Lynda – Adobe Dimension: Photo Shoot Composite

Adobe Dimension CC is an easy-to-use app that helps you create striking photo-realistic renders from 3D models. This course covers both basic and advanced techniques for working with 3D models in this powerful program. Instructor Steve Caplin shows how to combine a 3D model with a background, and adjust the lighting in a scene; how to build a box, size it to the proportions of your product, and map your own artwork onto it; and how to combine multiple objects in a scene, render them, and then access the individual objects in Photoshop for color and tone adjustment. Finally, Steve looks at advanced techniques such as adjusting the depth of field, using the Magic Wand tool to change the texture on part of an object, and speeding up your work with keyboard shortcuts.

Topics include:

• Building a scene
  
• Adding a primitive object and changing its proportions
