Try to watch the whole video, so you don't miss anything, but here is an index for you: - Geometry, 3D models 1:10 - Surfaces, textures and materials 9:56 - Lighting in 3D 17:24 - Rendering 24:15 - Animation 26:26
Hi, the materials setting no longer apply to Photoshop 2020 and now I am stuck. Where are the Diffuse, Specular, Illumination and Ambient please ? :) Many Thanks
Hi, thanks for the details for each topic. In your bottle example, what if you had the lettering in your texture, but you took away the black background in the texture. I believe you would have a bright green label with white lettering. In your example, you have green in the diffuse. I want no green just white letters. how do I achieve this? I am new so I could be missing something. Any guidance would be great. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! I learned more in the first 4 minutes of this video then I have in the last weeks looking for just instructions on how to use Adobe adobe 3D. You are very clear, concise, and well thought out! I'll be looking for your other videos, and sharing them with my other friends who are interested in 3D modeling.
Another fantastic video Colin but I’m sorry you didn’t show the final product. What does it look like when rendered? Can it be added to a photograph? Thank you again
Colin - Really this is the possibly the best "How to" training in ANYTHING I've done w/ Adobe programs! I used to do illustrations back in early iterations of Dimensions (which Adobe turned largely into a packaging mockup tool, much to my disappointment.) Anyway thanks so much for helping to explain this interface in PS 2020
Thank you for this tutorial. I was kind of scare trying to do something on 3D. But I think I will challenge my self since it can help me with Pr and Ae. It was very clear the way you show step by step. I do appreciate your videos and your valuable time.
An exceptional tutorial, yes Colin! every time I learn new watching your tut; keep it up. what is the difference b/w save as vs rendering? any way thankyou.
wow! I am indebted to you for this tutorial...seriously I have been searching for someone to explain this clearly. This is only place I can find any information on especially the lighting and animation meshes...Have you done an update to this? tyvm
Super helpful, easy to follow and well thought out video! Thank you so much for sharing with us the basics of how to create/animate 3D objects in Photoshop.
The best overview for beginners !!! I use Blender for complex scenes and animations. But for simple 3D/parallax things (especially for photos) is a nice addition the Photoshop's 3D tools. A real timesaver. Keep up the good work !
Can you alter the 3-d object inside of Photoshop? Meaning - if I were making a house and simply wanted to place a pitched roof on a rectangle house. My Objective: I'm trying to create a 2-d, desktop game map and I want to place several houses down and get them all to perfectly match the same perspective. Will paint in details later on flat image.
Hi Colin, thanks very much for this. I was hoping to add two objects into a scene to allow me to see the reflection of one in the surface of another,.. I gave up as it didn’t seem to be possible. Is photoshop 3D intended for a single object would you say?
This one is so easy to understand the icons and items we got here in photoshop! while I easily work with 3DSMAX, it was so hard for me to understand PS 3D UI, but this video enlightened me! Really Appreciate It! ;)
This was super helpful! Your explanations were really clear ! We are trying to do a project and wanted to manipulate our 3d imported object in photoshop and create a little animation but didn't know if this was possible. Thanks for your video !
I found it useful enough to subscribe and come back. Well done nicely executed rich with content light on opinion. Most excellent general introduction on a beginners level where I'm coming from. Thank you very much
Colin: Have been waiting for an understandable tutorial on 3D for my high school graphic design students and now I've finally found it! Thank you so much. I will be adding this along with all of your other stuff that I already use starting this fall.
Excellent tuto, very well explained, thanks. but my computer keeps crashing whenever I try to modify texture color. It also crashes if I go in UV properties and change something. I point out that my computer is VERY powerful though! Pfff Can't use 3D.
How do you enable/disable the mini picture in the top left hand of the work area and the axis indicator in the actual object? They aren't showing up on mine.
12:24 How did you create this black background ? Photoshop doesn't seem to allow the user to paint a blackground. I've been only able to create a black shape, the result is the same. but what if i want something different ?
Excellent treatment on common objects. And I don't mean that negatively. What I am looking for is what you showed us in your intro- the 3D alien bees. I guess I have to go to Maya to render humans and such in 3D. I'll check now, thanks for the lead. Love the Steve Vai guitar!
Please tell me that when i render the image the colour are totally different... they are not the same colour which i have applied... please tell me why this is happening is there any setting or something to change?
I am having problems with materials. When I add a graphic to sit on top and make the material clear plastic my decal disappears with the material. I want the material to be clear plastic and the image on it to be solid with a clear background. Think thick CD or DVD with the image on the flat disc, not the edge. The image is white with a smoke-like look and solid white text. Hole knocked out of the middle, very similar to a CD. Another way to look at it is how do you put the letters on the bottle without the black box label. Just solid white letters or logos with not rased area like this vid. Just getting started with 3D this was helpful but I need more. Thanks for this vid and all you do for the community.
Why is your professor teaching you how to 3D model in photoshop? They probably can’t explain it well because it’s absolutely ludicrous to model and render in photoshop. If this is something you’re interested in please look into Cinema 4d and if your computer can handle it Maya. Also zbrush is a fantastic 3D modeling program if you have a touch screen laptop. as an old head in graphic design modeling etc make sure to note unless your teacher has a notable portfolio and is known for their work make sure to always keep doing what you’re doing now find your own inspiration and your own teachers. By teaching yourself you’ll build a foundation better than anything you’ll ever learn in school. Also one last thing to mention, I have been using photoshop for work for almost 10 years now in the Bay Area. At this point it’s considered almost primitive and if you’re only learning photoshop you will have trouble finding jobs in the future unless u have Picasso levels of talent. I highly suggest becoming a pro at Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, and a 3D modeling program like the ones I mentioned above. Also many companies for some reason request for their photos and documents to be edited and created in horrific programs like Canva, Face tune etc so sadly you will have to learn those too. I recently had to alter my career and get into short video editing as apps are all requesting those little Tik tok video templates. Sorry for writing a lot you just seem young and it really irked me that your teacher is wasting time teaching such a useless tool for this program which leads me to think they are not telling you the truth about the industry. Also!! Lol one last thing make sure you research the city you live in job available etc. I had to relocate from Chicago to Los Angeles and later San Francisco as the Midwest only requests very generic graphic design & 3D modeling for the most part, have a small pool of well paying positions vs west coast and places like New York City have endless number of positions. I hope this random info somehow aids you in yo ur journey. No one told me any of this and I had to learn it all on my own. I wish you the best of luck with your studies! 🍀
hey colin thank you for your time teaching us all youre such a good teacher and do it in a really natural way, that its pleasant to watch your videos thanks a lot for sharing :)!!
Is it only me, but when I'm in the 3D photoshop mode the app often crashes. Also when I render I've been getting weird mixed transparent layers? Using a 2019 iMac with 72 GB of ram, PS 21.1.1.
Maya, huh? I'd love to try it, but right now, my retirement income is steering me towards Blender! LOL Really enjoyed this one, Colin! No worries, you didn't lose me at all! I've been using 3D apps such as Poser and DAZ for a long time, and have done some experimenting with the 3D capabilities in PS. Using all of them together is too much fun, and the results are amazing. I need to do more with Photoshop's 3D, and your tutorial will help a lot! Two thumbs-up, and of course... Like button = dust!
Maya really is the next level for 3D in my opinion but It is quite expensive indeed! The only reason i'm able to use it at all is because i'm a student and students get Maya for free. But Iv'e heard great things about blender, iv'e only used it a bit myself but it can also produce some pretty amazing things.
Can anyone please help me. Hitting undo breaks the connection between the 2d texture and the 3d model. After that, I edit the texture the model doesn't update. If I edit the model that texture no longer updates. According to hours of searching, this is a known bug and has been around for over 5 years. I cannot work like this. WTF

