Explore and exciting wave of possibilities with the newly enhanced 3D features in Photoshop CS6 Extended. With these new performance enhancements, implementing 3D into your design work has never been easier or more fun! Join Corey as he shows you how to hit the ground running with these newly enhanced and intuitive features. If you haven’t started experimenting with 3D yet, now is the time!

Course Lesson :

Introduction (01:22) Welcome to an In Depth course on getting up and running with 3D in Photoshop CS6 Extended

Creating a 3D Object (11:42) Here we will learn the numerous ways you can create a 3D object and some things to be aware of to avoid those frustrating "gotcha" moments.

Importing 3D (05:57) In addition to creating numerous types of 3D object, Photoshop can also import 3D objects created in other 3D applications. In this lesson you will learn how to import these objects and use them in your designs.

Understanding the 3D Space (12:11) With 3D being such a new thing in a 2D application you must employ some different thought processes when going into that 3rd dimension. If you are brand new to 3D or even 3D in Photoshop then you will want to watch this lesson.

3D & Properties Panels (09:17) These will be the two most important panels when editing 3D. These are basically the nerve center of 3D in Photoshop. Get to know them well. You will use them a lot!

Extruding & Modifying Custom Shapes (08:11) Extrusion is the default action when you create a 3D object. It extends the converted image into the third dimension but more than just extruding the shape, you can do so much more. Watch and see.

Editbale 3D Text (08:10) Finally designers can rejoice the fact that easily editable 3D text is now a reality in Photoshop. As a designer this feature alone is worth it's weight but once you see what else you can do with it you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

Revolving A 3D Object (07:23) Another technique for creating a 3D shape is called revolving or lathing. This involves bending an object around until it wraps around and closes the shape. In Photoshop this starts with an extrusion. Then there is a little trick to it. Check it out!

Merging 3D Objects (07:14) Now that we have shadows and reflections available on the ground plane there is less reason to merge 3D objects. However if you still want two or more objects to interact with shadows and reflections then you will need to merge them into a single 3d layer.

Texture & Surface Properties 1 (11:13) Now with the shapes created it is time to dress them up with textures. Over the next two lesson we will cover other surface properties like reflections and bump maps and how to tweak them to get the best look.

Texture & Surface Properties 2 (10:01) Continuing with texture and surface properties

3D Lighting 1 (11:02) Just like in photography, lighting is very important! It can make or break your 3D art just like it can a photos. Although, the virtual world, you have much more control over the behavior of light and what light properties effect your 3d objects.

3D Lighting 2 (08:42) In addition to the lights we discussed in the last lesson we will also discuss something called an Image Based Light. These are really cool but can be a bit tricky.

Putting it all Together (11:06) Here we will take what we know and put together a quick project. One reason is to basically summarize what we have covered up to this point but also to demonstrate how quickly you can create compelling 3D in a matter of minutes.

Topaz Lens Effects 1.2.0 Plugin for Adobe Photoshop
- 58,34 MB -

Topaz Lens Effects brings all of your camera lenses and filters (and even those you don't have yet) together in a powerful and easy-to-use plug-in, eliminating the need for additional and expensive equipment, while providing unparalleled editing flexibility. The diverse range of effects made possible by virtual simulation of common lenses, filters and specialty cameras make it easier than ever to change or emphasize focal points, adjust depth-of-field, add vignettes, balance color tone, create miniature scenes and so much more.

Lens Effects Highlights

•     Explore, experiment with and apply 29 effects and over 200 presets
•     Bokeh, (blur) to minimize undesired backgrounds and foregrounds
•     Filter characteristics like color tone, fog, reflector and more
•     Flexibility to enhance or change your focal point
•     Creative focus effects like motion, miniatures and dual focus
•     Depth-of-field adjustments with depth map and Smart Brush
•     "Apply" button to stack effects and create customized looks
•     Separate controls for adjusting background and foreground details
•     Enhanced sharpening algorithm, grain, quad toning and vignettes

Flexibility After the Shot

Traditionally, most lens and filter effects are interposed at the time of the shot. However, Lens Effects extends the functionality beyond your camera, giving you the convenience and flexibility to add any number of filter, lens, hood and specialty-camera adjustments after the shot. This type of control helps simplify your shooting process by simulating the abilities of your camera equipment inside of Photoshop. Lens Effects offers a more effective way to explore the many benefits that traditional lenses and filters offer - in just a click.

Maya Studio Projects - Dynamics Free Download

Maya Studio Projects - Dynamics

Art Gallery | Maya Studio Projects - Dynamics Free Download
.mov | project files | 1.4Gb

In the world of animation, the ability to create realistic water, wind, and fire effects is key. Autodesk Maya software includes powerful dynamics tools that have been used to design breathtaking effects for movies, games, commercials, and short films. This professional guide teaches you the primary techniques you need to make the most of Maya's toolkit, so you'll soon be creating water that ripples, gusting winds and gentle breezes, and flickering fires the way Hollywood pros do.

About the Author

Todd Palamar began his career creating traditional special effects for low-budget horror movies and quickly gravitated to computer animation. After working on numerous straight-to-video movies, he switched gears and entered the video game industry. Todd has extensive freelance experience, including dozens of military and game-style simulations, corporate commercials, and theme park rides. In addition, he has written several Maya books.

Overview

The one-of-a-kind book is completely project-based. Learn the intricacies of Maya's Dynamics tools and continue to build your skills with projects that increase in complexity. A DVD is included with additional video training.

• Maya is the industry-leading 3D animation and effects software; Maya dynamics tools create water and other fluids, wind, fire, fur, particles, and more
• Build professional skills in Maya Dynamics with this project-based guide
• Put your skills to work by completing a series of projects on water, wind, and fire effects
• A DVD included with the book provides additional video training

Maya Studio Projects: Dynamics is one of a new series of books designer to teach animators and designers fresh skills through project-based instruction.

What You’ll Find on the DVD

You will find all the files for completing the tutorials and understanding concepts in this book in the Chapter Files directory on the DVD. You can access the incrementally saved Maya scene files, all of the figures shown in the book, and the incrementally created movies of each project.

Each chapter directory is divided into subdirectories so you can easily find the files. Figures from the book are located in the Figures directory, QuickTime movies in the Movies directory, and so on. Note that the content for each chapter varies, so some chapters will have more materials than others.

All of the Maya scene files are called out in the text of the book. Use these to confirm your settings or test new ideas. The figures are useful to scrutinize detail that doesn’t show up in print. Some can also be used for reference, to match color and shapes.

We discourage you from working with Maya project files directly from the DVD. Maya scenes link to external files such as texture maps and dynamic caches, so it’s better to copy the files to your local drive, including any empty folders, to ensure that the example scenes function properly. Remember that you must set the project directory in Maya in order for the external files to be read properly.
