Additionally, we have the ability, if we scroll down here, to see some extra materials. So for example, under shape presets here, there are different quick presets that you can choose to quickly change objects like bevel and extrusion, A very pillowy-type object here, with minimal extrusion, but I can still push that out, for example, giving me soft, curved text. If we take a look at some of these controls, you'll see extra options. For example here, under deform, we can adjust the extrusion controls, as well as any twists, giving it a little bit of dimensionality, or tapering, to go to a smaller point, such as infinity, or to expand. You see that it gives you a lot of choices…
