    I think what you're looking for is something called "wireframes" in Illustrator. Here is somehting that might help with your experimenting:

    1) Open Illustrator and create a star (using the star shape tool - with just an out line, no fill), and then create another star a bit smaller in the middle of your first star.
    2) Select both star outlines and then go to your Effects tool menu and select 3D>Extrude & Bevel...

    3) Make sure the "surface" is set to "wireframe" and then go to town using different shapes, number of shapes, and 3D angles.

    4) Bring your wireframe image into photoshop and add some glow to it - Nice!

    Hope that helps! Have fun!
