3D Vase
3. Create Map Art
With the vase object selected, in Appearance Pallate, double click on the 3D Revolve effect icon(f) to change the 3D Revolve Options.
When the 3D Revolve Options window pop ups, click on Map Art button.
Map Art options
Check Preview option so you can preview the result. At the top where it says, Surface, use the arrow buttons to locate the surface that you want to Map Art. Notice there is a red wireframe on your object which show you the surface you’ve selected. In this case, it is 4 of 5. From the Symbol drop down, select the symbol that you’ve created in the previous step. You can position and resize the symbol in way as you want. You can also create multi-surface Map Art by selecting the Surface then the Symbol. Click OK when you are happy with the result.
Final
That’s it! With just 3 simple steps, I just created a nice 3D Vase with Illustrator 3D Revolve Tool.
