For 3D and lighting effects we all know that 3DMAX and other three-dimensional software is the best tool, but is not the only tool. Photoshop in this can also loudly say to you: Only you do not think of three-dimensional, no I can't do three-dimensional! Look at the following works, you may believe me:
(Fig 1) is it a bit of a TV-head three-dimensional animation effect? Photoshop has its own advantages of three-dimensional lighting, in some specific cases * for simple control, the production cycle is short, and for some difficult to model irregular graphics are more advantageous, in addition, it is not subject to three-dimensional software models and light rendering calculation restrictions, Can be made more imaginative and expressive works with the will of the designer.
System requirements: PHOTOSHOP5.0, the file of this example is initially set to 30x22.5cm, 120dpi, RGB color, 4.32M, completed when the layered map for the hard disk 123.2M, I used the computer PC for CII566, 64M memory, Mac for g4-400, 196M memory, The production is more fluent, if the configuration is not enough will be a little slower, too slow to set the file smaller. Hard disk space should be more than 500M, preferably at 1.5G or so, you can set File-preferences-plug Ins Scratch disks to specify the hard disk location used by Photoshop. When making, pay attention to save more disk. In this case, in addition to the early production of the instrument, the author designed to use 3 hours, the production of 1.5 hours. Note: Round scraping is a universal shortcut key, to be typed in the English input method, the side scraping number for Apple Computer shortcuts; Copy layer method, press and hold the layer you want to copy to the Layers panel under the Create NEW layer button.
The production of background light:
Back of the light is mainly to give a person a space and can foil the prospect, so the main color of the use of dark cyan gray to foil the prospect of high light, and the lower part with a darker hue can give a person a sense of depth before and after, the specific practices are as follows:
1, select linear gradient Tool (G) tool and double-click the tool, click on the Options Panel Edit button, double-click the color control block, in color Picker two colors are set to: R130 G140 B150 and R100 G120, Select the background layer on the layers panel to make the upper and lower gradient;
2, click on the Layers Panel create NEW layer button, the Options Panel Point Edit button, select Black,white,ok, from left to the black and white gradient, layers panel set to multiply, transparency opacity set to 50 ;
3, click the Layers Panel Create New layer button, ditto at the bottom for black and white gradient, layers panel set to multiply, transparency opacity set to 50;
4, click on the Layers Panel create NEW layer button, in the lower part with polygonal Lasso Tool (L) tool to draw a flat-lying triangle, in the tool panel select the background color (note: The top left box for the foreground color, the lower right for the background) Brackground Color and set in color Picker white,), with Ctrl+backspace [Command+delete] fill in white, Ctrl+d[command+d],filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 20, The layers panel is set to soft Light and adjusts the transparency opacity to 75.
"Hypoglycemic instrument" the text of the practice:
1, first to make a metallic sense of the bottom of the map in order to call: Click the Layers panel under the Create New Layer button to create a new layer, in the tool panel below the selection background color Brackground color and in color picker set for R175 G185 B200, Fill in the color with Ctrl+backspace [Command+delete], use filter-noise-add noise starting point, and set amount as 70,distribution selection uniform And then use filter-blur-motion Blur speed blur, angle angle for 0,distance 200, with image-adjust-brightness/contrest to adjust contrast,
Set Contrest 50,ctrl+u[command+u], to the colorize tick to adjust the color to a single color, enter;
2, now to do the text: English Input Method under (T), in type tool typed "sharp sugar meter", the font set as a new art (if no other fonts can be replaced), Ctrl+t[command+t], Hold the Ctrl[command button to click the middle of the control point to pull the right side of the point to do italic, loosen the ctrl[command] key, hold down the SHIFT key, pull the four-corner control point to adjust the size, click the middle of the text drag to adjust the position, enter;
3, turn into metal text: Hold Ctrl[command] key does not move in the Layers panel click on this layer to select the Word range, loosen the Ctrl[command button on the layers panel click on "Metal Bottom Layer", ctrl+c[command+c], CTRL + V[command+v] Paste to the new layer, which is "Metal Chinese layer", turn off the bottom layer and the Chinese layer of the "eye";
4, to Metal text: Press and hold Ctrl[command] key does not move in the Layers panel click on the "Metal Chinese layer", with the filter-render-lighting effects lights, adjust the direction of the original lamp from the left, Ellipse to wrap the whole text Negatev 36, point to live the lower left light bulb pattern in the middle of the text a new lamp, set light for Omni, circle also wrap text Negatev 4,ok
(Figure L2), this process may have to try several times to get the best results, do not do well can be ctrl+z[command+z] after the above steps;
