    You never cease to amaze me with your ability to take apart the elements of a completed project to create a “how to” tutorial that results in a very accurate simulation to the original! Great tutorial.

    How do you come up with this stuff?

    Wow, that selection tip of doing it with the colour channels and painting away it soft light was worth this tutorial alone! Thanks a lot for all of these Corey!

    Hi!

    Again, a great tutorial. And useful, for company’s logo animation, for example.
    But next time, we must create our own clouds. 😉

    Nice weekend!

    Fantastic tutorial, as always.
    Nobody else ever comes close to creating a tutorial this gripping, in-depth, whilst being funny, simple to follow, and applicable to every-day use of Photoshop.
    Thank you!

    That was amazing Corey.

    But Michael has a good question how to you come up with this stuff. I play in photoshop all day and i would have never thought of that.

    Good stuff. but does anyone know of a way to add depth to 3d text? complete with perspective and such, like say, the Terminator logo. it seems only illustrator can do this, but is there really no way to do this directly in photoshop? if not they really need to add that to their to do list. the 3d in photoshop so far seems to be flat postcard only stuff unless you want to import a mesh made in a 3d modeling app or use preset primitives.

    Hi, this tutorial is so wonderful, and I can say all of yours are wonderful too. Thank you.

    Just a little suggestion, is there any chance that you would provide us picture (or pdf) based tutorials? It would be nice as we could look through it more carefully. Video tutorials are good but it’s a little bit quick and the resolution is not so big and clear.

    Thank you again. You are very great.

    David

    Corey,
    I’ve been trying to do this tutorial with CS5, but when I merged the layer 2 by 2 (as you did)
    in CS5 I lost the mesh’s move away independently…
    to aproximate one layer and so on…
    Please tell me what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for all your tutorials that let me graduate in ACE CS3
    and I’ll need this to try CS4 ACE exame or maybe CS5..
    thanks
