Create 3D Objects with the 3D Invigorator Plugin for Adobe Photoshop

Get your 3D lighting here.

Lighting is a really fun part of 3D Invigorator. Lighting is set up by creating multiple lights that illuminate from different angles. The 3D Invigorator plugin ships with preset light choices. You can set up the light colors, angles and intensity. Each light can be saved as a light swatch for later use.

The Light Editor.

Use the 3D Invigorator Light Editor to get started. From here you can:

Select a preset light from the Light popup.
Adjust how bright or dim the light is with Light Intensity.
Drag around the preview sphere to adjust the direction of the light.
Click on the Color box to change the color of the light.
Use the Shadow Casting checkbox to enable shadows to be cast.

Light swatches & styles.

Use the Light Swatches palette to change a light in your 3D object. The swatch applies predefined characteristics to the light that is selected.

Use a Lighting Style Swatch to affects the whole 'mood' of your 3D scene by changing all of the lights at once. It's a faster, more global way of working.