5, do a good job of text after the end of the text border: Hold down the Ctrl[command button on the Layers panel click on the "Metal Chinese Layer" selection of text range, Select-modify-expand widen the selection range set Expand by : 8, hold down alt[option] key does not move in the Layers panel click on this layer to reduce the range of the original text, you get the scope of the border, on the layers panel select "Metal Bottom Layer", Ctrl+c[command+c, ctrl+v[command+ V] Paste to the new "Metal Chinese Frame Layer", press Ctrl[command] key does not use the direction key adjustment position makes it and the text alignment, uses ctrl+l[command+l] adjusts the brightness, the 1.00 numerical value adjusts to 0.56, uses the ctrl+u[command+ U] Adjust the color saturation and set the saturation to +20;
6, do the three-dimensional effect of the border: Copy this layer, the Layers panel click on the following layer, the layers panel on the normal set to multiply, hold down the Ctrl[command key not to use the direction of the key down and right each move three points to and above a point, and then copy this layer, In the layers panel multiply set to screen, move to the left up each six points, that is, complete the production of solid border;
7, the frame to highlight the high light to increase the stereo effect: Create new Layer button to create a new layer, and put this layer on top, hold Ctrl[command] key does not move in the Layers panel click on the "Metal Chinese frame layer", Under the tool panel, select the foreground color foreground color and set it to white in the color picker, select Airbrush Tool (j), select a pen stroke with a diameter of 50 in the brushes panel, and gently spray a few places where the high light is needed, CTRL + D[command+d] Remove the selection range, the layers panel on the opacity set to 35, copy this layer in the layers panel on the normal set to color Dodge, so that the highlight after the stereo effect is more prominent.
8, Red triangle: Use the pen Tool (P) path tool to check the shape of the small triangle; in the Paths panel, press Ctrl[command] key does not click Work path to convert to select range, click the Layers panel under the Create NEW layer button, Under the tool panel, select the foreground color foreground color and color picker set to r:100, g:0, B:0,alt+backspace[option+delete];
* Tips: "Copy the original image, and placed under the original layer, select screen high light mode, and then to one side, and then a layer of choice Multifly Shadow mode, in the opposite direction of a bit." "Is photoshop in the production of stereo images of a small trick, it makes simple effect, but the three-dimensional" height "is very low, the application should pay attention to.
The following basic production methods in English are as follows:
1, make the metal small square: Choose rectangular Marquee Tool (M) tool, draw a small side bar, click on the layers panel "metal bottom Layer" ctrl+c[command+c], ctrl+v[command+v] get metal square, turn off " Metal bottom layer "eyes, hold Ctrl[command" key does not move on the layers panel click on this layer to select its range, with filter-render-lighting effects rendering, the value as shown
(Figure L3)
2, small side of the border: Click Select-modify-expand 7, hold alt[option] key does not move in the Layers panel click on this layer, you can get the selection of the border, the layers panel on the point selected "Metal bottom layer", CTRL + C[command+c], ctrl+v[command+v] get "metal frame layer", press and hold Ctrl[command] key does not use the direction key adjusts the position to the Ziffong;
3, again to adjust the color brightness: ctrl+l[command+l], the number of 1 to 0.56, dimming brightness so that it and the small side of the difference between the open, Ctrl+u[command+u], the saturation set to +20 increase color saturation;
4, the following to do its stereo effect: Copy this layer, layers panel on the bottom of the original layer, the layers panel on the normal set to multiply make it a shadow of the border, hold down the Ctrl[command key not to use the direction of the key down and right move one or two points, Then copy this layer, in the layers panel on the multiply set for screen, move to the left up the two to four points, that is, three-dimensional effect;
5, now we again for the stereo effect to mention the high light: Hold Ctrl[command] key does not move in the Layers panel click on the "Metal frame layer" to select its range, click on the Layers Panel create NEW layer button, and drag to the top, Under the tool panel, select the foreground color foreground color and set it to white in the color picker, select Airbrush Tool (j), select a pen stroke with a diameter of 80 in the brushes panel, and lightly spray a few places where the high light is needed, In the layers panel on the opacity set to 35, copy this layer on the layers panel to set normal to color Dodge (light-emitting) mode, is not much more beautiful? 6, now to do English words: English input method under T, in type tool typed English, carriage return, ctrl+t[command+t], hold down SHIFT key, pull the four Corners control point to adjust the size, click the middle drag to adjust the position, enter The key does not move in the Layers panel click on this layer, turn off the eyes of the Layers panel, click on the metal bar layer, press Backspace[delete] key to play an English "hole", Ctrl+d[command+d] deselect the range, copy this layer, click the original layer below, In the layers panel on the normal set to multiply (shadow) mode, to make a hole in the shadow of three-dimensional, hold down the Ctrl[command] key with the arrow keys to move to the right down each two points, copy this layer, In the layers panel on the normal set to screen (high light) mode, the creation of three-dimensional hole in the bright spot, hold Ctrl[command] key with the direction of the key to the left with four points.
