What you'll learn
In this course we will use Photoshop, to add foliage and other fine details to an island image that has been lit and rendered in Softimage. In this series of lessons, we will explore workflows for creating a realistic island scene using Softimage and Photoshop. We will begin by setting up our various lights, materials, and shadowing effects within Softimage, giving us a good foundation for adding further details in Photoshop. We will bring our rendered image into Photoshop and add details such as shaded foliage, enhancing shadows and highlights, creating more natural weathering and erosion patterns, atmospheric effects, and much more. Using these techniques, we will be able to use both Softimage and Photoshop to create a finished image much faster, and with more control than if we tried to use only one of these applications. Software required: Softimage 7.5 and Photoshop.
