LEARN HOW TO BUILD A DYNAMIC ADVERTISING IMAGE WITH

3D ELEMENTS, RENDER PASSES & LIGHTING TECHNIQUES

T

he biggest issue when compositing 3D

elements with real-life photos is ensuring

that the colours and lighting match, to

make the image look as real as possible.

This tutorial will discuss how to do this, both

initially in 3D software and later in Photoshop. The

3D software will give you from 80 to 90 per cent

matching, but you will have to crank it up to ensure

that the blending is seamless by using compositing

tools and the knowledge you will gain from this

advanced tutorial.

You will also learn what render passes are,

which ones to use, and the kind of mattes you will

need when constructing 3D objects. In the

Photoshop section you will learn how to follow a

non-destructive workflow with the use of Smart

Objects. After completing the tutorial, you will have

the knowledge to create a pro advertising scene.
