This product is available in Single or Multi User versions.

Single-user versions are for single student or teacher use at any


particular time, just as a single text book would be used. If you intend
to use the notes with multiple students the single user version should
be upgraded to the multi-user version.

Multi-user versions allow the school or institution to print as many


copies as required, or to place the PDF files on the school network,
intranet and staff laptops. A certificate of authentication is provided
with multi-user versions. Bookmarks provide links to all headings and
sub-headings, and individual chapters are provided.

Creating 3D Shapes
Photoshop CS4 Extended provides extensive tools to create and edit 3D shapes. This
chapter will introduce a few of these tools. If you are not using the extended version of
Photoshop CS4, you will need to skip this chapter.

Starting a New Document


1 Load Photoshop or close the current file then display the FILE menu and select NEW.

2 Set the WIDTH to 800 pixels, the


HEIGHT to 600 pixels and the
BACKGROUND COLOUR to WHITE.

3 Select OK to start the document.

Creating Shapes
A Setting the Layer
3D shapes are created from layers so you need to setup the layer first.

1 Expand the LAYERS panel and create


a NEW LAYER.

2 Set the FOREGROUND COLOUR to


a colour (for example, brown) and
select the PAINT BUCKET TOOL from
the TOOLS panel (it is within the
GRADIENT TOOL)

3 Click on the canvas to fill it with the


selected colour.

B Converting the Layer to a 3D Shape


1 Display the 3D menu, highlight NEW SHAPE FROM LAYER and select the SODA
CAN.
2 The layer is converted into a can
with the layer colour forming the
lower part of the can.

3 Select the 3D ROTATE TOOL from the


TOOLS panel and drag the can to
rotate it.

4 Press STEP BACKWARDS (CTRL+ALT+Z or OPTION+COMMAND+Z) until the filled


layer is returned to the screen.

6 Use the 3D ROTATE TOOL to rotate


the shape.

7 Press STEP BACKWARDS (CTRL+ALT+Z or OPTION+COMMAND+Z) until the filled


layer is returned to the screen and try some of the other shapes.

NOTE: Shapes such as the soda can and the hat can be created then
used in other images.

Adding Text to 3D Shapes


You can include text in a 3D Shape. To illustrate this a label will be added to a wine
bottle.
1 Press STEP BACKWARDS (CTRL+ALT+Z or OPTION+COMMAND+Z) until the filled
layer is returned to the screen.
2 Select the HORIZONTAL TEXT TOOL
and set its STYLE to BOLD, its SIZE to
72 pt and COLOUR to WHITE.

canvas and enter:

the LAYER 1 layer so that both it and
the text layer are selected.

7 Use the 3D ROTATE TOOL to rotate


the wine bottle. The layer colour is
the label colour and the text is part
of the shape.

Adding Photos to 3D Shapes


You can add whole images to shapes. For example, you could design a cover for a can
then add that design to the SODA CAN shape.
1 Close the current file, select OPEN from the FILE menu, access the CHAPTER 10
folder of the PScs4 SUPPORT FILES and open the VENICE file.
2 Set the view to FIT ON SCREEN (CTRL+0 or COMMAND+0).
3 Display the 3D menu, highlight NEW SHAPE FROM LAYER and select the SODA CAN
shape.

4 The photo fills the lower part of the


can. Use the 3D ROTATE TOOL to
rotate it.

Creating a 3D Shape
The 3D tools can be used to create 3D designs. Let’s use them to create a billiard ball.

A Setting the Background


A gradient filled background will be created to set a lighting effect for the billiard ball.
1 Close the WINE BOTTLE file then display the FILE menu and select NEW.

YELLOW.

5 Drag a diagonal line across the


canvas and the colour should fade
from light to dark.

B Creating the Layer


The billiard ball will be created in a separate layer. We will create a dark green ball rather
than black so that you can see the sphere shape a little more clearly.

1 Create a new layer in the LAYERS


panel and call it:
Ball

2 Set the FOREGROUND COLOUR to


DARK GREEN then select the PAINT
BUCKET TOOL and click on the
canvas to fill it.
