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 is a really nice 3D image created by Ali Rahmoun, also known as Saltshaker911 at DeviantArt. The 3D concept was done while he was playing in 3DSMax. As we always encourage you to play with the tools, nothing better than feature some images from those who do that :)
The book suggestion of this week is about branding and it's a recommendation from one of our favorite graphic designers out there, Roger Oddone. The book is called Designing Brand Identity: An Essential Guide for the Whole Branding Team and it covers everything you need to know about branding, from its definition to how come up with the most efficient strategy.
