Here are some examples that I did:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 1</b>: So start creating a new document (the size is up to you, I used 1366x768 for the project). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 2:</b> Fill your Background layer with Black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 3: </b>Create a new Layer on Top of our Background layer and drag with the elipse tool by holding Shift a perfect circle. I use all shape Tools with Fill Pixels selected. The circle should be white colored when you create it so you can see how big it is but then make sure you invert it (Ctrl + I inside the circle layer to switch from pure white to pure black). So in the end you should have a black circle on a black background on short. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 4: </b>Right click the Circle Layer and go to Blending Options. This is where the magic happens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the following settings for creating this kind of badge, but you can try and experiment with your own:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You should end up with something like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zjcKF73d3mqP9wV-0k94iTasncPlpmRiKPifC9omPZaic5ZCcz57I2IF3mjfq616g6GE78fbajaT-4xYxWn_VdL27METkcs_9mm7iAMFhuclJmwJqk_5exsRReDtkaaKN98iDd-Zf3I/s1600/First.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zjcKF73d3mqP9wV-0k94iTasncPlpmRiKPifC9omPZaic5ZCcz57I2IF3mjfq616g6GE78fbajaT-4xYxWn_VdL27METkcs_9mm7iAMFhuclJmwJqk_5exsRReDtkaaKN98iDd-Zf3I/s640/First.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 5: </b>Next create a smaller circle on top of the previous one and place it inside the bigger circle (try to use rulers - CTRL+R - it might help you to position it properly). Then right click the first circle layer and go to Copy Layer Style, next right click the smaller one and go to Paste Layer Style. In the end you should have something like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 6 (Optional): </b>Duplicate the main circle layer once and then right click it and clear the layer style. Make sure only your bigger circle with layer styles applied is visible and the white one on top. Now we will use CTRL+click to make a selection of the white circle , make sure you're in the selection tool on the left bar (Eliptical Marquee Tool or whatever) and move only the selection to the top then hit delete on your keyboard (make sure you're in the white circle layer not in the main one). You should get this kind of shape for the white circle.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Change the layer style to Overlay and lower the opacity as you desire. This will make things look shinier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also did the same for the inner circle but this time I ended up with 2 layers instead of one:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And this is how they look after being changed to Overlay:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 7:</b> Create a small circle inside of the 2 previous ones and place the layer on top. Paste the same layer style as circle 1 and circle 2 but make sure to modify the Blending Options to make it look darker:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Step 9:</b> Create a triangle with the Polygon Tool (next to the Elipse Tool , Rectangle Tool, etc) by changing the Sides to 3. Make sure the triangle is white and then go to Blending Options and inside the Outer Glow change the style to Color Dodge, increase the size a bit and maybe lower the Opacity to get something like this:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our main shape is done. Next we will focus on adding some extra objects under the badge. I created this triangular shape and duplicate it once. Apply the similar kind of layer styles but without the patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then by using the same technique we used in Step 6 and by duplicating the layers you can achieve something similar to a wing:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next by using the Pen Tool I drew some ribbon shapes and filled them with white, then I changed the Blending Options - Inner Glow settings and the Color Overlay to Red.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added a Brightness & Contrast layer on top of all layers and played with the contrast values a bit. And here is the final result:</div>

