Last year I was learning how to use the 3D features in Photoshop and I did an image mixing a 3D robot with a photography and some dragons in vector. After quite sometime I was checking my images and found it, so I decided to write a tutorial showing how I did that. And, also play a bit more with the new 3D features in Adobe CS4.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create an sort of video-game style image with dragons, fire, smoke, robots and other crazy things.
The wallpaper of this week a super cool image created by Alex Varanese, a graphic designer and creative director from the bay area, San Francisco, USA. We have already featured Alex here on Abduzeedo, his work has a very stylish and retro feel.
The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
