Photoshop 3D vs Invigorator 3D.LEVEL: BEGINNER So what is the difference between working in 3D Invigorator's environment vs. making use of Photoshop's new 3D capabilities? The difference is pretty vast and we explain it all in this video tutorial.
|
|
|
Intro 1: Using 3D space.LEVEL: BEGINNER Part 1 of this Photoshop tutorial introduces you to 3D Invigorator. We discuss some of the basics of working in a 3D environment, and go over the Invigorator workspace.
|
|
|
Intro 2: About 3D objects.LEVEL: BEGINNER Part 2 of our introduction talks about the 3D objects themselves. We also discuss using Illustrator files and the plugin's built-in primitive objects.
|
|
|
Intro 3: Extrude & Bevel.LEVEL: BEGINNER The final part of this Intro series discusses the Extrude and Bevel Settings in the Object panel. Extrude lets you set the depth of your 3D object. Bevel gives a wide variety of choices for the object's detail, like Woodwork or Art Deco trimmings.
|
|
|
Editing with the Profile Viewer.LEVEL: MEDIUM The Object panel lets you choose Bevel Settings that define the shape of the side of your 3D object. The Profile Viewer allows you to see what that bevel looks like. Let's see how!
|
|
|
How to prepare Illustrator files.LEVEL: BEGINNER Importing vector shapes from Adobe Illustrator is a great way to quickly get started with 3D Invigorator. This tutorial explains how to prepare your Illustrator files for use in 3D Invigorator.
|
|
|
Using the Material Editor.LEVEL: BEGINNER The Material Editor is your one-stop shop for prettying up that 3D model. 3D Invigorator ships with 100+ premade textures in the Material Swatches palette and many ways to edit and customize them.
|
|
|
Working with Textures & Bump Maps.LEVEL: MEDIUM 3D Invigorator contains interesting texturing options, as any good 3D system should. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Textures and Bump Maps in the Material Editor.
|
|
|
Create new materials & texture mapsLEVEL: MEDIUM Learn how to create your own materials in 3D Invigorator. Then learn how to create custom texture maps out of those materials. It's all very colorful and fun, so let's get started!
|
|
|
How to preview 3D object on Photoshop layer.LEVEL: MEDIUM Normally it is difficult to preview the 3D Invigorator object you are designing against another layer in your Photoshop file. We teach you an easy workaround using the History palette.
|
|
|
Create a 3D logo, part 1.LEVEL: BEGINNNER To create our Tech Fusion logo, we use all of the 3D Invigorator elements: text characters, imported Illustrator objects, and primitive 3D shapes.
|
|
|
Create a 3D logo, part 2.LEVEL: BEGINNER In part two of our logo tutorial, we complete our Tech Fusion logo. Detail work with materials and objects in 3D Invigorator, then finishing touches in Photoshop itself on a Smart Object layer.
|
|
|
NEW Using Texture Anarchy with 3D InvigoratorLEVEL: BEGINNER Learn how to use Texture Anarchy to generate materials for 3D Invigorator. Texture Anarchy allows you to create amazing procedural textures that look great when applied to 3D objects.
