Help! Creating 3d Shape Without Ps Extended

Hi all

I need to redraw this shape in photoshop. I started by created rounded rectangles, and moving one under the other.

However, I can't re-create the edges between the 2 squares so I expect I am going about it wrong!

I want to learn to do it myself really rather than ask someone else to do it.

I have tried 'creating 3d squares in photoshop' but all I get is how to make cubes, which isn't the same.

Any pointers please?

thanks

Edward

Hi everyone,

This is my first thread asking for help but I desperately need it. I have these photos of buildings, and I need to make a preview of them how they would look if they were wrapped with currogated steel or steel panels.

Up to now, I've tried this method:
*) Create a shape on the object where the corrugated steel is going to take place. I'll name this shape Q1
*) Create another squared shape on top of it (Q2) , give this second shape the Corrugated Steel pattern and convert it to a smart object.
*) Use Transform--->Distort on this smart object to shape it like the Q1 shape .

It doesn't look that bad, but it's pretty unrealistic. If anyone could suggest any better method, I would be soo grateful

You can see the pictures attached.

hey guys i'm trying to create an artwork for a cone shape cooler with sizes (top: 1555.75mm , bottom: 1244.6mm, height: 368.3mm).

My problem is if I just drew a shape with the dimensions above and create my artwork with that shape would my artwork be distorted when it is placed on the cooler?

I'm really new in dealing with cone shaped labels, so I would be happy if someone could guide me through this process. I'm using photoshop cs5
Awaiting your response.

I am sorry if I don't use the correct jargon throughout this post, I am a very occasional user of Photoshop!

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended.

I want to create an "inverse" layer.

Here's what I mean:

1) create a new canvas.

2) Choose a large, bold font and write on the canvas (E.g. "Hello World").

3) Select all the letters (using the magic wand tool, click on each letter while holding down the shift key)

4) Invert the selection.

5) Get stuck, no idea what to do next. Try various things and get nowhere!

I want to make a new layer that contains the inverted selection as a shape that I can do things to like any other shape (e.g. in the shape library).

So, for example, I could fill the surrounding area with red and the letters will be transparent.

I've tried converting the inverted selection to a clipping mask, but after that I get in a bugger's muddle.

Perhaps I am going about this in completely the wrong way? Perhaps there's a better way?

Once again, I apologise if I sound like a three-year-old trying to explain something to an adult, but that's the extent of my knowledge of Photoshop!!

I am a designer who primarily uses InDesign and Illustrator and have a client that wants to recreate this gold and black gradient beveled embossed looking rectangle... however they want it in Photoshop. I for the life of me, can't remember how to do this with the gradients and changing colors. Is there someone out there that wouldn't mind giving me a step by step process on how to create that background box? I've attached the image. I know how to add the text, and all of the rest of the info, just needed help creating that outer border.

Thank you!

This illustration appeared in today's NY Times Sunday Magazine. I've been trying all afternoon to achieve the same effect in Photoshop using the photo of Charlotte Rampling (sigh!) as an example, but having no luck. When I looked closer at the NY Times article I noticed that the credits say "artwork by Michael Mapes; photograph of artwork by Stephen Lewis", so it appears that Michael Mapes may have actually cut a printed photograph into a thousand circles and stuck pins into each one. But still, it seems like this ought to be do-able in Photoshop.

My idea was to create a custom brush of several roundish shapes and then use scattering and shape dynamics to randomly scatter circular shapes across the photo, create a clipping mask from that, and add the white strokes that are present in most of the circles. (I was going to worry about the push-pins later.) But that didn't work at all... all I did was create an amorphous blob rather than hundreds of individual cirles. Now I'm not sure how to approach this without actually creating each circle one at a time, which would take forever. I'm going to keep plugging away, but I thought this might make a good challenge to see if anyone can re-create the effect.

Does anyone know how to create the shape for the orange captions in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37B5Zm3pC-A#t=29 Thank You.

I want to create a mockup like this

I know the complicated, time wasting way, and with actions etc. , I'm way too lazy to do that.
and since I just upgraded to the extended version, I want to use the 3d mode.
I already googled, found none helpful. Please help. Thanks and please excuse my bad English.

i am sure this should be relatively easy , but just don't know how ?? , i basically want to create something like this :



notice the "dots" are actually rectangular .

now this can be achieved with the pen tool and than using a brush and doing "stroke path" but there is a problems :

-- with the pen tool its difficult to get the circular shape .

is there a better way of doing this ? or does it just require better precision with the pen tool ??

i wanted to create such lines and use it like in a picture like this :



if somebody can give me a really vague idea , as to how i could , it will be great .

Thanks .

Hi! I want to create some car light trails for a matte painting scene.

I'm using a "Stroke path with brush", applying Shape Dynamics so the brush size is reduced as it approaches the vanishing point of the scene (1st image).

However, when I use a Round Blunt tip (to produce a more realistic effect simulating the light trails of several cars, 2nd image), I'm not able to apply Shape Dynamics for the brush size (3rd image).

Do you know any other brush tip that could produce a realistic effect (such as in the 4th image), while also being able to reduce its size via Shape Dynamics?

Or what any other way could I achieve a similar result?

Thank you!
