" It's."

" To another episode of pixel -- meet on the show you all kinds of cool. Imaging stuff its Photoshop stuff but now been talking about is do -- shows from posters shows -- Before we start -- packed my idea sponsors godaddy.com. Where you get 96 dollars in free extras with a domain name from day dot com. Each domain includes free hosting. With the web site builder off -- blog compete email and much much more. Plus and that a code pixel it's in radio it's hearing and when you check out. You get your dot com domain name for just six dollars and 95 cents a year. Some restrictions apply see site -- details. You know these. Goes. And now. About the posters again. Puppet shows ago -- see those guys did you download those because a couple of shows ago I talked about the differences between Photoshop and illustrator. I'm gonna show another little feature of illustrated -- touched on Tuesday -- me. Feature of of illustrator this yesterday -- which I'm working on and today we're gonna print another 3-D object. A creative one. Now on my screen right now have a label. This label is created right here in illustrator it's just regular type in a little box little. A beige box at the border on it and so on Logan came up with then Sophia vineyards. -- something on 1989. Goodyear self. That's gonna -- label now in order for this label to be used at the texture map industry program. Turned into a symbol. -- Panel right here fact -- now or panels musical -- that panels I'm gonna take this guy selected and drag it into there. Right there I'd call it label. Given name will give it enabled. And can be a graphic movie clip so I have a lot of controls here that you would recognize for flash. But organized is the advertisers and click okay and there appears. And I can totally at a news anymore because now a symbol. I can easily bring that symbol and time. So now and create a one. Now we're only to users to revolve function of treaty. This -- using its true that take their words and make them so long. Well. In this case revolved. Shape. In a -- circle. So what would do is basically create a cross section that you took me follow -- credit Red Hat. That's gonna create. So that I get nice even just starting and ending point of straight lines stripped down like this which on the convert into guy. Under view let's say guides make guy. Now it turns it into a guide a place -- actually go in there and nowhere am working so now with my pen tool. I'm gonna go in here and start right at the guide and -- Point come over a little. Now my shift key to constrain it and it'll it'll shape like that. Come down at the -- And come over here in the program in just the slight bit come way down here and create the long shape. He would start -- come way over here and actually this little curl. -- curvature of the bottle although my shift key to constrain the next point click down here click and drag. -- all right down there and finish it off right at my guide. And now I know and here and justice bit or an -- that above and below -- just gonna move these guys over. That and maybe bring this. Move this guy up a little bit mutants -- the -- and that I for the curvature too this is the object that's filled with white. And has a no border. I'll and a switch that -- at the border or rather the the the past the the stroke. Is so with a -- accuse the color. Which is a color that's more -- only wine bottle send it onto my -- watch this here is things dark mean it there. Now my stroke is -- dark green to stroke is given that. Sense of shape that in the still of the stroke there is no -- as a full color had dark green stroke. -- For now."

