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!

Yes, please tell us how that background was made.
mitzs said on — May 16, 2008 @ 1:18 am
Wouldn’t you do the background the same way as corey did the girl with color burn under the blending mode to a new document and then add your pictures and text?
This one really rocked Corey. Thank you!

Josh said on — July 26, 2008 @ 4:00 pm
Once again an excellent tutorial! i loved the outcome of my picture.
though I must admit it came out a lot different than yours, mainly because i used a different source pic for my BG…if you could elaborate in a future tut on how to create the kind of BG you used, I, along with some others apparently would be very appreciative!
thanks again! keep em coming!!
regards
Josh

Hi Corey
I really enjoyed following this tutorial so much I went and got the Disney Wild West Show hat from the top of my wardrobe to create this image. I also added bullet holes from your tutorial on making bullet holes. It looks really effective I think.

This is great. One of the most helpful tutorials I’ve seen. The only problem I’m having is I can’t figure out how to add multiple gradients to my layer masks. When I click and drag the gradient for another side, it just replaces the previous one. Any help?
