    thanks Corey, I specially like the ‘defringe’, that will give so much better result then ‘select – modify-contract’ which I always used to get rid of that halo.
    And off course your very wll explained animation!

    I want to see the ‘Bird.psd’! Or the .mov at least.. I think it was even greater than this that you kept it for another event or regular tutorial in a regular day!

    Best wishes

    OK, sorry for interfering with things not of my business.

    Just a question, do you have any plans to upgrade to PS CS5 once it’s available? Do you (for example) have any insider info?
    Just curious about your thoughts..

    Corey…im a huge fan of your site and all the wonderful tutorials. I just dont think Photoshop has a place within the professional 3D graphics world. This is a good tutorial hands down, but it will never compare to After Effects or other software packages. I see the Photoshop 3D integration as a stepping stone into After Effects, but not a standalone. Maybe because I am old follower of Photoshop w/ traditional 2D art.

    Wow! As always, I find the extra little tips at least as useful as the overall lesson. Like Ann commented, I’ll get a lot of use out of “Defringe.”

    Very cool stuff Corey. I enjoy watching your tutorial’s, you make it easy.

    Working on an art project for my nephew and I love that football field background. Any
    chance you can send that to me? Nephew loves U of M so I’m hoping to manipulate it
    to look like U of M stadium and my own anime characters in front playing football.

    Thanks.

    PS. Had no clue about 3D effects in Photoshop, thanks.

    Great tutorial.

    but what do you do after you have completed your animation?
    how do you render it to be a movie?

    Thanks 🙂

    Hello, i’m a professional dancer. i’d like to see to make a showreel with regard to my promotions. I also desire to use some animation. Can someone suggest me an excellent animation studio, but not really very expensive? I’m here for 3 months for a tour.
    Love
    Kim.