Background three-dimensional production:
(Figure 3)
1, the background stereo plane part of the production: Layers Panel Click on the "Metal Layer", ctrl+t[command+t], hold down the SHIFT key, control node rotation 90 degrees, so that its metal lines into landscape to call; Select Pen Tool (P) Use the path to hook up the stereo overlooking plane shape (figure L4), in the Paths panel, press Ctrl[command] key does not click Work path conversion to select Range, Ctrl+c[command+c], Ctrl+v[command+v] get the top view of metal, CTRL+T[COMMAND+T], hold the Ctrl[command key and adjust the four adjustment points to get the stereo perspective position, as shown
(Figure l5-1, figure l5-2, figure l5-3, Figure l5-4,) if you want to pull the control point to the surface, with a magnifying glass to hold alt[option] to reduce; with filter-render-lighting effects, adjust the direction of the original lamp from the top left, The ellipse is to wrap the entire graph Negatev 18, add a omni lamp, range for the middle light size Negatev 21
(Figure L6)
2, now the production of a high level of the stereo section: Ctrl+alt[command+option] key to the left interval by the direction of the key each 17 times, in fact, to the lower left to copy 17 layers, in addition to the bottom of the original layer outside, The rest of the layers in the Layers panel all click on the right side of the box link up, select the layers panel on the right of the small triangle under the merge linked synthesis of the replication layer, and drag the layer below the original layer, select linear gradient Tool (G) tool and double-click the tool, On the Options panel, click the Edit button, double-click the color control block, in color picker the two colors are set to: R34 G38 B45 and R85 G97 b105,layers Panel on the background layer, to make a deep shallow gradient;
* Tips: Smart readers have seen that copying so much is only to get the shape of the stereo height part. Yes, "to three-dimensional direction of continuous duplication of plane layer and merge all duplicate layer" is to get the three-dimensional height part of the shape of the small technique, when the three-dimensional plane shape complex when this technique can show its convenience, otherwise we can only use paths a pen hook. However, the three-dimensional height of the method is equal, there is no perspective of near and far size, and it should be noticed in application.
3, now bright stereo height of the bright part to strengthen the three-dimensional: Select Pen Tool (P) tool to check out the bright part of the three-dimensional height of the figure, the concrete figure is six One-fourth arcs at both ends of 12 parallelogram,
(Figure L7)
In the Paths panel, press Ctrl[command] key does not click Work path to select range, with Ctrl+l[command+l] to light it up, the value of 1 to 1.13,ctrl+d[command+d] deselect range, Then use the Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 3 to make the whole height part of the virtual;
* Skills Summary: In fact, we may have seen using Photoshop 3D, stereo height part of the light and shade changes is more difficult to show, because the reflection and refraction of the image are a stroke, the workload is very large. So this example uses a little trick: the height of the part of a slight touch paste and the gradient of the way to dilute, so that the height of the part does not become the focus of vision, but only to foil its plane part, do not forget the plane part of our strengths! So from the overall view of the effect is not bad, this is swagger short.