I find your tutorials much easier to follow compared to a lot of American ones that just seem to keep selling me products rather than teach!
You have great teaching skills and a perfect voice for that , well done tuto
Wow so interesting that you can create a 3d label in photoshop without having to create texture map, import it ext. Great tut. Thank you
Colin - Really this is the possibly the best "How to" training in ANYTHING I've done w/ Adobe programs!

Thank you very much. I watched till the end. Very much of benefit!
I've been using Photoshop for years and never event looked into using it for 3d. this was a great intro, thanks!
Great job..say do you think we are able to put a 'gobo' in front of light in Pshop 3d ?
hmmm?
The way you explaining is phenomenal! You easily walk us through the key aspects of 3d in Photoshop in just 30 minutes. Thank you!
Totally surprized that photoshop can do this. Is there also tools that will allow me to model geometry like in sketchup?
Merlin Silk it has limited modeling ability, however you can model in other progs and bring them into ps for texturing and lighting
I love the Steve Vai signature guitar in the background. anw thank u for the interesting tutorial
I wished I was found this video before so easy to understand! thanks Maybe I am going to share with my teacher!
Fantastic Demo! Thanks!
Super helpful, easy to follow and well thought out video! Thank you so much for sharing with us the basics of how to create/animate 3D objects in Photoshop.
I was new on Photoshop 3D and it got me interested.
The best overview for beginners !!!
I use Blender for complex scenes and animations. But for simple 3D/parallax things (especially for photos) is a nice addition the Photoshop's 3D tools. A real timesaver.
Keep up the good work !
Thank you. You made it as easy as possible looking forward to more content.
Very nice! Would be interesting to get it further to it`s limitations. There is no camera to animate, right? What about animating layers?
Not used 3d before and had no idea! Thanks!
very very Useful, thank you so much
One of the more lucid tuts on the subject, well thought out and explained.
Thanks Colin! Great lesson!