<b>Time required to complete: < 10 min</b><br />
<b>Category: Photo manipulation </b><br />
<br />
Hello and welcome to another Photoshop Tutorial.<br />
<br />
Today we will learn how to create a demon eye inside Photoshop. I've experimented with some different eye images to see which technique works best for creating some cool dark-art eyes and came I up with this. So let's get started.<br />
<br />
In order to complete this tutorial you will need to download the pack below which contains our Eye image, Ground Texture and the displacement map for the eye. If you want you can use your own, but make sure you know how to create a displacement map.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/2909404386/Demon%20Eye%20Tutorial%20-%20Resources.rar">DOWNLOAD HERE </a><br />
<br />
Step 1: Open the Eye.jpg inside Photoshop:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Press CTRL+J with the Background layer selected to duplicate it.<br />
Inside the duplicated layer select the Dodge Tool (shortcut O). Change the Range to Midtones and the Exposure to 50% and start painting about 2 times inside the eye until you achieve something similar to the image below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzpCT3yi5vdD4-IhNUF-oGzhjNzSwsbCxCG52z6c1srxefsyJ0SeswtwTjkDoocrs1nB-1T3muor4OXOs_GNAr7SnHjG2vpw2MTAC1QD_u92p3DWBf8yU1m-oIkvDONVWeob71Tsg0HVE/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzpCT3yi5vdD4-IhNUF-oGzhjNzSwsbCxCG52z6c1srxefsyJ0SeswtwTjkDoocrs1nB-1T3muor4OXOs_GNAr7SnHjG2vpw2MTAC1QD_u92p3DWBf8yU1m-oIkvDONVWeob71Tsg0HVE/s640/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 3: Create a New Layer, fill it with Black and create a Mask for this layer. Also fill the mask with Black.<br />
Now select a soft brush, use White and paint in the mask layer (inside the eye). This should reveal the black from our Layer.<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE: Make sure you don't paint across the eye's reflection.</b> This is really important because without it the eye looks really flat. If you are using a different image and the reflections are slightly darker you should use a white soft brush to compensate the highlights, you can also try to change the opacity if the eye turns out over-exposed. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 4: Create a New Layer. Select a soft brush (size about 150px for this image) and click once inside the eye about where the iris is:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh02fphFcErjrkeg6ywGy4w4xizqrbVwI87ja5bnP6LkDYQSMFx4nOo3SDAKlMwjsGFTEvS_BaGZ4dmP5413lGrPG3cSQqM4S-FCkajkTN7J0UptGzUw63-tCNOIfOC4J8yjQZRt6iqq6g/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em;"><img border="0" height="341" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh02fphFcErjrkeg6ywGy4w4xizqrbVwI87ja5bnP6LkDYQSMFx4nOo3SDAKlMwjsGFTEvS_BaGZ4dmP5413lGrPG3cSQqM4S-FCkajkTN7J0UptGzUw63-tCNOIfOC4J8yjQZRt6iqq6g/s640/4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 5: Lower this layer's opacity to about 20%. This will give some transparency to the eye.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 6: Add a Curves Adjustment Layer on top of all the other layers:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzL5DwOrZ5_pFMa8TvbGwif4-0mZUhpJk0H5ZG8s1szt0UDCQQxPTI5t3XphmDn6PLy19aJhyphenhyphenzjpvGZh1YNNfbT-1C2W6AFy4ws4erOt6dbsPLLPI-SPxxhGN4GBB3VEePU6ukcjgvBY/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzL5DwOrZ5_pFMa8TvbGwif4-0mZUhpJk0H5ZG8s1szt0UDCQQxPTI5t3XphmDn6PLy19aJhyphenhyphenzjpvGZh1YNNfbT-1C2W6AFy4ws4erOt6dbsPLLPI-SPxxhGN4GBB3VEePU6ukcjgvBY/s640/6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 7: These are the settings I've used but the values are not fixed so make sure you play with the Curves until you achieve something you like. If you want to achieve results like mine lower the RGB to make the image look darker and decrease some of the Reds and increase the Greens a bit.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 8: Add a Brightness / Contrast Adjustment Layer on top of the Curves layer:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 9: Increase the Brightness / Contrast values to about 50-60. These settings will make our photo look sharper and slightly brighter:<br />

Step 14: Use a value of 5 for the Horizontal & Vertical Scale and then Hit OK. After you hit OK you will be asked to browse for the displacement map. Use the displacement.psd that you downloaded at the beginning of this tutorial. This will wrap the texture layer across the face.<br />

