ptg 496 Chapter 20 the ground plane is a grid that reflects the position of the ground relative to the 3D model. Instead of starting from scratch, you can create a 3D model from a pre- set shape. The preset shapes include cone, cube, cube wrap, cylinder, donut, hat pyramid, ring, soda can, sphere, spherical panorama, and wine bottle. Some of the shapes use a single-mesh, such as the hat or sphere, while others use multiple-meshes, such as the soda can or wine bottle. You can also add your own custom shapes by creating a Collada DAE file, and placing it in the Presets/Meshes folder inside the Photoshop program folder. A 2D layer is converted to a 3D layer in the Layers panel. The original 2D layer appears as a Diffused texture map, and may be used on one or more surfaces in the 3D model. Creating 3D Models Using Preset Shapes Create and Modify a 3D Model from a Shape Open a document, and then select the 2D layer you want to use. Click the 3D menu, point to New 3D Shape from Layer, and then select a shape option. Select the 3D panel. Use the four area buttons (Scene, Mesh, Materials, and Lights) to display and change properties of your new 3D object. Select one of the navigation tools on the 3D panel, toolbox, or Options bar, such as 3D Rotate to move the image in a 3D space. Or, use the Axis Widget. The three colored areas represent the three axes (x, y, z) of the object. ◆ You can also highlight parts of the widget to isolate the movements or scaling of the object to specific axes. Use commands on the 3D menu or options on the 3D panel to modify the 3D model. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 5 6 1 3 5 4 7 To ol bo x 3D panel From the Library of Wow! eBook ptg Render settings determine how 3D models are drawn in Photoshop. You can use one of the presets with common settings, or customize your own settings and create your own presets. The default presets include bounding box, line illustration, paint mask, shaded illustration, and shaded or solid wireframe. You can change the preset render settings in the 3D panel, however the more specific options are available in the Render Settings dialog box.

If you have a texture layer, you can edit it using standard Photoshop tools and reapply the texture to the 3D model. 3D models contain several components, which can include meshes, materials, and lights. A mesh provides the underlying frame structure for the 3D model. Materials are applied to a mesh to create the appearance and lights apply intensity and shadows to the materials on the 3D model. Photoshop provides pan- els for each so you can make adjustments. Modifying 3D Models Modify a 3D Model Open a document with the 3D model you want to edit. Select the 3D panel. Click any of the following buttons in the 3D panel to change a 3D model: ◆ Scene. Choose from 17 render preset settings. Select properties to a display quality, a texture map for painting on a 3D model, or create and view cross sections of the 3D model by intersecting it with an invisible plane. ◆ Mesh.
