PHOTOSHOP 3D

The process of creating 3D objects is called modeling. In 2D digital art, we have the option either to take a photograph or to draw the object needed. With a 3D object we have to do a few more things. Before we can concern ourselves with the texture of an object, we have to define its shape. So in order to define a shape, we start by working with what are called primitives.

Even if you have never worked with 3D software, you are probably familiar with primitives. They are basic geometric objects that have three dimensions. A cube, sphere, pyramid, and cylinder are all examples of 3D primitives.