<br />
We will be using the Selection Tools , Blending Options, the Free Transform Tool and the Rulers to obtain symmetrical results:<br />
<br />
So let's get started.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1: </b>Create a New Layer on top of the Background Layer and Fill it with Black:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNe3gObUYtHoj6jcjZDzWw_NxrxK-nf5MHbT656wkdLNDet454U386qHZewjw759AVYnZMbjm5VnLYSnryLoj5irlj4xbh0waxvcG9Nvz3SVyLVoh2cNisO-o0X_E7DHA-C7KG6AGQaF4/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNe3gObUYtHoj6jcjZDzWw_NxrxK-nf5MHbT656wkdLNDet454U386qHZewjw759AVYnZMbjm5VnLYSnryLoj5irlj4xbh0waxvcG9Nvz3SVyLVoh2cNisO-o0X_E7DHA-C7KG6AGQaF4/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Step 2:</b> Right Click on this new Layer > Blending Options > <b>Gradient Overlay</b> and modify the first gradient color to a light blue (#00ccff) and the second one to pure black. Also change the Gradient Style to Radial and increase the Scale to 150%:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Step 3:</b> Bring up the rulers (CTRL+R) and press click & drag from the left ruler to add a guideline to the middle of the photo (the ruller will automatically snap to the middle), then click & drag from the top ruler to the middle again. This will be our guides for the head, to make everything look symmetrical. Now select the Ellipse Tool (enable Fill Pixels) and by Holding Shift drag a circle and position it as below:<br />
<br />

<b>Step 4:</b> Right Click the Circle layer then go to Blending Options > <b>Gradient Overlay</b> and change the following:<br />
<br />
Gradient Style: Radial<br />
Gradient Colors:<br />
0% - #ffe381<br />
100% - #dfa018 <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 5: CTRL+Click the circle layer</b> to make a selection of it, then create a new Layer and Fill it with White. Next press M (or select the Rectangular/Elliptical Marquee Tool) to go to the selection tool and move the selection to the right (make sure you are inside the selection tool and you're moving only the selection and NOT the circle), then hit delete:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAU8le1tqRLntKTlio5NjwTlOpK0nCb_t-_Acfn0l7skHz7GVtxQUUYYAc3w9-TK6neq87cMJIEsp7R3DUZhSCB1ICGgR6F8SQVIU_lqsF0fBXflUZsDh_1fTNsUAZKgGX44_Xg1lawBk/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAU8le1tqRLntKTlio5NjwTlOpK0nCb_t-_Acfn0l7skHz7GVtxQUUYYAc3w9-TK6neq87cMJIEsp7R3DUZhSCB1ICGgR6F8SQVIU_lqsF0fBXflUZsDh_1fTNsUAZKgGX44_Xg1lawBk/s640/5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You should end up with something like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 6:</b> <b>Now select the Rectangular Marquee Tool</b> and make a small selection right under the middle guideline on the left part of the smiley's head (see the image) then hit Delete on your keyboard:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 7:</b> <b>Press CTRL+T </b>inside this layer and by holding <b>Shift+Alt</b> drag one of the corners to the center to make it a bit smaller:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 8:</b> With the Rectangular Marquee Tool select the bottom part of our higlight and cut it (Ctrl+X). Then Paste (CTRL+V) it inside a new layer:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Step 9: </b>To make everything more clear I renamed each layer (see the image). Bring the bottom shine's layer (that you've just pasted) Opacity down to 65%:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 10:</b> Make a new Layer (rename it Eye) and by holding <b>Shift</b> drag a small white circle with the Ellipse Tool (U). Also position the Eye layer as below. Then Duplicate the layer and move the second eye to the right part:<br />

<b>Now if you use the Rotate Tool and you start rotating one gear on the Z Axis you will see that the other one is rotating too, in the opposite direction, like they're interacting with each other.</b> Also there is a problem if you want to make a loopable animation, that we solve in the next step:<br />
<br />
<b>Step 22:</b> With one gear selected , inside any <b>Viewport Right Click </b>and go to<b> Curve Editor</b>. Inside the Curve Editor, select Rotation > Z Rotation > Z_Rotation and select both points, then press on <b>Set Tangents to Liniar</b>. This should make a straight line from frame 0 to your last frame. Now your animation should be constant, that means there's no delay when the gear starts or stops rotating.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>Step 10: </b>Our planet looks well already and sometimes I find planets that glow better than those with shadows. So this step is really optional depending on what you like. <b>Create a New Layer under the Lens Flare</b>, select a <b>Soft Brush</b> (the ones with 0% hardness) with a size of <b>500 px</b> , use <b>Black</b> and add some shadows under the bottom right part as you can see in the image below:<br />

So that's it. We have just created a nice looking planet inside Photoshop. I used some Nebula and Stars brushes for my space scenes (you can find plenty on google) so if you wish to add stars make sure to collapse all layers together so the planet's shadow doesn't interact with the stars under it.<br />

