Very Detailed and comprehensive easy to understand bookBy Talivaldis TAURINSVery Detailed and comprehensive easy to understand book; In the complex subject of 3D.3D Has a big Future specially in 3D printing I recommend to buy this book to anybody that is interested in 3 DDisapointing isThe videos are only available separately through ITunes and has no windows ten version. Would like to see them for windows ten included with the downloadable Lesson Files. Also would like to see Photoshop Improve the 3D program in future releases.

A great way for artists of all skill levels to add 3D to their portfoliosBy Customer3D Photoshop for Creative Professionals by Stephen Burns begins simply as we follow his clear; step-by-step manner of presenting the menus needed for accomplishing a particular project. As we progress; each menu for establishing pre-sets for cameras; lighting; 3D modeling; texturing and so forth is illustrated and is accompanied by screen-saved images so we can see the project taking shape when we apply each menu. By the time wersquo;re into Chapter 7 (of 12); our handling of the menus seems to come naturally.Stephenrsquo;s use of short; direct texts combined with his many stunning images makes this instructional book a delight. The book demonstrates how easy it is for Photoshop users to work in 3D with third-party software; to import 3D objects; create 3D lettering; to output Photoshop 3D designs using 3D printers and much more.Although this book assumes its readers are familiar with Photoshop; there is no better book for discovering how Photoshop allows designers; animators; and illustrators mdash; of all artistic levels mdash; to take hold of 3D imagery! And for the many thousands who have met Stephen Burns at his Photoshop demonstrations and have read his numerous books; 3D Photoshop for Creative Professionals once again proves that therersquo;s no better master of Photoshop to learn from than Stephen mdash;especially when it comes to the otherwise complex world of 3D graphics.
