What you'll learn
During this course we'll go over using 3D that has been created both outside and inside Photoshop. We'll go over the importing process as well as the tools necessary to navigate the 3D space. Additionally, we'll go over how to create simple 3D objects using Photoshop's built-in presets as well as from your own artwork. Finally we'll build a final illustration that uses all of the techniques we've discussed to this point. Photoshop's 3D capabilities are a powerful tool anyone can introduce into their current workflow.