In this step by step tutorial we will talk about creating 3D Music Bars by using Audio Controllers inside the Curve Editor. We will get some nice animated music bars that synchronize with the music that you want to use. See the video below:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
You can use Cylinders as well, or any other 3D Primitive that has Height as a parameter.<br />
<br />
So let's get started.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1:</span> Open 3Ds MAX and click on the Time Configuration button at the bottom right part of the GUI and change the End Time. You have to decide how many frames you want to render before creating the animation (remember that 30 frames is 1 second, so for example if your song has 1 minute/60 seconds then use 1800 frames). I just wanted to show you how to change the End Time but for the sake of this tutorial I am using the default 100 frames.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Step 12: </span>Select the Move Tool (W) and by holding Shift drag the ChamferBox on the X axis to Clone it.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 13:</span> Now you can scrub through the timeslider and see the animation but there is a problem, all ChamferBoxes are having the same height and they don't look like music bars at all:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCXBKV72wzVJ7usBzpkBE8TVy6-o6YQ2BdhbLgsWi1GKuaNa6unUBraTBpPZoxdcXracA3r74U32Rc0MoDZEjsWwkIyGFrgjV-ihIaHPiQY4GBJVc8jEVn09ZEwpD0kxXsoTMRiHECV7o/s1600/_0003_Layer+13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCXBKV72wzVJ7usBzpkBE8TVy6-o6YQ2BdhbLgsWi1GKuaNa6unUBraTBpPZoxdcXracA3r74U32Rc0MoDZEjsWwkIyGFrgjV-ihIaHPiQY4GBJVc8jEVn09ZEwpD0kxXsoTMRiHECV7o/s640/_0003_Layer+13.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> To fix this we will need to change the Controller Range Min and Max parameters for each ChamferBox at a time.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Step 14:</span> Select the second ChamferBox and double click the Height under the Object (ChamferBox) inside the Curve Editor then modify the Max range to a smaller value. You can also modify the Min amount to give more variation to the bars:</span></span><br />

Today we will create some abstract energy flares inside Photoshop by using simple filters and a few adjustment layers. Why am I calling them flares? Because the photos are created with distorted lens flares. So we will create something similar to the pictures below:<br />

<b>NOTE: The tutorial is not really precise because it's an abstract one and you could get different results than mine but what I'm insisting on is the technique used to create these energy flares.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> So let's get started...<br />
<br />
Step 1: Create a new document having 1600 x 1200 pixels:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2JgSev0taRexIOiv7CeDI8CSxe4JfrO5uqz4K6nFiXbVkfoppGshT4KJibBiep1blMLEY24odcQE2Rv9IqjpknqkVjtG4fCxViLKgmtCc0_N_Bq9SxNIDni6kDsQxHgkfR-IcLsiJ3I/s1600/_0030_Layer+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2JgSev0taRexIOiv7CeDI8CSxe4JfrO5uqz4K6nFiXbVkfoppGshT4KJibBiep1blMLEY24odcQE2Rv9IqjpknqkVjtG4fCxViLKgmtCc0_N_Bq9SxNIDni6kDsQxHgkfR-IcLsiJ3I/s640/_0030_Layer+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 2: Fill your Background with pure black:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The secret of getting nice flows is that you have to play around with
the Polar Coordinates and the Flips inside the Transform tool. Because
of the Polar Coordinates system if you don't move the image around while
pressing CTRL+F to repeat the process you will get a mirror effect
which I find kind of cool but which as well be annoying for some users. Well that might be all for this tutorial.<br />

