I am googling…but, since CS4 does not ship with any manuals….how are we supposed to learn about 3D and see some examples? Any current links you can recommend?
Like creating a mesh, etc.
Right in Photoshop CS4
In the Help menu:
How to work with 3D
Also under Help subjects you can enter "3D" and a number of resources will be provided.
….And keep in mind that the 3D import support wasn’t intended to replace a CGI program like 3D Studio, Maya or Lightwave. It was designed to allow artists and illustrators who don’t own these programs the abilty to take a mesh someone else designed and – hopefully – simply open it up in a Photoshop illustration, adjust it accordingly, and then render it within the document. To be honest, tho, having worked with the feature in CS3, I’ve found I get far better results by rendering my object on a black background in 3D Studio, saving the file with an Alpha Channel, and then importing and C&P to my Photoshop image. And Photoshop doesn’t crash if you use that method, as many complex meshes are prone to cause.
