looking to get a wide range of content for a variety of purposes so that we can better understand the types of projects people are working on, and better support those projects that are not always posted on the web. We are especially interested in uses of SWF beyond web sites and advertising – such as (but not limited to) presentations, e-learning, character animation, prototypes, games, rich internet applications, etc. We’d also like to get representation of a variety of skill levels, so feel free to submit your project even if you are not an ActionScript user.
