The Lamp
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006 running time 14:21
Bert explains the thought process that goes into making a piece of art. We'll see a complete project and then focus on Bert's attention to detail in creating a lamp in the corner of the larger piece of work using textures, layer styles, and the warp feature.

" It's."
" Hey welcome to another segment of pixel perfect would be -- Monroe and this show a fair few different things. Actually about the -- feature which of the -- that he has to. Show you some textures that new layer styles. For a start our -- about the thought process involved. What they're going into creating -- Bring on a screen what I have right now is the com. The idea though they are that was sent to me by decline and basically defeated nothing there it's just the space on -- where the unit was going to go. Now the story here was. -- article about home theater. Yeah I did they had with to have it home with if you're marking on it at that -- I -- so I thought about it a little more it didn't really tell a story. Because putting -- marking on top of home just like home is a theater opened the public. So I said let's not do that it's taken a different directions so I thought of -- com. And -- this. In which I took the theater and made it in the house now I knew right off the bat there once it's on the open door and actually sort of theater inside that would sell them. I knows that what I did that put the marquee above a door in the room. And then it'll dine at set on the left here a little table on the right kind of like a living room and that sold the idea. Based on that I then created the final piece which looks like this. As the final piece of it appeared in the magazine of course is doesn't have the headline and it but that was the final piece in which they've put a lot of the features in Photoshop. Now while a draw attention to right now is is table that here I'm good at that and a couple of very simple. In the matte finish piece that a little more detail. I went in here right and -- close and we see the detail and in the -- now Asus bios very technical out liberties -- but when my books on the table there. But let's look at the black. If that's a very simple details and got my food texture on the phase that's -- for you now. Of these guys down. And create a new file. Think I'm good 800 here and dot. I'm gonna turn on my -- Turn on my grid. -- they show grid which right now I'm gonna have kind of a tight mesh so let's go into my. Preferences and bring you back to its original state which is just force subdivisions. And it looks fairly clean out a little closer Pacifica see this area right here. And how to create my -- Now when the whole thing with my pen tool and that is a tool that primarily drool all the elements with understanding that tool is very important. So I have my grid here thought every time -- create some kind of a path it's gonna snap. They can really easy to create my -- now considered a shape right here that flying -- sex and right here to be my central line."
" From the start right appeared to corner and just click right there. And come down to about one box beyond over here click. And I got this nice curved line right there and out the other side of this. Thing is going to be on this side blogging on the pullout I handled right for him to -- a handle. There's gonna be a curve. And come over to this side one lives beyond where I'm gonna be click and pull out a little handle there and it is nice that occur going that's like that. Now going to option click on that point. I have no handle for the next line come up to that starting point click and have a straight line on the other side is the -- of the lamp close it off. -- clicking on the original point. That's the shade of the now quickly the body of the so right in here. And create. A little have a right they like that -- a second point and come down here to just about here. And click and drag but he wouldn't make a big drag about that. That borrow -- like that Kamal we here. Click. Pull this up to about the same this is that the otherwise and then close it off and broke her partner doesn't matter will be behind the phase mornings he'd. Now -- patent base the base and I start right here click come down to about here click. Since I can hear you have backed out of a curvature at the bottom a lot of handle. About that second line there come over to here click pull -- that second handle. -- panel by option clicking and come up here. There and close it off that's the base of the it will be one more piece at the top which we'll just do the regular elliptical marquee tool right now going to work with these paths real. We're gonna do is the -- down here now up pat they have all the path is important that means it's temporary. Let's go ahead and say that there atop path. Then you later. Quote that later debates. Database down here is going to be a mental and nice kind of copper looking metal so butter up -- select backpack. That that path elected not the others and they are doing going to happen that pat on those turn into a selection that that there about path. And it -- some callers that it is like behavior and is darker color but the background. And what might blend tool in new respect that blend mode like just a little gradient right through him like that. Now it's metal. So what makes them look like -- how it reacts like that that reflections and shadows it was my dodger burn tool and create those effects. Upload. Burning on the head back there and make a much smaller brush here and disposal. Line right through -- like that maybe one more right in there. Now with -- Some highlights. But a lot smaller and I'm just hitting my open closed bracket -- a little highlight right through there and maybe one right in there and one. It's like you Patrick. Now we have this life -- copper metal base. And out another layer. And all the player -- This is the body of the land. Itself but my path. -- select the one of the body."
