Once you have your pieces cut, youll want to apply double-sided foam adhesive to the backside of all the layers.

STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE LAYERED SEA ANIMALS Im going to show you how to assemble the Jelly - the process is the same for all the designs. You can continue to build layers of paint by repeating these steps. These are all the Layered Sea Animal pieces you’ll have when you’re done cutting. When you are satisfied with the effect, click Save Textures.For more information, see Set stylus pressure. Paint on required areas, modifying the Opacity value where necessary to subtly erase back through to the first layer.īy default, when you paint with Artisan brushes with a stylus and tablet, Opacity is affected by the pressure you apply to the stylus-the harder you press, the more opaque the stroke.The lower the opacity, the less paint will be removed when you erase. In the Color section, change the Opacity to be less than 1 (or if you have a stylus and tablet, use pressure sensitivity-see next step).Continue to progress through the grits as you need to remove less and less of your print. 120 grit will tear away material pretty quickly, so avoid sanding corners, edges, and any fine details. Change the Paint Operation to Artisan Erase. Start with the 120 grit and focus on the sides of the print.In the Flood section, select a Color, ensure the Flood All radio box is on and click Flood Paint to flood the surface with another color.Paint a basic texture (or map an existing file texture to the surface) and click Save Textures.This option saves the texture after every paint stroke. Make sure Update on Stroke is turned off in the File Textures section of the 3D Paint Tool Settings editor.

The studio also has a roadmap for the next PSD to 3D release, which will include OSX support, more robust mesh generation options, faster import, better texture management and interactive mesh tweaking that won't stretch UVs. "We're wrapping up another internal short film that is actually using PSD to 3D and a bunch of our store assets extensively," adds Gies. First up is a short entitled Giant Bear, which premiered at Annecy 2019. "There is so much coming up at the studio in the next two years," says Gies, looking towards the future of e.d. "We added another export method that would enable a Photoshop artist to create the exact geometry they want," Gies explains, "by using the Pen tool they can draw a mesh in Photoshop that will then be regenerated in Maya, point for point." Not only have Gies and the team delivered a tool for quickly creating meshes for 3D geometry, they've presented users with a new way to learn Maya. 3D Textured Replicas capture the detailed brush strokes and canvas texture of the original oil painting, as well as the vibrant colors of the original. It can also turn flat characters into solid-looking 3D models (Image credit: e.d.
