Light source using Illustrator?

[adamjmeyers]

First off I want to thank dimoj for a quick response to my previous question! There is one thing, though, that I still have a question about; if you zoom in on the logo (

you will notice the designer has a "light source" coming from the upper left corner of the logo to create the extra dimension. Can Illustrator handle this? Are there plug-ins that would work for this kind of thing? Thank you in advance for the response!

Hi again Adam

Unless I've misunderstood you this is what you want to achieve right?:

If so, the instrustions I gave you in the last thread was exactly what I just did in Illustrator to create this image! The only thing I forget to mention is after you have created the gradient with the gradient palette then you need to use the Gradient Tool from the main tool bar to drag out a line starting from where you want the center (the white part) of your gradient to start from!

Hope I have understood you!