The highlight of the upper left is made:
(Figure 4)
1, the production of round highlights: No 3,721 first put an oval white ball is correct, a new layer, hold down the SHIFT key do not use the M-key to select the Ellipse tool, hold alt[option] do not move in the highlight position to draw an ellipse, the tool panel below the selection of the foreground color foreground Color and in color picker set to white, alt+backspace color, ctrl+d[command+d] Remove the selection range, with Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 30, In the layers panel on the opacity set to 23, copy this layer, the layers panel on the normal set to color Dodge, opacity set to 53; 2, the production of hexagonal star highlights: Select Pen Tool (P) tick six angular star,
(Figure L8)
In the Paths panel, press the Ctrl[command] key without clicking work path to the selection, click the Create New Layer button under the Layers panel, select the foreground color below the tool panel foreground color and the color Picker set to white, alt+backspace[option+delete] color, hold down the Shift key do not use the M-key to select the Ellipse tool, hold down the Alt+shift[option+shift button, with a hexagonal star center to select a larger circle, For the following fuzzy selected center, filter-blur-radial Blur, selected zoom for emission blur, set amount to 100, quality selected good, carriage return, ctrl+f[command+f] three times to enhance the emission blur, CTRL + D[command+d] Remove the selection, and then use Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 3 To remove the clutter, on the layers panel to set the normal to color Dodge, and the layers panel on the transparency opacity set to 50.
* Tips: "white blur after copying, a layer of color Dodge mode, the next layer of normal mode" can be said to play high light, draw points, line light source of the super will kill technology, the hundred trial unhappy. What, too bright, eyes open!? Increase the transparency of these two tiers.
The production of the foreground light and shade:
Do not doubt, the future of the instrument is also in Photoshop, the author is in the design of this manuscript in accordance with the film before the other, because the photo color, light sense, precision is poor, had to repaint. Because the production is too complex, this space is limited to omit not to write, I hope that in the future have the opportunity to give you a detailed introduction, you can first use a favorite image of your back to replace the instrument-up warriors?
1. The shape on the left of the shadow below is a complement to the shape of the device: Select the pen Tool (P) tool to check out the shape of the left-hand shadow,
(Figure L9), in the Paths panel, press Ctrl[command] key Click Work path to select range, hold down SHIFT key and then click the Layers panel of the instrument layer to add its range, click on the Layers panel under Create New Layer button, select the foreground color below the tool panel foreground color and set the color picker to black, alt+backspace[option+delete] color, ctrl+d[command+d] deselect the range, Place this layer under the instrument layer, ctrl+t[command+t], and pull the top down to the height of 1/3,
(Figure L10)
Use the Filter-blur-gaussian Blur fuzzy 13,layers panel to set the normal to multiply, hold down the Ctrl[command key without using the direction key to move down two (Fig 5);
2, the back like the vapor-like light is designed on the imaginary, the purpose is to use the effect of better contrast instrument. Its production is: a new layer and placed under the instrument layer, press Ctrl[command] key does not strike the instrument layer, in the tool panel below the selection of the foreground color foreground color and in the color picker set to white, alt+backspace[option+ Delete], press shift to rotate counterclockwise 90 degrees to do the back of the hair effect, because Photoshop can only horizontal blow, with filter-stylize-wind wind effect, ctrl+f blow four times, Then use Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 7, and then use Ctrl+t[command+t], press shift to rotate clockwise 90 degrees to turn it back, layers panel to set normal to color Dodge, and copy this layer;
(Figure 6)
3, do the reflection effect: Copy the instrument layer, Edit-transform-flip vertical,ctrl+t[command+t] Select the center move to the instrument along, and then press Ctrl[command] key do not strike the center of the left side of the control point down to pull down with the instrument along the line,
(Figure L11)
On the layers panel, the normal is set to the lighten (light and shadow mode); The following plus a hood to the instrument along the virtual point: Click the Layers panel under Add Layer mask to add a hood, select linear gradient Tool (G) and double-click the tool, In the Options Panel Point Edit button, double-click the color control block, in color Picker two colors are set to black, white, perpendicular to the shadow direction of the gradient, if the painting can be reversed ctrl+z[command+z] after the reverse painting.
(Figure 7)
* Tips: Overlay effect in the lighten (light and light) mode is the best choice for reflection and glass refraction, the use should pay attention to the image and the mirror of the perspective relationship between the object, and then make a virtual point more lifelike.