" And turn that into a selection. I rights and now but at some means. That there's like bringing. And is darker green for the background and a gala migrating tool. And -- don't -- but this how to be a radio grade which -- the right in that area right there like that. Now. If you remember the original picture with a design going on there Howard and -- review of geometric design I want to spend a lot of time coming up with it. -- have Photoshop -- forming. In outer layer style. Double click on the on the layer upon layer style and I have the former here sat. Sends them as some nice so commonalities. To -- as you see right there I into the collar family who that caller. And I wanna set the angle to zero so it's gonna be kinda straight on these now it's center right in there. And the contour line to -- is a little more complex. As this one right here. Agassi was starting to do to a land about an -- the distance. And besides I can start to get some really bizarre designs there that looks pretty good. I click okay. At this point one which -- of that -- integrated mart Atlantis created now we have to thank who -- Another layer called the player. The shade. -- backed by paths. Selecting layer or rather the -- that has a shape and edit this election. And that's -- the same pages as we did down below. And hampered those -- and with that same radial gradient with or go home right in there like that. Now the -- Needs to be made of some kind you like it myself canvas perhaps for the kind of effect it. So on the do don't create another layer. All the slayer texture. And I select the long rectangle that's going to encompass the empire fade fade. The fact that and given that same. -- Idea. This one is gonna get the texture. Under filters I have a -- Nicole extract. And test drives are I have some fabrics. It comes up hero waiting for -- the gallery there's a shape. And I would choose have campus then it's fairly good I think that's a little more complex is burlap. Which is burlap that's really good I'm bring this scaling down so it's passed ball and when we need. Again a stronger effect these Obama really seen fabric now it seems more. There I click okay. And I've got designs that. And our need to do is to let it be seen only through the area of the fate to want to create with quote clipping group -- Buick flipping -- it. Right there -- that. We seek -- as to shape the -- or this trip -- stuff here means is nothing there. When it clipping group does is it uses that transparency of the nation hide the contents of the other layers. At a clip with this layer and he probably is that extends that transparent area disappear. Now I can do with the old fashioned way with us via the keyboard I have both layer selected -- a little hand going up and in the palace this thing. Hold on -- modify -- which -- the option key in this case. And now watch what happens when -- go between two layers becomes -- icon. -- click between these two layers now. See that the contents of that extra layer now and clothes inside the fate of the of the fate than anybody else back up. -- looks good except the fact that the -- is rounded and my text is going straight for us not good. We've had that text to wrap itself on that faith and that's where a new features he has to -- the place. -- I'm -- the -- of the texture. So I come over here to edit and down here to to transform their that you war. Bring that up it sets up a match the size of the contents of that layer. Do it on the distort those them but in this corner and matched to corner of the fate in this corner up the -- back corner of -- today. Same -- on the other side during this and and this up now play around the handles as -- as one around. Baptism of the curve in this guy around the -- that occurred in this one up and straight down quality that it just went up and straight down. Over. Straight down this one up. That now the bottom part and drag these handled out like that. Like that. Click okay. Now we see that the texture is now following the shape -- the final thing. Appear to call this little opening -- the opening. And up on the top there -- a nice though that's right along the top here just like that. And that -- here let's turn that off. Gotta check itself and now and then. It's something that's not working in Photoshop it's not working well don't immediately call Adobe we don't call me. Let's check your settings somewhere something is -- when I saw that circles frank I knew that at a better. I just think that go in there and set that up again selection nightmare. With this thing to -- and I think Dwayne pool a -- agreement top and they Wi -- we have the lamp. It's a bunch of little techniques. That put together to put together to create an effect. Politics we could pick is even further you might say to yourself wait -- the acting on the bottom metal would be reflective. Electorate which has created okay well I'm gonna duplicate the body. Of the land -- and the one back here and then moved out moved out of it. -- that and maybe even darken them Auckland by saturation and dark and little -- like that. And then I'm gonna bring down capacity of and then cut it with debates. Option click between those two and now I have the that we can in the base of the lamp Bob just little tricks here and there. Now. I'd love to hear from you I'd love to get ideas of what you would like to see you have any suggestion -- thing came up with that work something you couldn't figure out sent -- They're leaning on coming what you'd like to see. And it's easy to send it to me expert at revision3.com. There it revision3.com. If there is on your screen.