" Now I've got to shape on the select that would make direct select tool so all the points to select it. Angle to -- effects that go down to 3-D. And media have three choices busy extremely -- I use this week and go to revolved. And revolve I get this little preview icon. And I can set off my access that is to say going to do it straight on from the front. And then I can easily move it over this way and down just what I want now I'm really serious economic preview. That we would buy preview -- be -- to see the effect. There we see the bottle. Alimony -- straighten up a little bit that's to straighten it up. Like that and maybe bring this down a little bit. I got this little bottle appearing and this might. A case tonight -- a little perspective to it. And it -- is -- he would start happened that started kind of tapered down towards the bottom a little bit so negative things -- happening. So now. I'm here have shading. So back over here and I say I have plastic sheeting more options it's gonna expand achieving area. -- go an airplane around my light source and move over to the side a little more. Or maybe bring it down into this area down about here so -- kind of straight on. He's gonna get this thing that relates so what's happening there. And -- that long kind of mystery now because they put it almost street on the red at the edge -- is Longstreet going down -- the bottle. Then go and Aaron and separate around my -- enlightened so -- can play with this has been biamby and light bound and its its gonna get a little darker. India in the scene. But it goes it Anderson now might edge on the on the far left there little darker and now. As a button here now art and click on that. And now you see goes to this whole lot of little section here and right now it's showing me this area and you know without in the model itself it's a little red highlight. -- show me where exactly I'm positioning things. I'm gonna -- here actually that a different side -- victory or until I find that particular side is that top up there. Is a little edge at the bottom then there it is there's the body of my idea. Bottle as you the other pretty pieces are. Now this might be the actual outside part. The other part was inside of the bottle member it was just a stroke there was no felt so his is nice strait area here. And I concede that's to see that's the right area. And a fortune doesn't tell you -- so in numbers doesn't tell you inside a bottle and so on. So I go into symbols and there's a little label. -- by the label right there which manei bringing it to hear. And here it comes there it's right in the right place the political here and shrink it that you see what's happening. And when that happened there. And move into position right about here. Let's see that's a good place for. There it is it's make a little smaller. Smaller. Like that. For a while to render it and I can shape the artwork which is nebulous lowers the right click on that it's gonna happen next and highlight going through it and negotiating along the edges as well say. So when -- click okay might. -- has been mapped onto this. And I can click okay and I have this nice little 3-D one bottle like -- my little guide. Hide the guide. And there we see we have to think -- 3-D -- Now."

" The 3-D here is very basic and creating very basic shape that I can import into my Photoshop file or you isn't right here. It's not a true 3-D environment like say a program like Mya. Where you have an actual environment where it like that perspective I adjusted there. It -- the perspective globally for all the different objects here it's dealing with individual optics. It's not gonna do a complete scenic how to cast a shadow if I'm gonna have reflections in there unless -- create -- reflection -- An actual image where I've created some reflections and then mapped it on to the space. It won't do that kind of stuff that is pretty much have to rely on those high end 3-D program but got the very basics. 33. A complex shape like this bottle here we have a more complex Iowa and new file here. And make goblet to go."

" That again and recreate my little. Guide that goes like that and we just undo that hold down my shift key to create that and I say make guide. And now I'm gonna create the goblet. And start -- my. Guy right here and pull out of line and Obama's shift key to constrain it and we'll go right up to this edge here come up. There and -- lip on top there come down here. Right down to about here. About this little edge. And back into this. Ship like that ethnic rounded human -- speaks them amendment that. And -- is the basis of the goblet and it's going to. And it there and I can go in there and adjusted the beauty of the path that can go in here and just investment to some more rounds in there. Rounder everything shape again it's a cross section so. I selected. As giving no Phil. And kind of color we like what is this to say we -- activity. That's -- and I do. Into a nice light -- Like you got it. That's selected come over here to my effects three me again with the revolve. And when economic preview you're gonna see that that little goblins would have been nice shape to it is my goblet. Now I can take my light source and bring it over to here and maybe add a second light source but going here and just give it another light source. Don't put him right there in my second light source and bring this on over to the side over here affect it but. Way over to decide to get another highlight on that -- over there. It that I got to highlights click okay and as you can see there's my little goblet. We can turn -- guide. And this is a 3-D object -- onto my appearance here. Angle it out to the effect double click on it brings me into the exact controls for this guy and I can move around so I'm going minister not a preview. I just aren't you can see into the goblet now. It's going -- at the preview going. About. And well. That's cool use -- to select the object on a select them okay go into that. On a preview. -- goblins again. And I gotta like -- you can see now we've seen a preview now it's working animal but like that. Then preview. And we'll see this little effect they're receiving inside a couple of click okay and again we had this nice three dimensional couple. So you going to -- And become a sculptor now start creating all these shapes that you can. Light in color into all kinds of things to it and -- all kinds of textures to them and so on and bring into your Photoshop documents and incorporate into your rules seen. Popular something from this one. Now want to see something in particular send -- Anemia. And Bernard revision3.com. Should be right here on the screen sending email and I'll try to answered right here on the show. Don't be offended -- don't answer you personally. Is a lot of emails so I tried it just. Answer a few and the rest of my try to just somehow create a future show and symposium. Popular something for us -- next week."
