1. Re: Type looks jagged after 3D extrusion?
Noel Carboni Nov 2, 2012 5:31 PM (in response to monmart)I've seen that as well. I'm guessing the conversion to mesh just has its limitations. In the case I saw I found using a higher number of pixels for the image helped some, but then there was a new bug where some kind of "cupping" or "scalloping" showed up on what should have been smooth edges. I think that latter issue may have already been fixed in 13.0.1 though.

Your image shows an extrusion (with bevel) of a rasterization, not an extrusion of font vectors.
A Photoshop extrusion of a Smart Object is based on the raster representation of the Smart Object. It's like extruding the ugly buckled Path which Photoshop can create from a Selection.
You can get correctly shaped extruded lettering by extruding one of the following which are not inside a SO:
Photoshop Type layer.
Photoshop Shape layer that's created from Photoshop Type.
Photoshop Shape layer that's created by pasting paths that Illustrator has created from Type.

3. Re: Type looks jagged after 3D extrusion?
monmart Nov 2, 2012 10:49 PM (in response to conroy)Thanks.
I fixed the problem by outlining the type in Illustrator first BEFORE pasting it into Photoshop and converting it to a smart object.

conroy Nov 3, 2012 5:41 AM (in response to monmart)You get better results by avoiding the Smart Object, though. My last option above uses Illustrator type-to-outline function, but when you paste into Photoshop, paste as Shape and do not use a Smart Object at all.
