I'm Alvaro Guzman from Bolivia, Web developer and Graphic designer.

Before Getting Started
We are living on the golden age of 3D technology, we can see art pieces, architectural models, biological simulations, fantasy creatures, futuristic machines, and almost realistic objects everywhere. Most of those graphics have been through Photoshop, from texture editing to final mock-ups; making it a must know tool for anyone interested in 3D design.
Photoshop CS3 Extended allowed users to open their 3D files and edit directly some features like textures and lights, but CS4 takes 3D editing into another level where you can actually work with the 3D file just like most of the commercial 3D editing software. Even though Photoshop can't edit the model itself, it works absolutely well with textures, materials and lights allowing you to even paint directly over a surface using the Brush Tool. This is a very basic guide but some elemental knowledge of 3D geometry is needed.
Tutorial Details
You will need some 3D models to play with, I'm using a boat from telias.free.fr and a free-to-use model of a space shuttle that I've downloaded from the NASA website. Feel free to use any model that you want. Let's get started!
- Program: Photoshop CS4 Extended
