Turn any 2-D shape into 3-D Object [PowerPoint 2010]

We interact with the objects around us; there are enormous numbers of them. But every object has its own shape. Through which we identify and understands the use of these shapes and objects in our daily life. So, while getting them on to the big screen we want to make sure that these shapes should look like the real object which we use in our daily life.

PowerPoint provides us the better solution for these shapes to convert them into real life object which means we can convert a 2D shape into 3D Object for better representation. This makes user or audience understand your thoughts or point of information which you want to deliver through your presentation.

Here’s how we do it:

  • Click ‘Insert’ tab and add your favourite shape like circle, rectangle etc. from ‘Shapes’ section

    Shapes section in Insert tab
    Drag or draw shape(s) from Shapes section in Insert Tab
  • After adding your selected shape do a right-click on it and select ‘Format Shape’

    Right click and select Format Shape
    Right click and select Format Shape
  • Select a solid fill or gradient fill (This step is not required but will enhance the 3D look of your shape/object)

    Select gradient or solid colour fill
    Select gradient or solid colour fill
  • Now select ‘3D Format’ tab through this option you can give the 3D looks to your shape by adding depth, bevel, contour and surface type
    Apply 3D format/level
    Apply 3D to B-level

    Select 3D format level
    Select 3D Depth, Contour and Surface
  • Then select ‘3D Rotation’ to give 3D perspective and you can rotate the object if required
    Add perspective to the 3D shape
    Add perspective to the 3D shape

    Apply 3D Rotation
    Apply 3D Rotation

This will not only enhance the object just by 3D effects even you will be able to provide better understanding for the people who will actually see this because our daily learning is all about interacting and to understand the objects which are with us. Even though we can save this object as a Picture file from PowerPoint to use them somewhere else. For this just right-click on object and select ‘Save as Picture’

Right-Click and Save As Picture/Image

So like in our daily life start creating the 3D objects in digital life and get benefits from them.
