" Hi and welcome to pixel perfect -- on. Show where I show your kind of stuff. You know we want to know something about you. Here Revision 3 you know we are much next Kate TV guys and thought we won't know who you why because we're nosy. No really new want to know because -- know what it is that you want to see. And we need this information -- it would present really that shows you and get sponsors they can keep paying for the stuff you can keep getting it for free. Connected to take a survey you can pick a few minutes ago over to revision three's dot com forward slash survey. And so in a few little questions there. Confusing at times going to make it a lot easier for us to put on quality programming like we've been doing up now and maybe get better -- house. I also want to thank my sponsor. Mogul media. How these guys have been putting on shows for awhile XP called Barry -- productions they -- into it and name recently to mobile media. And it put on a whole series of shows ago around the around the world actually. And this one coming up in. In Miami February 26 to march 1. Good to be at the it's gonna be eight. Vector conference and pixel conference in Miami which I'm actually going to be at -- a couple of sessions on illustrator and Photoshop. And edited. Two day event then. If you mentioned this code and we see on the screen right here this mobile one. You'll get a hundred dollars off any two day or higher conference 600 dollars that's thats right a hundred dollars off. Human right to myself. Okay so. Do check them out it's www. Mobile media dot com as you can see right there on screen and the all about the shows that they put on there really good show that from the top speakers in the world. Coming into this and they do an incredible job. So now we're gonna do here how what that answers some questions that have come out okay. I what I do planets. I've he wants to planet's north east are fields and they want to see nebulous. We're all in the one they'll kind of relate to turn -- on that somethin' nice though. Planet. With rings around it out of space for some stars and nebulous behind. Siberia. -- on to Photoshop here create a whole new file. And it is nice blank screen right they. Thought that."
" Inverted right off the bat and hit command I to -- the black. And in -- later. Because we do everything rulers right in a layer right here don't create a little circle. Is -- circle right here. It's gonna be a planet. But right about -- and let's go to dinner but with a nice red ruby red planet. But that's not actually vehicle that's not gonna be to real -- I would create some textures here. -- box right on top about little round planet and another layer. I'm gonna go ahead and build out with a bunch of -- this credit for the with the red and we'll throw in a bunch of -- fact we'll even start. With perhaps a rainbow some going to my gradient tool here and on Tuesday. This guy here let's go with this. Which is gonna give us this weird kind of shape like that. And into that let's start throwing some other colors that's just going there and let's say we pick up a nice. It's a little green we'll have a little patch of -- there some. Plant life on this. Imaginary planet of ours and again nice big question not just total greed in this area like that Google's more whoosh sit here and there. And let's pick up some yellows so -- nice warm yellow like that we'll throw a little yellow into this area and we go in there. Go in there is little -- here right now going to give this. -- And go to my distort and I'm gonna give the wave filter. Which is going to mess the whole thing up is gonna get create this weird little kind of a break up to our effect there. And untie but I'll give it a little bit noise to the little noise just a tiny bit of noise -- say about six just as -- agreeing to it. And another thought I'm going there and give it. A -- rise of the world circumvented texture and texture Reiser. And here comes and he used the sandstone for the architecture. And that it puts up that we people who -- there's gonna be a strong -- going on just like that click OK so this is texture. Anatomy. With my little planet yet although my option key and click between those two -- both colors and now confined inside of my circle. So what I want to do not -- these guys we have privacy here. I'm going to go ahead and merged -- down merge down into the blast they become one piece. So I'm gonna select that. Select a little plan there. And then given another felt the atmosphere -- that a reason I selected it is because. When uses -- I still don't expect it to -- right now as we look at it and distort. It's theorized. That it seasonal. Other little grid grid down here that's showing us how it's going to distort. Now ready to select the actual planet it's going to distort the entire campus at which time we're not really going to see the effect -- by distort. Inside the circle -- by selecting a circle on confining the distortion only to that area of the circle. So -- get a much more announced. It's fair that's fair rights to right click okay DOC that we get this nice Ferris rated the green. The main stuff is bitter towards senator and it's kind of getting tighter and goals along the edges given that that's physical. I've seen cape and I wouldn't be selects. That it got up planet. It's going there angle into the layer styles for. And I'm gonna give it an inner shadow. An inner shadow in the lights going to come from see this side over here and the increased to distance. And the sizes of soft they. And -- in a little more and let's push of that capacity so we're really gonna get that sense that our little planet is being lit from some. Star way off to the right. Rights and now we have that. -- it's creeping star fuel itself -- back here want to do this right in the background. And go ahead and give that's annoyance. Give it and noise monochromatic who stays and is certain tells it right now the only black and it right -- doing a lot of noise. Lot of noise CNET. Click OK but right now it's just a bunch of static -- So -- on the introduce some graves of those days of Malawi to modify that amount of noise and go -- and Google are more. And introduce and grace is that now I'd go into my levels. Right here. And the levels and and push by blacks in so that the star -- starts to become more like a star if you think and the pollution might whites a bit. And bring this down at all there we start to see that we now have all these little stars and sky click okay. I'm gonna give that a little bit of a polar Justin -- just to soften up those stars and now we have this planet floating in space. -- Canada another layer on top of it here and -- that long the lips right here from the center along and it's like that. Now. -- could create a bunch of different rings here bunch of different shapes within this area not want to be able to. Shrink that selection now there is on this select the -- contract. But if you ever tried contracting selections multiple times that after a while since it -- punched up. You lose that nice who would brown this that I have here so I'm going to do with them -- my path and turned that's election right here into