<div>
Today we will talk about fixing pictures that turn out overexposed by using Adjustment Layers in Photoshop.</div>
<div>
Working with Adjustment Layers is really easy and the best part is that you don't have to worry about making mistakes because you work non-destructively, that means you can always change something in the process if you don't like it without ruining the photo. This tutorial is just an overview of the adjustment layers and the values that I used worked best only for my picture, you could get strange results if you just copy the parameters that I used. Make sure you play with the values until you achieve the result you're looking after. So let's get started...</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 1: Open your picture in Photoshop. I chose an outside picture that I made with my camera that turned out bright and unnatural (see the ground light).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Add a Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer by clicking "Create new fill or adjustment layer" button inside the layers tab.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpZq4uN8x6TnuAAdvBExnvck01ZE35IqBnkF_v0nH9d6MTTLY-A-IE2SBs7Ehqt2wkByYBOZlHPw23fbmhxzoj47Fn_SVoSpycSFBFPv7zagDoGOPxdWuYwEebGqTzt-4Nb36_TInMssQ/s1600/_0008_Layer+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpZq4uN8x6TnuAAdvBExnvck01ZE35IqBnkF_v0nH9d6MTTLY-A-IE2SBs7Ehqt2wkByYBOZlHPw23fbmhxzoj47Fn_SVoSpycSFBFPv7zagDoGOPxdWuYwEebGqTzt-4Nb36_TInMssQ/s640/_0008_Layer+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 3: Bump up the Contrast and lower the Brightness to get rid of the highlighted areas.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 4: Next add a Color Balance Adjustment Layer on top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 5: Modify the Midtones values and the Highlights values that fit best in your picture. I always insist on Red and Yellow inside Highlights and the Midtones depend on what color you can see more in your photo, for example I have green and yellow. If you have a picture of the ocean use more blue in the midtones and so on.<br />
<br />
Midtones:<br />

Step 6: Add a Vibrance Adjustment Layer on top. Vibrance controls the Saturation and brings more color into your photo.<br />

I'm using NFS Shift Label for this tutorial but after you learn how to texture the CD/DVD in 3Ds MAX you can create your own custom label in programs like Photoshop.<br />
<br />
So let's get started !<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 1: Open 3Ds MAX and from the Create > Standard Primitives > Tube and create a tube in the perspective view having the following parameters:<br />
<br />
<b>Radius 1: 4.724<br />
Radius 2: 0.591</b><br />
<b>Height: 0.043</b><br />
<b>Height segments: 1</b><br />
<b>Cap segments: 1</b><br />
<b>Sides: 120</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE:</b> We are using these values because a CD has 120mm for the outside diameter, 15mm for the inside diameter and 1.1 mm for height and inside 3Ds MAX these are the converted values from mm to generic units.<br />

Step 18: Press M on your keyboard to bring up the Material Editor and go into the Top material and hit Show Standard Map in Viewport button, do the same for our Bottom material:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 19: Now we will see the maps into the Viewports. Go to the Bottom Bitmap Image and modify the Tiling to 0.9 for U, 0.9 for V and the Angle for U: -0.5 and for V: -0.1 to center the Bottom material to the CD:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 20: Inside the Top material go to the Bitmap and modify the U Angle to 0.5 to center the Label to the CD:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's it ! Now you can render it out.<br />
You can also add some Glossiness and Specularity to the materials to achieve more realistic results.<br />
<br />
You have learned the basics of using Multi/Sub-Object material which is a very powerful tool when you want to assign more materials to the same object. You can assign as many materials as you want by assigning IDs to the polygons as we did in this tutorial, then apply maps to the Material IDs like we did with our Label and Bottom texture of our CD.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: With the plane selected go to the Modify Tab and change the following:<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 5: Now from the Modifier List apply a Hair and Fur (WSM) and change the following:<br />
<br />
<b>Hair Count: 35000</b><br />
<b>Scale: 35</b><br />
<b>Root Thick: 9</b><br />
<b>Tip Thick: 1</b><br />
<b>Tip Color: Assign a bitmap and choose yellow_leaf.jpg</b><br />
<b>Root Color: Assign a bitmap and choose green_leaf.jpg </b><br />
<b>Specular: 30</b><br />
<b>Glossiness: 97</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Step 6:<b> </b>Now we need to assign the Ground material to the plane. To do that press M onto your keyboard to bring up the Material Editor. Inside a Standard material click onto the Diffuse Box and assign a Bitmap then choose Ground.jpg as the bitmap image. Increase Specular to 20, Glossiness to 16 then make sure the plane is selected and press on Assign Material to Selection (number 3 in image) and then to preview it press on Show Map in Viewport (number 4 in image):<br />

Step 7: If you do a test render you can see that the grass does not produce any shadows at all. To make everything look better create a Target Spot Light from Create > Lights > Standard > Target Spot and place it above our plane like in the image:<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Then from the Modify tab change enable Shadows and choose Ray Traced Shadows from the list and increase the Multiplier to 2.5<b>.</b><br />
<br />
And that's all you can now render your grass !<br />
If you save your image as a PNG you can then edit it in Photoshop, add a sky, Sunlight, glare and lens effects and achieve results like this:<br />

