This video begins by focusing on the basics of working with 3D layers and shapes in Photoshop including how to set up your workspace and how to create a basic 3D shape or mesh. Then you’ll dive into working with faux 3D filters in Photoshop before concluding with how to create basic 3D shapes in Illustrator and importing them back into Photoshop as a smart object. Finally, this video will also cover where to go from here in your learning such as 3D printing, video, or creating more advanced 3D scenes using a product such as Adobe Dimension or Adobe Fuse for Characters. Through this video, you’ll be able to enhance your artwork or print designs to include 3D features.
