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!

This was a truly great batch of tutorials. I use these all the time to enhance my quality and skill. Most of what I learned (as seen on my site http://www.sterlingprm.com) is from him!
