DMA 234 - Textures (Week 1)








For this course (Computer Graphics & Imaging), I'm required to produce 3 new textures eack wk, using the various tools found in Photoshop. Here are my 1st set for textures.

DMA 101 - 3D Scenes


The first attached jpeg entitled “Magician’s Hat” depicts objects you would find at a magic show. Among the objects present is a magician’s hat along with a magic wand. Both objects were brought to life by using 3D Revolve. Plastic shading was used on the surfaces of the hat and the wand. The red ribbon was mapped onto the hat. Linear gradient option was used for the curtain in the background and the radial gradient option was used on the tablecloth top which the hat lays on. Drop shadow was used on the hat. The magic dust was created by using my own custom
made symbol. The Symbol Sprayer Tool was then use to create the magic dust effect.




The second attached jpeg entitled “Oscar – Red Carpet” depicts a red carpet affair at the Academy Awards. An Oscar statue stands directly in the centre of the design. It was created by using the 3D Revolve tool. The two major star shapes in the background was created by using the Star tool and the final effects were done by using the 3D Extrude and Bevel option. Linear gradient was used on the statue, the two major stars, the red carpet and on the carpet poles. Radial gradient was used in the background. Plastic shading was used on the surfaces of all the objects present. Drop shadows were placed under the statue and also under the poles.The starry effect background was created by using a preset star symbol and my own small Gaussian blurred circles that was then placed as a symbol and then used with the Symbol Sprayer tool.
