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!

Awesome new video. Learned a lot. You are great at these things. I also liked how you provided a download. Maybe you could do this from now on?
Have a great weekend.

Corey you rock. I looked forward to Fridays, for the movie tutorials. Thanks a bunch
Devlin said on — June 9, 2009 @ 2:31 pm
That was awesome! Thanks! I really liked how you created the fake 3D effect. Would grabbing a stock texture be better than using clouds?

Photojunkie said on — June 12, 2009 @ 6:54 am

Rafael Gomez said on — June 12, 2009 @ 2:04 pm
Thanks Corey. I can always count on you to teach me something new or a cool way to do something I’ve done a million times.

Mark said on — June 13, 2009 @ 3:32 pm
Great tutorial, but the shift + opt + cmd + T step and repeat section doe not work, it just leaves me a empty section. I went through your tutorial 10 times and it still does not work
Mark said on — June 13, 2009 @ 3:50 pm
Still trying to make this work but the step and repeat does not leave the fill in front. Anybody knows how to get it to fill during the step and repeat please let me know
Tak said on — June 14, 2009 @ 11:57 pm
This is so cool. I tried it first time and it did not work, but once I follow the instruction again, it worked like magic. Thanks Corey!!
Ray Mabry said on — June 16, 2009 @ 2:38 pm
Corey, you rock. Fantastic tutorial. Every time I watch one of you tutorial I realize just how much I don’t know. This is a good thing as it pushes me to continue learning. Thanks

Narendra.s.v said on — June 19, 2009 @ 12:52 pm
All i can say is WOW
but the last 3D part is bit confusing! I better do it in illustrator
Val Ery said on — June 22, 2009 @ 12:09 pm
It,s Great tutor!!!
But, my knowledge of English does not understand one thing : free transform at 100,1%… I have done through “action”…
Would like a written version of the lesson…
Thanks Corey!!!
Derya ELMAS said on — June 22, 2009 @ 2:58 pm

minisite design said on — June 28, 2009 @ 9:48 pm
this is perfect!! Love your information Corey! I’ll bookmarked your blog! thanks
Mark said on — July 1, 2009 @ 7:20 pm
for some reason of my power pc mac the step and repeat works like corey said, but on my intel mac, you need to do a return between every step and repeat.
ZeroGrafics said on — July 4, 2009 @ 10:20 pm
Corey, you are amazing. I had no idea you could pull off the 3D affect like that. I always just nudged it… lol, for this tutorial I had to do the free transform 50 times! lol GREAT tutorial though. I will be posting a link to you on my profile. ~ZeroGrafics
ZeroGrafics said on — July 4, 2009 @ 10:44 pm
I realized that mine doesn’t actually look as realistic as yours, Corey, because I didn’t have the forethought to have my top word resting on top of my bottom word (which is realistic) – instead it is just sort of hovering in mid air. lol Oh well! Live and learn. Here is what I made:
