Each stage should be completed before moving to the next for a successful 3D image.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Modeling:<\/strong> Either create or import the 3D model, also called a mesh or geometry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Texturing:<\/strong> This is where you add color, texture and surface properties such as transparency, reflectivity etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lighting:<\/strong> Not to be overlooked, adding realistic lighting can make or break a 3D scene. My VFX instructor used to say a well lit scene with an average model is better than a great model that is poorly lit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>(Optional) Animation:<\/strong> This is where you move the scene, objects, or parts of objects. This can be done in Photoshop too. Obviously not every 3D project will involve animation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rendering:<\/strong> This is where the computer builds the final high quality image frames and adds reflections etc. This is a time consuming task, so I suggest doing long renders at the end of the day or overnight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3D in Photoshop<\/h2>\n<p>Ok, let&#8217;s get started. Follow along, everything you need is in Photoshop CC and this will also work in CS6 Extended although a few things might have changed. Its totally different in CS5.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1. 3D Mesh<\/p>\n<p>Create a new document. I chose 16&#215;9 for mine at 1920&#215;1080 (HD)<\/p>\n<p>We need a model, called mesh is Photoshop. You can import one if you like. You can find 3D models at places like turbo squid, renderosity, google 3D warehouse, Adobe stock etc. we will use one of the shapes built into Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>3D&gt;New Mesh From Layer&gt;Mesh Preset&gt;Wine Bottle<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31081\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/3d-in-Photoshop_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/3d-in-Photoshop_01.jpg 673w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/3d-in-Photoshop_01-600x648.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/3d-in-Photoshop_01-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/3d-in-Photoshop_01-100x108.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You will see a promo to switch to the 3D workspace, do it.
