Photoshop Halloween

If you have Adobe's Photoshop CS3 Extended, you can import 3D models from other applications. If there are 3D models in a Photoshop CS3e project, you can open up the textures and modify them to suit the project at hand.


The first thing you need to do is identify the mappinig areas.

Change4D SPLINE TEXTURE

I suppose "fun" is a relative term because creating the flag stripes with spline material in the alpha was kind of a chore. get the C4D file (R11 and R10.5)

3D in Photoshop: Simple Religious Icons Part 2

Manipulating the texture on a 3D object within Photoshop CS3 is really easy.  If you know how to use the tools in Photoshop, there's really no limit to what you can do with a 3D material.  Like a smart object, the 3D material is just an embedded Photoshop document.  In Part 2, I check out other models which aren't as easy to break down as the geometry in the cross.

3D in Photoshop: Simple Religious Icons Part 1

Manipulating the texture on a 3D object within
Photoshop CS3 is really easy. If you know how to use the tools in
Photoshop, there's really no limit to what you can do with a 3D
material. Like a smart object, the 3D material is just an embedded
Photoshop document. In Part 1 I just wanted to introduce you to the
idea of slapping color onto a model with some additional elements

This little gem has been making the rounds lately amongst my friends. Go to this website: www.instantrimshot.com
and you can tell a joke, or maybe use it after someone else does. But remember, timing is Key! Theres also a sad trombone for those that fail at life.

fun with foil: 3D easter stuff

I was going to make a quick project about printed foil (or applying a texture to separate faces of single item), and I got carried away in texture creation.  Beware: Material layers in CINEMA 4D are so much fun (and easy), you can easily lose hours to creative play.  file download.easter egg_foil_01.c4d.zip

Static Noise Project in AE CS3

I'm sure there are a dozen different versions of this online - - but it was easier to make (about 5 minutes) than it was to search  for a reference.  The audio was created with After Effects Audio plugins, so it's all self-contained, but you'll need AE CS3 to open it.

If you want some cool looking effects for your actual video, you'll probably want to purchase either TWITCH, a new plugin from Andrew Kramer, or DAMAGE, a new plugin from DigiEffects.

depth of field: Invigorator

What's happened to Stephen Schleicher's tutorial about depth of field and Zaxwerks Invigorator?  It is under a different link, but it's the same article from 2004, which will show you how to make movies like the one below.

FREE STUFF: OLDIE/GOODIE

This is not for beginners.  While it may be simple to use, it is also fairly easy to break parts of existing FFX data by using this tool.  For that reason, I warn, apply with caution.  This isn't an Adobe supported feature - but it works!  And works well!  One caveat is that there are two scripts (ONE=Mac, ONE=PC).check bottom of that page for the free download of the script that makes the Bridge Preview Animation.
