IN THIS PART

• Chapter 3 Editing the Texture of a 3D Object

• Chapter 4 Adding Layers to a 3D Object to Change Its Appearance

• Chapter 5 Adding a Layer Style to a 3D Object

• Chapter 6 Creating a Fill or Adjustment Layer over a 3D Object

Editing a 3D model can consist of editing the texture that is placed over the 3D model or applying a style or filter over the 3D model. You will learn how to open the texture of a 3D model, and from there you can use any of the powerful Photoshop editing tools to make changes to it. You can use your improved texture on your object in Photoshop, or you can replace the original texture in your 3D file.

You will also learn how to convert a 3D model into a Smart Object to place a filter or style on it and how to add a fill or adjustment layer to it.

Finally, you will learn how to use all of these tools and more to create image composites combining 3D models, images, and your own Photoshop paint.