a it. -- assert save that path. And how we have pat the patent can be much easier to go in there and skill and keep that nice clean around this too I also don't want to scale it uniform. I want to scale the -- decides a little further into the top you'll see why I'm sick. -- we had that Michelin layer there ago and it's go find a color for our our first drink. That is to say we've got to go it is kind of a beach coloring that. And I go ahead and fill that with that I'll get my path and I say yeah. There it is so now I got my -- elected so when -- come over here to my transform papacy scale. So now. -- going to scale it in. And -- scale that -- undo that. And a scale that from the census on hold down my option buttons they scale from the center he says move all the sides equally and I'm moving it. Outside areas further in but the poppy bonds not as much he does is that for shortening that happens here isn't gonna see little tighter and -- these and hear what I have that would click okay. And now going to go ahead and fill that with another color. That's -- a little proud people brown. Who. More into the warm tones like that and we'll go ahead and fill that we're back. That's scale it again. Scale down smaller. And my option button scale from the center and -- to scale than just a little late that. Could happen this time to turn that path into a selection. And I'm going to. Delete. Okay. These selected bring the path back again and again that scale it down. So on this scale with the alarm all of them have some buttons scale -- down some more right in there like that. Make it happen and let's pick a brown -- from our our. Planet right here -- picked up this tone right here very close up first don't go ahead and fill that. And then. One last. One unless scaling. And down. And end. Turn into a selection. And deleted again. There got these nice little rings could be selectors. Got all these beautiful rings which -- blurred just a little bit more than that Obama. Remorse that just to soften up those nice little rings and a little softer maybe one more time ago elegant little. Noise just a tiny bit -- thing about may be for. Just to give it a little bit of a grain right there. For now I can take that whole thing and we'll do a little rotate on it throw paid our rings to -- site that."
" That's beautiful. It happened. And they gonna cast a shadow. Some would give them a drop shadow. Which I'm going to turn on my global like them up play around with the angles here on payroll of the distance. And let's go here and -- played around with the actual angles. Scuba like that -- that's the real good right there. It's -- there's our shadow. Annual click okay and that now I need to lure them. Play around a shadow I want that shattered hide my stars as we see you right here. Some gonna separate that drop shadow from the layer and over here tonight. Layers and -- layer styles and say yeah create layers. Click okay and then we see here that the drop shadow became a separate -- move around if I want to get it just about where I want it. I like that that looks a little better right. And I'm gonna clip it with the planet. And it took the shadow of the planet so it doesn't hi my universe out there and that I can go there and system race or parson of it and here that I don't want. Let's just erased this part right there. So now shadow is right on the planet. Now going to going here and turn the planet into a selection. I command clicking on the preview icon right there and for the rings right -- I'm gonna give it a mask. The mask is automatically going to see. The area that was selected right so want to do is take that mask -- inverted. Like that sit and now. We're not seeing it over the planet and right there we want to -- in front so who's gonna take the mask and painted with some white. Right across here to expose the front of the ring. I did like that. And a good. Now the rings -- just these little particles of dust the stuff that subject to shadows as well so what I would do is on top of the rings now. And create another layer and distraught as big shape. Just excel. Right through him like that. Which then go ahead and filled with black. I'm going to flip that with the ratings just like that and maybe give it a little -- ambler tests to soften up. That is a shadow being caused by the planet -- the reins. So we're getting there but left the nebulous. So and they are right on top of the the sky itself for the the expansive universe wrong reason that is that is a lot of ways of greed and abuse. If you remember a few weeks ago I did that pouring water. Well -- I would colors there you can create some bizarre nebulous that way but we're gonna do right now is that it's gonna go ahead and picked this nice bright red. And with a paintbrush. And I'm going here and increased aside I'm just gonna kind of throw in some some red tones like this or through here. Bring down the capacity a bit so that it -- through soft there. And we get these hoops homes -- and out of the can yellow. If this bright yellow and out through -- a couple of tones and here has been down capacity. And to -- company goes in there and here and you're right on this edge right in there like that. Right now -- going here and up I've spoke to told us maybe who try to envelope. Waves on this it was gonna do is kind of a weird thing maybe who can bring down the the amount a little bit just play -- And I'm just doing so -- distortions there -- pretty where. Okay so now I'm doing this is where the whole thing given another dealer. Doesn't Blair heard -- quite a bit click okay bring down -- capacity. Such as becomes as little hint of colors back there and there we see that now we get this. This great new planet here. Got a full screen and we have a planet with rings star as an -- nebulous back. Organize something from this now remembered there was a lot of different techniques involved there. Not necessarily for planets they can be used for so many different things each thing has its own functions theorized creating of the rings I -- the rings. These are all techniques that can be applied in so many different situations. Number to play the best way to learn stuff -- to sit there and play. See you next week."

Episode 66 [Discussion]
Bert shows us how to create a breathtaking cosmic scene with a planet, rings, stars, and a nebula.

i really wouldn't call it breathtaking. i was actually really disapointed with this episode. There are the possibilities to make a really breathtaking scene in PS, and Mr. Monroy didnt. I really would prefer it if you increased the show lengt some he could go into detail and really make something impressive, like ive seen on his sight, instead of rushing to cut down on the time of the podcast, and make something not really up to par.

Agree, especially with all the time the intro and ad takes up. By the way, did anybody listen to the Macworld Twit with Bert on the panel? He didn't say much but he did mention he's going to be starting his biggest illustration to date. I think he said he expects to be working on it for a year or two.

I liked the methods in this episode, learned a few things. But I agree with zbirdboy and silent.
