Photoshop to draw a realistic green map

Today, we'll learn how to use different 2D and 3D models, such as cars, trees, roads, clouds, and so on, to create a three-dimensional map in Photoshop. You can also create a 3D island of your own within Photoshop. We choose the grass and water materials used in this tutorial, but you can also choose the other materials you like. You can also personalize the island's shape on the map. Using a 3D action can make the whole process easier.

In this tutorial, we will learn to use a 3D action, some grass and water, and some texture of the image how to create a three-dimensional map in Photoshop. All we have to do is make Photoshop play super powerful. After the action is done, we will do some retouching and add some trees, clouds and any other 3D models you like, and you can also add some 3D buildings, cars, airplanes ... It all depends on your own preferences.

Step One:

First, we need to create a 2D screen, so we need to select the Lasso tool and fill it with gray. Or select the Pen tool to create a vector shape that you like. As a third option, you can choose to use the real map vector shape.

Step Two:

This layer uses the map shape "tile grass texture" to copy the texture of a new PSD file in edit/define pattern. Open the Layer Blending mode window and add "bevel and Emboss" and "pattern overlay" to apply your defined grass pattern.

Now this map should look like this:

Step Three:

Create a new layer on this layer, load the selection (press CTRL + click the layer thumbnail). Sets the foreground color to white and the background color to black. Select "Filter/Render/Cloud". Change the blending mode of this layer to "overlay", with an opacity of 65%.

Step Four:

Create a new layer and name it: The water, use the material "water" and make one or two options to increase its texture to make it look like a lake. Adjust the texture to make the effect more realistic.

Open the Blending mode window of the water layer and add inner shadow and bevel and emboss.
