Corey shows you how to create a 3D animation form 2D elements using Photoshop CS4 Extended. Click here to download a .MOV file with the final version of this animation.
This effect was discovered by a ‘happy accident’ and uses the 3D features inside of Photoshop CS4 Extended.
Further experiments into what you can do with texture images in Photoshop.
Create and animate a 3D wireframe using Photoshop CS4 Extended.
Sometimes our best creations happen by pure experimentation and accident. Sitting in front of a Photoshop file, you are 40 History States in, and then it happens…magic! You really want to be able to get back to that moment. To do so, make sure that you turn on the History Log checkbox in the General Preferences (Photoshop>Preferences>General [PC: Edit>Preferences>General]). You can save the information as metadata, as a separate text file, or both!

hi corey,
I watched your video on creating slideshows using photoshop cs3 but i just can’t seem to make sense of your comment about “holding down the shift key”. Here’s the deal….I have several imagemy files open just like you demonstrated. So my question is how do i get all of the images into the layer section so they all show the way you have them? I’m confused!
Heeellllpppp!!!!

Thank you so much for this! You dont know how many times i have searched youtube, google, forums on how to do what you did in ONE video! You are so awesome! Thank you!
For anyone who i still having problems saving it you need to save it as a gif, go to “File” then “Save for Web and Devices” I made one using cs4 but its the same! THANK YOU AGAIN!

Thanks a bunch Cory. I blew my brains out with another video trying to do exactly this. Your video is clear and simple and just what I needed today.
Thanks again,

I can’t figure out how to do this in CS4. The animation toolbar gives me the pictures in frames instead of the bar thingy
Bev said on — March 9, 2009 @ 8:24 am
Krista, I had the same problem. Did you happen to figure it out?
Danielle said on — June 23, 2009 @ 2:45 pm
Do the photos need to be all the same size? I am trying to use some vertical and some horizontal photos and when they transition to the next you can see the one before it in the background.

David (even though you said this over a year ago),
You would save the file using File|Save for Web & Devices. Then a dialog box will pop up and you choose the settings you want and click save. Save it using .gif
Thats what I do and it works everytime. Hope that helps anyone with the same problem in the future.
