3D Compositing: Ship at Sea
Create an ocean scene around a 3D model from Pixel Squid
In this project, we will be importing a 3D model from Pixel Squid using the Photoshop plug-in then we will create the ocean environment around it using a combination of several different images to create a custom composite. See how to use the various parts of different images and blend them using some various techniques you can use in other projects as well.
