On this week’s episode of Photoshop User TV Dave Cross demonstrated one of the new 3D plug-ins for Photoshop CS3 Extended, available from Strata. He uses the new Strata Design 3D[in] to import a generic 3D model and give it some lighting effects using the Strata’s familiar interface. With Dave being a relative newcomer to 3D apps, you can see how easy it is to get through the basics and achieve some really interesting effects. Also available is the Strata Foto[in] which can take a series of photos and turn them into a 3D model and Strata Live[in] which lets you generate Live 3D web and PDF pages from Photoshop layouts. Get more info about these plug-ins here.

You know those scale markers they have on maps that say that 1″ equals 1 mile? Well, Photoshop can create something called Scale Markers. These are measurement guides that are created based on the measurement scale you use. Once a measurement scale is established, go under the Analysis menu and choose Place Scale Marker. In this example, I have established my measurement scale to interpret 100 pixels as 1″ in a file that’s 10″ wide at 100 dpi. So if I want to create a 3″ scale marker, then I would enter 3 in the Length field. I can also choose to display text as a label for the marker. You can choose its color and placement depending on the file.
