how to create a 3D puzzle in Photoshop
1. DESCRIPTION

The following video will show you how to use the Puzzle Effects Photoshop actions to create an impressive 3D scene in Photoshop CS5 Extended. The Photoshop action used is the 20-pieces (available in both the free & commercial versions). You will learn how to:
  • use Repoussé to turn 2D layers into 3D meshes,
  • merge 3D layers and
  • use the bunch of 3D tools available in the brand new 3D panel in PS CS5 Extended.

1. Make sure OpenGL is enabled in Photoshop's preferences (hit Control-K / Cmd-K and click the 'Performance' tab).
2. Repoussé doesn't work in old video cards that don't support OpenGL
3. A 1800px by 1200px image was used in this tutorial. You may want to tweak the Repoussé parameters slightly if your image has a different size.
