In the first group turn the group containing ‘HiGH’s elements Opacity to 0% so we are left with ‘FiVE’ but technically still maintain the contents of ‘HiGH’. In the second, bottom, group delete the group containing ‘FiVE’ elements leaving only ‘HiGH’ outlines. So, duplicate your text group through the layers panel. So, we are going to adjust our file so the 3D objects look like the image below. Now I don’t want both ‘HiGH’ and ‘FiVE’ to have the same depth and angles of each other. To gain some comfort with the tool, try to adjust the angels, perspective and depth to match the image below – no worries, all the actual values are provided later. Make sure you have Preview checked in the options panel. Next, go to Effects > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. Finally, convert your text to outlines by choosing Object > Expand. Place ‘FiVE’ on top of the ‘H’ in ‘HiGH’ as seen in the image below. Rotate ‘HiGH’ Counter Clock Wise so it is standing on its side. I used ‘Akashi’ font, if you do not have it you can acquire the outlines of a completed Step 1 here. One saying ‘HiGH’, the other saying ‘FiVE’. For the purpose of this tutorial, create two text blocks. As we are working with Vectors, we don’t have to be overly concerned with the size, but to make our importation to Photoshop easier, lets keep the canvas sizes the same ( 3000×2250 300 dpi). Open Illustrator and open a new Art Board. You can see a preview of the completed work below. If you later want to change the text color, font, or size simply select the text with the Type Tool and edit your text as you normally do in Illustrator.This is a complicated tutorial, should you have trouble post a constructive and detailed explanation of your problem and I will be happy to work through any struggles! Final Preview Now that you know how to make an editable Isometric 3D text in Illustrator, you can follow the same steps of this tutorial but using different settings for each of the panels to make your project unique. Lastly, click on the 'Render with Ray Tracing' icon. Next, select the 'Lighting' panel and apply the following settings.

Select the 'Material' panel and apply the following settings. In the Inflate panel apply the following settings.

With the text selected go to Effect > 3D and Materials > Inflate. I will be using the 'Omegle Regular' typeface at 150 pt with the color set to #e491f2. Select the Type Tool (T) and type your text using any font and color you want. In this case, I will make mine at 1800 x 1200 px. Open Illustrator and make a new file at any size you want.
