PS5 3D brushes
I've being playing with the new 3D brushes and the painting option in photoshop. Here I post some attemps of using this new tools and technics. I'll be glad to receive any advise to improve them.  Thanks a lot.

Re: PS5 3D brushes
Great to see your 3D brush art work Deja_vu. Please correct me if I am wrong, but must have had base image, really nothing wrong just a question? I only say, but if we get a little sketch book and start drawing from observation, we learn a lot. this is not my message, its passed down and just share. That rough sketch is no art to put on a wall, but learn from it. Love to see more. Hope others will comment too. I can't really comment on CS5 3D brushes very well. Only tried it a little. Not so natural, at least for me, but I will try harder now. More later. |

Re: PS5 3D brushes
HI Jota, . Yes, of course there's a base image. I'm not so talented to made such scenes fomr scratch (i'd love to).
The main goal to me on using 3D brushes is to give the appearence of "painted" starting with a common photography, without the need of being a real artist. I'll post the original images to see the "before/after" effect and will try to explain how I achieved the result. But don't hold too much expect about it because I've made a very simple work "playing" with the brushes to experiment _________________ Thank god for the google translator to help me not to make too many mistakes |

Re: PS5 3D brushes
Very interesting work. Especially good to see you can get so much variety of tone and texture from the brushes. This isn't something I've looked into in depth, but I can see there's a lot more here than I'd realised. Good stuff. |

Re: PS5 3D brushes
Thanks Deja_vu. It was only a question. Your images are great, and you inspire me to try 3D brushes more! On my part you do not need to post the original "before/after", the result is excellent, but share with others would be nice, as you wish. Playing perfect, that's how we learn, get outside our comfort zone and can learn something new. Its not the cost of failure, but the cost of not trying and pushing ourselves. (sounds a bit philosophical  )
Great work ,

PS5 3D brushes
Great work Deja vu... I did not know that 3D brushes existed! Let me see if I have understood it correctly though: A few weeks ago I was trying to make an illustration with a 2D CAD program (for my work). In my illustration I wanted to spread quite a few equally shaped 3D items (cubes) over a 2D plane randomly (i.e. with different orientations in space). As you can imagine doing this in a 2D drawing program is a combersom task. While I was making the illustration I started thinking about the 2D brushes in PS and said to myself that it would have been fun if 3D brushes for PS existed. Is this what these 3D brushes that you have been using capable of? If not (and I doubt it !), this feature is in my wish list for CS6!!
To make my point clear: Think about making a "brick brush" and then making something like (not quite like but similar to) the following image out of it?! (I just found this image on the Internet ... It illustrates the idea that I am trying to convey ...) Theoretically, all the necessary elements to do something like this are already in PS5 Extended (i.e. 2D brushes + 3D processing)... So if such a brush existed, we should be able to define a 3D item (such as a brick) as a brush, assign different attributes to it (as we would normally do with a 2D brush), and finally add a range of rotation angles in space! As we work with such a 3D brush, the item (for example the brick) would appear with different orientations in space (i.e x-y-z) within the ranges that we have predefined! Wouldn’t that be fun?

See what I just found ... Seems that my understating of 3D brushes was not that far from reality after all!! |

PS5 3D brushes
hi Daniel. well, first of all excuse me for my long delay on the answer. By 3D brushes I'm refering to the brushes that reacts to the tilt, rotation, and pressure of a stylus pen (like wacom). This kind of brushes simulates the real painting brushes not only in the shape but in its "hairs" and so on. You'll see them at the brushes palette with a full draw of its shape and not only a point with more size or hardness. When you select the brush tool, or the mixing brush tool, and use one of this brushes (forgive my poor english I can't explain myself better) the result is a very real experience of true painting, with a almost perfect simulation of a 3D behaviour of the brushes fibers. This allows me to create like-painting photo retouches easily. I don't know if there's a 3D tool that allows to spread symbols in different angles and rotations (like illustrator does). Sorry. _________________ Thank god for the google translator to help me not to make too many mistakes |

Re: PS5 3D brushes
I am not too familiar with the 3D brushes in CS5 (I am still running CS4) so I really can't give much advice on them, but your paintings look great. |

Déjŕ vu, Thanks a lot for the explanation. Your explanation is very clear and thourough ... You shouldn’t be worried about your English skills at all. I bought a Wacom Intiuos4 a few days ago, but I haven’t had time to unpack it yet. I have heard that it takes quite some time to get used to using tablets …

Hi Daniel,
Certainly, using tablets requires a training time in which soetimes you'll feel quite desperate, hehehe... but don't take me too much serious, in a few weeks you'll be enjoying with it. I had the luck of starting several years ago in using tablets, but there's no significative changes in the "learning curve" for wacom's. Now I use it over other input devices. I don't hold a mouse since at least 5 years ago
I encourage you to make a extensive use of the "brushes" palette and experiment with all its options, opacitiy is one of the most used but you'll find that it's possible to set the opacity with the pressure of the pen, and the shape of the brush with the tilt, and so on. Just play with it. it's the best way to lern. And usually you'll find a brief tutorial into the cd that comes with the drivers.
If you have any doubt I'll be glad to share my tips (don't expect too much, I'm the eternal apprentice. Like an old spanish saying: "Apprentice of all, master of nothing" _________________ There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better.
