I've been playing with 3D too
As Steve will testify, I was resistant to the lure of 3D in Photoshop up until now. I used to play around with 3D many years ago on the Commodore Amiga, and then the PC, but it took so long to render anything in those days that I quickly lost interest. Things are far more streamlined now and I'm really getting into using it. This is something I've been working on; it took a while to perfect but I think it's shaping up well.  _________________ If you hold on to the past, sooner or later you'll lose your grip. |

Yes, Anna. It's the same book duplicated then merged with the original to allow the lighting to apply to them all. _________________ If you hold on to the past, sooner or later you'll lose your grip. |

Re: I've been playing with 3D too
Very nice work David -- I'm still playing with the 3d -- I did 3D years ago in Bryce --- whether it's my computer or the program I find extended does some weird things at times and hopefully it will improve in a "number" of ways as it evolves. Here's a little scene I'm currently working on (see below) -- the chair for example is approx 15 pieces and I would like a way to either link the pieces or merge them -- so far the only way I've found to do this is to export all pieces as an OBJ and hope they come back united. |

Re: I've been playing with 3D too
That's excellent Frank. Do you mind me asking what size you are doing your images? I found when I was trying to render the glass from Steves tutorial at 180ppi 3" x 3" photoshop crashed. |

Re: I've been playing with 3D too
Thanks Deborah, I usually do them at 1920x1080 pxs at 72 -- I too experience lots of crashes so I hit the save button frequently and particularly just before a major change -- using Windows 7 with supposedly an approved video card but I'm starting to think I need a more powerful video card as oftentimes I have to give it time to digest one move at a time or I get the little spinning wheel or a crash if I move on to quickly. By the way I too sometimes get that "line" and have tried various things to get rid of it -- sometimes successful and sometimes not --- I usually either edit the material or play with the edit UV settings depending on the size of the jpeg material I have used . |

Great 3D work Frank. David, stupid question but does PS Elements have anything that Photoshop doesn't? I've never used Elements so don't know if it's worth me getting a copy? The book preview looks great on Amazon though!  _________________ "Predictions are difficult. Especially about the future" |

Re: I've been playing with 3D too
I'm Enjoying all your 3D entries and well done. I've tried with CS5, but seems CS6 made things better. All I seem to do is make some very weird entries with 3D, please some time ago my interpretation . |

Re: I've been playing with 3D too
Elements is the 'consumer' version of Photoshop. It lacks press-ready features and 3D/video, of course. If you already own Photoshop, there's little need to buy Elements as well. _________________ If you hold on to the past, sooner or later you'll lose your grip. |
