"Once you’ve created a design for a product package, you may want to photograph it under suitable lighting conditions for showcasing purposes. Or, you might want to skip that costly process alltogether and create a packshot in minutes."
"The DAZ Studio Plugin SDK provides a very tightly integrated, fully object-oriented interface, which has been designed for maximum extensibility of DAZ Studio at all levels. The SDK provides you with the ability to add new functionality, interfaces, scene components, render engines, file I/O and much more, including the ability to integrate new components into the native file structure."
"Ok, here’s the image I found after googling ‘VW logo’. Import it into Photoshop (or just copy from google, CRTL+N to open a new document, and CRTL+V to paste). The first job is to make a selection from the white logo. Read on!"
"In Part Two, you will learn some of my favorite tricks - creating custom patterns and using Pattern fill layers. You'll be amazed how easy it is to create the appearance of an intricately tiled floor."
"I'd like to show you a little technique I like to use for a quick 3D effect. It is really simple and fast when you need some simple 3D on shapes. While it doesnt't work as well as some of the other techniques (we can talk about those later), it works really well for some."
"Bring 2D images back to life with this new Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended technique for converting grayscale images into 3D objects. This tutorial will also demonstrate how to generate 3D depth maps directly from 2D images."
"Get ready for an incredible 3D experience, as you view this quick-look at some of the new 3D features in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. This tutorial will take you through some of my favorite new tools for working, and experimenting, with 3D objects."
"Learn the secrets of adding 3D depth to standard 2D images. This Photoshop CS4 Video tutorial will demonstrate how to create an advanced grayscale depth map and then turn it into a 3D Mesh. The results will make images come back to life with eye popping 3D effects."
"Here let's play with the new 3D features in Photoshop. You will need Photoshop CS3 to import and rotate 3D objects, and the CS4 for the light features. Go to 3D>New Layer from 3D File. Then choose the 3D file you want to import. I used one I found at artist-3d.com."
"In this tutorial, I won't go into the technical and physical backgrounds of High Dynamic Range Image. Instead, I'll present you with a basic instruction about the photography of the images needed to produce HDRI's, the way to go about in Photoshop (which in CS2 has a feature incorporated that will produce a so-called Radiance document with little effort) and how to use the HDRI in 3D (I use Cinema4D but other software will differ only slightly)"
"I was surfing the internet the other day and I came across an ad that had an image of a computer monitor with a car looking like it was driving right out of the screen. This is a very cool pop out effect. Although this technically not a 3D drawing, it certainly has the feel of it."

"In this case, I knew I wanted colors in the yellow-green range, at least for the face .You’ll notice I eventually change this (I’ll explain how to do this later, without destroying the painting). It’s worth noting that I work fairly monochrome at this stage, so I can concentrate more on the values."
"Typography is a really hot topic at this moment in the design sphere and neon light is and has always been an effective way to attract users. Combine these two to make some beautiful artwork."
"Quick and Easy 3D I'd like to show you a little technique I like to use for a quick 3D effect. It is really simple and fast when you need some simple 3D on shapes. While it doesnt't work as well as some of the other techniques (we can talk about those later), it works really well for some. I'm going to use a simple torus shape for this. I made it in Photoshop using the circle marquee tool. I simply filled a circle, made a smaller circle inside of it with the marquee tool and then deleted the center. Sort of like a donut hole punched out of a donut. What you want to do is select the torus' transparency by Control (Command for Mac) Clicking on its thumbnail in the layers palette. This will create a selection around the torus. Now create a new layer by pushing the icon at the bottom of the layers palette that looks like a piece of paper. In the new layer, we are going to contract the selection by a few pixels. I used 6 pixels on an image that was about 150 pixels wide. You will have to adjust this value for your own piece. To contract the selection go to Select -> Modify -> Contract. Enter your value and then hit OK. Now we are going to feather the selection a little. Go Select -> Modify -> Feather. I used 4, but again you will have to adjust your value. Once this is done, we are going to fill the selection on our new layer with white. Do this and the you should get this type of image below. Now deselect the image by hitting Command (Control for PC) + D. We are now going to blur this layer a bit. Hit Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur. Hit the little Preview checkbox, and then move the slider to your satisfaction. It should not take too many pixels, I used about 3 or so. So now we basically have the 3D torus. Think about the light on this torus coming directly from the top of the image. If you nudge the layer with the reflection (the top layer), you can make it appear slightly to the left or right. I like the straight-on look myself. Now let's add some color. Duplicate the top layer by dragging the thumbnail over that little piece of paper at the bottom of the layers palette again. Change the blending mode to Color Dodge. Then go Image -> Adjust -> Hue and Saturation. Hit the Colorize checkbox. Adjust the Hue slider where you want it. Then increase the Saturation and lower the lightness value. Hit OK. Drop the opacity of the layer now to around 60% or so. Also drop the opacity of the original reflection layer. Now I am going to play around with the bottom black ..."
