[HD] 3D Spiral Light Beams: Photoshop Tutorial

In this tutorial I start with a simple 3D object created in Photoshop and to really show off the 3D nature of this object we will "wrap" it with light, specifically these light zips, or bands. A pretty cool effect and really as soon as you create the path(s) you can tweak and create whatever kind of effect you want.

wow the quality is amazing!!!! (what format and setting did you use)

[tutvid]

I export using Quicktime PRO using the MPEG-4 Video Codec, but saving as a Quicktime .mov file at 6400 kbps. 30fps and a keyframe every 24. Those are basically my HD (picture) settings.

[tutvid]

That sphere is a 3D object I created in Photoshop and wrapped with a couple images and then threw a shadow underneath it.

[KimCullen12]

Great thx for your help but you missed out that you needed this in a new layer and what keys you used :)

[coffeelover75]

Dude... I love your videos... you are great... quick question,.... at 5:25 you say click on layers panel and then you have all the zips in this layer... I don't have those layers... only have the background layer and the one with the placed pic... Any Idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Nice tutorial, do you have any idea on how to make those "rings" with text running around? for example if i would like to use some words to shape the sphere instead of the shape itself?

[hitachi654]

i don't think anyone but this guy actuall bought it i looked its 1000$ us for this v

[TheRawr901]

There's a sphere tool, he used. I can't think of where too get it from the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it's in layer > (something) > sphere, I hope you can find it!

[ChrishondaTheRealist]

Yes, it does.
