Stock Images and Inspiration

 

I have gotten several requests or questions about where to get some really good stock images. While there are a number of sites that have good images at varying prices, there are two that I visit frequently. The first is iStockPhoto.com. They have a large database of images, illustrations, and videos, all at varying price ranges for different uses. The second site is Fotolia.com. This site offers remarkable images and illustrations at comparable pricing to iStock. I frequent both of these sites, not just to purchase images, but also to do a little idea harvesting. These sites offer images and illustrations that other users have done and it can be quite an inspiration to just search through and just get ideas. Give it a try. You may find that spark.

Modify Textures on 3D Objects

If you have imported a 3D object that has a texture applied to it, that texture will show up as a sublayer with your 3D layer. To modify or replace the existing texture, simply double-click directly on the texture name in the Layers panel. A dialog will open with the 2D texture. Make whatever changes you need, then close and save the document. Just like a Smart Object, it will update automatically in the main document.
