Whatever 3D software artists use,
Photoshop remains a key tool throughout the production pipeline. The techniques
presented in Photoshop for 3D Artists: Volume 1 are intended to show how 2D
techniques can be seamlessly blended into the 3D production pipeline, resulting
in a high quality image and a versatile and streamlined workflow. The book
offers artists the chance to learn from a variety of top professionals, such as
Andrzej Sykut, Fabio M. Ragonha and Zoltan Korcsok, who willingly share the
tips and tricks that they have developed over years of working in the 3D
industry.
The tutorials in Photoshop for 3D
Artists: Volume 1 cover a variety of different subjects, from the initial
concept stage through to post-production. Pre-viz and concepts are explored,
showing the advantages of using Photoshop to plan and visualize projects.
Combining library images in Photoshop to create custom textures is also
featured, as well as how Photoshop can be used as an efficient alternative to
lengthy render tests by focusing on compositing passes, adding particle
effects, improving light and color adjustments. These post-production
techniques are becoming increasingly popular within the industry as Photoshop
becomes a more powerful and time-saving tool, enabling almost every 3D artist
to enhance their final renders.
