Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended What’s New
Use the 3D Material Drop tool and the Material Load tool to
easily load a material and drop it into different meshes, allowing
you to sample and apply materials interactively. New overlay
controls provide instant feedback about where specific materials
and meshes are located in your model, and the updated 3D axis
widget now works with lights and cameras as well as 3D objects.
With the Shadow Catcher feature, you can now easily generate a
shadow on the ground plane of a scene, and then adjust how the
shadow interacts with image content of other layers by altering
its opacity and its softness. To further enhance realism, you can
use an HDR image to light your scene, or re-create traditional
depth-of-field effects in your rendered scene by adjusting the
zone of sharpness with the new Distance and Blur controls.
Quickly change the look of your
Repoussé designs by applying one of
the Shape Presets, or manually adjust
each of the characteristics using the
included controls and seings.
Control the selection of materials for
each of the surfaces of your Repoussé
design with seings in the feature’s
dedicated dialog box.
Quickly add drama and realism to your models with interactive control of scene
lighting (right), material selection (le), and the creation of shadows (above) with
the new Shadow Catcher feature.
Better 3D performance and
workflow (Photoshop CS5
Extended only)
Take advantage of better
performance and immediate
rendering feedback thanks to the
improved Adobe Ray Tracer (ART)
engine in Photoshop CS5 Extended.
ART 2.0 brings substantial
improvements in performance when
you interact with and edit 3D
models. ART 2.0 progressively
renders 3D scenes with an option to
re-render after a pause, or even
perform selective renderings, all
e controls in the 3D section of the Preferences dialog box (above) allows
you to ne-tune the rendering system in Photoshop to achieve the best 3D
design experience.