Today we will learn how to create a glowing text inside 3Ds MAX and how to render it with Mental Ray. You don't need any plugins to complete this tutorial, because Mental Ray comes with 3Ds MAX in its package. We will be using the Glare Shader, we will create a nice looking water material and of course our glowing text. The end result will look similar to these ones:<br />

Of course, you can make any object glow because in the end the glow is just a material shader, but for this tutorial we will use a simple text. Make sure to check the pictures under each step to understand better what I'm trying to say with words.<br />

Step 13: Create an Omni Light from Create > Lights > Standard > Omni and place it above our sphere into the Left View. Also change its color to a Light Blue:<br />

Step 14: Now if we do a test render we can see that the text is way too bright. To fix that we need to apply a color to our glow to match the omni light and to decrease the glowing value a little. To do that Press M onto your keyboard to bring up the material editor and inside our Glow Material change Physical Units value to 700 and the color to a light blue:<br />

And that's it, we have created a glowing text inside 3Ds MAX with Mental Ray. If you wish to make your glow color different make sure that you also change the Omni Light color to match your glow. Also you can increase the Streaks Weight to achieve different results and you can also increase/decrease the Spread value inside the Glare material from the Material Editor to achieve shinier/darker glowing results.

Hello and welcome to another Photoshop tutorial. Today we will learn how to turn any image into a nice looking sketch as you can see above. This tutorial is short, it has a few simple steps and I think that you won't have any problems following it. I'm using a photo of Angelina Jolie but you can use any image even if it doesn't represent a portrait.<br />
<br />
So let's get started<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 1:</b> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Open your image in Photoshop</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <b>Step 2: </b>Duplicate your Background layer</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">To duplicate the Layer use CTRL+J shortcut or right click your Background layer and choose Duplicate image. Rename this layer Desaturate:</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 3: </span></b><span style="font-size: large;">Desaturate the duplicated layer</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Press SHIFT+CTRL+U on your keyboard to desaturate our duplicated layer (Desaturate Layer). You should end up with a black and white image:</span></span><br />

<b> Tutorial Difficulty: Medium</b><br />
<b>Time required to complete: 15-25 minutes.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Today we will learn how to model a 3D cooling fan using some basic modeling techniques. This is a step by step tutorial and I tried to explain everything as well as I could but if you still get stuck make sure to check the images under each step as they can help you understand better what's going on. So let's get started:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 1: Open 3Ds MAX and from the Create Tab create a Cylinder, then go to to the Modify Tab and change its values to:<br />
<br />
<b>Radius: 27</b><br />
<b>Height: 20</b><br />
<b>Height Segments: 1</b><br />
<b>Cap Segments: 1</b><br />
<b>Sides: 7</b><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Right click under (or on) the Cylinder inside the Modifier Box and convert it into an Editable Poly so we can manipulate its geometry:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 13: With these edges selected go to Connect Edge settings and choose a value of 2 for Segments a Pinch value of 90 (this will be our support edges and will help for smoothing the geometry)<br />

Step 30: And now this step it's a little hard to explain, just convert the Cylinder into an Editable Poly then go to the Polygon Selection and select the 2 polygons that face the points that define our rectangle (90 degrees between them) and extrude them by a value of about 35:<br />

To animate this just select the Fan and with the Autokey go to frame 10 and with the Rotate Tool just rotate it at 360 degrees then render those 10 frames and you can make a GIF from them as the one below:<br />

<b>NOTE !!! </b>For this tutorial I've used a font<b> </b>called Blade 2 that you can download <a href="http://www.dafont.com/blade-2.font" style="color: blue;">here</a><br />
To install it just extract the file 'Blade 2.ttf' and place it into your Windows > Fonts folders.<br />
<br />
So let's get started <br />
<br />
Step 1: Open Adobe Photoshop and Create a New document having 350 Width and 150 Height:<br />

And that's all ! We have created a nice looking animated signature with a few filters, a cool font and some basic animations that include movement. You can also add images with characters onto your icy background to make a custom signature, change the colors into the Color Balance layer and why not even change the font to match the theme.<br />
