3D edit in PS CS5

Feb 13, 2011 11:57 PM

Hi!

I know almost nothing about 3D , and wonder if this is possible with PS :

I've gotten a 3D model of a bottle, the scene panel shows, beside the light, 3 "objects", wich are, respectively : A sticker on the bottle (object001/label2), the bottle itself (wine_0/wine) and the top of the bottle (line001/material_91937,label1).

The layer panel shows, only, one layer, called layer 1 wich contains texturs for :label1,material_91937,wine and label2.

Now, what I would like to do :

On this bottle I wish to add a new stcker with a text on it; is there a way to do that in photoshop?

Any clue may be helpfull.

Thanks

Edgar

    Edgar,

     

    Do you have PS-Extended CS5?

     

    Good luck,

    There are a few ways to approach this:

    1. Open an image you want to use as the Label > then Create the Wine Bottle 3D preset object. It will always use it as the label.

    Also there are Glass and Cork presets for the bottle in the additional Materials

    2. In the attached image. You need to select from the 3D Panel the Label Material. After that you will see additional properies for that texture

    You can open the Material as show below or double click it in the Layers Panel.

    Hope that helps.

    No, but Extended has 3D capabilities, that the regular program does not have.

     

    I think that the answer above will solve the issue. I just wanted to know which version of PS you were working with.

    Yes you can quite easily > If you can select the Glass "Material Texture" then you could create Text on that texture map.

     

    See enclose image:

    3D Model with text on glass and the editable Text sitting on the texture map on the right.

    • Select the texture in the 3D panel, you will see other properties (Diffuse, Opacity Bump...)
    • Select Diffuse and Open texture.
    • It will open another window where you can edit your Glass diffuse texture. This texture is stored in PSD file, so although it opens in another window it is still part of your PSD.
    • In your Glass diffuse texture window you can use the text tool to create your text. Save it.
    • View the results in your 3D model > you may need to make adjustments depending on how the texture (eg UV maps) are applied to the model.

    Without having the model I can only guess that there is UV Map problem.

    - You may try in the 3D Menu > Reparamaterize the model. But I would only use this as a last resort.

     

    If you place a checkerboard type texture on the glass what happens? You should post a screen shot here.

    Hi Edgar,

     

    That model is more complex than the one  Daniel used as an example. The biggest hurdle you'll hit is the glass  mesh has a repeating UV map so you're going to get repeating text. I need  to talk with Daniel about ways to fix that.

     

    That said the reason you aren't seeing any text is  because the Opacity for the glass material is 0%. In the 3D panel,  select Material__91937 and then below notice that Opacity is set to 0%.  Change that to 100% and you should see the surface if the glass, which  will then display text added to the diffuse texture.

     

    regards,

    steve

    This model will never work as you want it because it has not been proeprly prepared. This is very typical of free models on the net, but with a little hunting you may find something that works.

     

    Here is my result with the model, just to check...
