Watch the HD version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XPj0XdbkuA&fmt=18 In this video I demonstrate the new features in Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended. Today I will be looking at the new 3D capabilities not found in the previous Creative Suite (CS3 Extended). Features demonstrated: O Converting 2D images to 3D shapes - The new "3D" menu - Conversion to 3D O Working with 3D shapes - Moving the 3D object - Rotating the 3D object - Scaling the 3D object O Painting on 3D objects - Using regular Photoshop tools eg. brush, dodge, smudge on 3D shapes - Paint remains when rotating O Editing a flat texture - Painting on the flat texture of the object - Exporting it onto the object O 3D Advanced Workspace - Lighting tools - Materials - Textures - Other 3D tools My thoughts on the 3D capabilities I am very impressed with the 3D tools and how fast they are. I think it is amazing that I can use all the tools for 2D images on the 3D shape. I think editing the flat texture could do with a live preview as you are making changes whilst blind. There is a good selection of shapes eg. sphere, cube. But one thing that disappoints me is there is no ability to create a custom shape with lines. They should have added that feature instead of making the pointless "hat" shape. My thoughts on the program as a whole The regular tools run incredibly fast when editing 2D images and run a lot faster than expected on 3D shapes. There are a few minor additions which will speed up productivity which is very good. However, I feel very angry at Adobe as they say they have lots of new features powered by your graphics card. If you don't have a good system then these are useless to you. What Adobe have just added is something to make the faster computers faster. Not all tools work if you have a bad graphics card (that means me and my 72mb Unicorn :P). I will demonstrate canvas rotation, panning, zooming and other OpenGL features when I get a new computer in December. If you like the look of this 3D shape then you can download the improved high detail versions of it and other objects here: http://r0qwyg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pc3yBU3zqOjS-GgjK8GGnL3gbEjdNc_41JYfbIE... All you need is Photoshop CS3 Extended or greater. _____________________________________ A lot of people have been requesting the song in this video.
