Beyond Photoshop

Beyond Photoshop
Advanced Techniques Integrating Photoshop with Illustrator, Poser, Painter, Cinema 4D,
and ZBrush

How to use this book Each chapter in this book is a stand-alone project.
One chapter does not lead into the next.
You can literally open the book and start with any chapter that interests you.
I have decided to follow the format I used previously in Creative Photoshop.
Each chapter begins with an inspirational image, and then a highly detailed, step-by-step walkthrough carries you through the process of how it was created.

All the files you’ll need to create each image are included in the downloadable project files for that chapter at www.beyondphotoshopthebook.com.
At the end of each chapter, you’ll not only create something compelling—you’ll walk away with the knowhow required to apply these methods to work of your own.
That is the real goal here: to inspire you as well as inform you, while at the same time creating something that is visually compelling.
