Last year I wrote a tutorial called Incredibly Realistic Water Text in Cinema 4D and Photoshop where I created a text made out of water. I had to use Cinema 4D to create a 3D object then I imported this 3D file in Photoshop where I mixed with some stock photos. Now with Photoshop CS5 Extended and the Repoussé tool we can create 3D objects direct in Photoshop, so I decided to recreate that effect.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created in collaboration between Perttu Murto who did the art direction, illustration and concept with Sami Kuronen who did the 3D modelign. the image is called Nine and it's perfect for a wallpaper.
