[HD] Basics of Using 3D Objects: Photoshop Tutorial

Thursday May 21, 2009



3D is very new to Photoshop only really coming into existence when CS3 was released. In CS3 however the 3D capabilities were pretty limited, but with the release of CS4 3D exploded into Photoshop and now has it’s own set of tools and even it’s own panel. You are now able to even create true 3D objects right from within Photoshop and texture them.
In the following tutorial we will learn about creating a base 3D object and creating a few basic textures for that object. We will also take a moment to explore the 3D tools.
There is a ton to learn about 3D and not everything is covered in this quick video tutorial. Stay tuned for more tutorials on 3D!