My Objective: I'm trying to create a 2-d, desktop game map and I want to place several houses down and get them all to perfectly match the same perspective. Will paint in details later on flat image.
Wow! That was massive. Watching this video was really necessary and eye opening.
Glad it was helpful!
nicely done. concise and clear. bravo
Thank you, that was a great tutorial to get me going... I can not believe I can do this with Photoshop! :)
why cant you believe it? It's right infront of your eyes, matter fact it's all over youtube! Do you have Schizophrenia??
Great tutorial, you explained it so I can understand how it works. Going to give it a try
Is it possible to convert 3d to 2d in photoshop? I'd like to create lines on my 3d object and then flatten the geo to 2d
Hi Colin, thanks very much for this. I was hoping to add two objects into a scene to allow me to see the reflection of one in the surface of another,.. I gave up as it didn’t seem to be possible. Is photoshop 3D intended for a single object would you say?
Good tutorial - I was new to 3D this got me setup
Im glad to hear it!
Can you please do a tutorial on how to use Layers while painting on a 3D object in Photoshop.
Thanks you very much for this share. You're by far the best on the 3D topic. Thanks again, good work.
This one is so easy to understand the icons and items we got here in photoshop! while I easily work with 3DSMAX, it was so hard for me to understand PS 3D UI, but this video enlightened me! Really Appreciate It! ;)
Great (very fast paced) tutorial. No, I didn't know I could animate 2D objects in Photoshop. Awesome! Thanks!
This was super helpful! Your explanations were really clear ! We are trying to do a project and wanted to manipulate our 3d imported object in photoshop and create a little animation but didn't know if this was possible. Thanks for your video !
Wonderful guide!
Very good and helps immensely

I hope they like it :)
This was very helpful... i learned a lot, thank you.
Super explanation!!
Thank you very much. This video was super useful and helpful!😊
Loved this tutorial! Very good overview!!! Thanks!
Excellent tuto, very well explained, thanks. but my computer keeps crashing whenever I try to modify texture color. It also crashes if I go in UV properties and change something. I point out that my computer is VERY powerful though! Pfff Can't use 3D.
Good video (but would like to have seen it fully rendered). Great idea to show the wider capabilities of Photoshop.
This was extremely helpful, easy to follow along with, and super informative!! Thank you so much!
can you change the axis point for rotations in Photoshop 3d ...like if I wanted a door to pivot on a specific location? ty
This was great! It helped me out and easy to follow.
I've been unable to use Photoshop CC 2019 because it crashes whenever I try to change any 3D material settings. Apart from that it was quite helpful.
Really good teaching skills man and thank you for the Photoshop lesson.
How do you enable/disable the mini picture in the top left hand of the work area and the axis indicator in the actual object? They aren't showing up on mine.
very helpful... thank you... and i did not know about the animation... very cool to find out... looking forward to your other videos!! cheers!!
for some reason i dont have a "diffuse" or specular button (at 11:28) just base color and interior color, any adivce?
Wow...very useful. Would love to see more on Photoshop and 3D....
12:24 How did you create this black background ? Photoshop doesn't seem to allow the user to paint a blackground. I've been only able to create a black shape, the result is the same. but what if i want something different ?

Adobe Fuse is in bata and it is 3D People and can be manipulated to make aline/fantasy people as well. That may help you.
Your video helped so much
Please tell me that when i render the image the colour are totally different... they are not the same colour which i have applied... please tell me why this is happening is there any setting or something to change?
Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Will be referring to it quite often.
Great tutorial.
Im using AE Element 3D.
Can I import the models from the element packs ? How would you do that ?
hello, i just upgraded from cs4 to cs5. can i use this 3d rendering feature to eventually 3d print?
Really great tutorial. 👍 (BTW I'm curious - who signed your axe?)
Colin when i hit the stopwatch on video timeline for the Cap it suddenly offset from the bottle before i did anything? otherwise amazing tutorial
Man, thank you so much for this vid. Saved me a pointless class with a thirty second vid 👍

Thank you much very helpful....
Hello, what the reason is I can't see the mesh under the objects? :( with the coordinates.Thnaks
Thanks , this boosted me up real good.
i was following the steps, but everything under the 3D menu is grayed out for me except Spherical Panorama and Get More Content. what should i do?
Adobe had retired these features in Photoshop. A while back I did another tutorial called “how to keep 3d working in Photoshop” or something like that
AWESOME!!
hey colin thank you for your time teaching us all
youre such a good teacher and do it in a really natural way, that its pleasant to watch your videos
thanks a lot for sharing :)!!
Thanks alot you really helped

Great video tutorial. Thank you!
Could you please tell me how to show that little window
Short but insight is nice
I don't get 3D grid plane, just blank background, how to fix ? Thanks

Super helpful 👍🏼 I thought I was going to need to learn Blender for just some simply 3D work. Great to know that I can just use PS 🙂
Nice video!
Can anyone please help me.
Hitting undo breaks the connection between the 2d texture and the 3d model.
After that, I edit the texture the model doesn't update. If I edit the model that texture no longer updates.
According to hours of searching, this is a known bug and has been around for over 5 years.
I cannot work like this.
WTF
when you pan and change the lighting angle and you loose the light icon from the screen how do you get it back?
I selected the layer, went to 3D, but options greyed out. What am I doing wrong?
when i try to render/encode the 3D animation using Adobe Media Encoder ( converting it into mp4 version for video editing) , the 3D wont appear. help!
thank u dude
11:06 When you change the texture it automatically selects the label texture too, why ?
I go to 3d press render and nothing happened! anyone has the same problem and know how to solve it?
Thank you
thanks!
Great .... Much useful for me... :)
