In this unique workshop, digital artist Uli Staiger walks you through the process of using source images, a downloaded 3D object, and Photoshop’s tools to create a striking composition. After combining source images and creating layer masks, you’ll add a 3D object, lighting, and details like steam, corrosion, and a stream of water. Finally, you’ll stylize the composition by adding a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer with the Soft Light blend mode. Along the way you’ll learn how to work with layer groups, textures, 3D cameras, point lights, and more. Select lessons feature picture-in-picture live footage of Uli working with his pen and tablet, enabling you to see and learn from his techniques up close.

In this workshop you’ll use some source images, a downloaded 3D object, and Photoshop’s tools to create a striking composition. The contents of this course include:

First Steps
This chapter gets the process underway – we’ll have a look the source images, then open a couple of them and create some layer masks.

Adding a 3D Object
In this chapter we’ll walk through the process of finding, downloading, and positioning the 3D object in our composition. We’ll also make changes to the 3D preferences and the 3D camera's lens.

Customizing and Rendering the 3D Object
The 3D object that we imported in the previous chapter is just a starting point. In this chapter we’ll make some changes to its textures and lights, then render it.

Final Details
At this point our composition is in good shape but still a bit lifeless. In this chapter we’ll make some additions and adjustments to add energy to the image.

The lessons are wrapped in a feature-rich interface that lets you jump to any topic and bookmark individual sections for later review. Full-Screen mode provides a hi-def, immersive experience, and Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window so you can play the videos alongside your application. Also included are exercise files that give you an easy way to try out the techniques you learn.
