3D Ice Blocks Photoshop Tutorial

2010-12-10T12:46:00.010+02:00

In this Photoshop Tutorial Easy-Psd will show you how to create abstract ice blocks background . For the start we need a big rectangular document ( I used like 1200x1200).
We need this big because in the end we will use just 1/4 of the original size. Press "D" to put the foreground color to black and the background color to white. Now just apply Filter-Render-Clouds.The image got some very dark areas so we will modify the levels . Press Ctrl+L and apply the settings like in the image below:
Now will come the nice part. With just a few clicks we will obtain an amazing effect. Go to Filter-Stylize-Extrude and select "Blocks" with 40 pixel size and 40 Depth. You will get something like this:
For the Ice Blocks to look more real we need to change the color. For this we will press Ctrl+U and we will play around with the options until we get a light blue color.
Now hit Ctrl+F to apply the last filter again and you will get an abstract ice block image. I think the image look good but for a better visual effect I decided to cut of a half of the image because of the extrude filter. After cutting out 1/4 of the image i got something like this:

Speed Fire Car

2010-11-24T12:00:00.017+02:00

In this tutorial Easy-Psd will show you how to create a speed fire car with Adobe Photoshop.

For this tutorial we need a picture with a car , but the background of the image must be white. Another think we need is a fire background picture.I found this background on google:Now find the image with the car. Don't forget about the white Background . I decided to use this picture because I love BMW :)For this tutorial we will use maybe an unusual thing. Open the image with the car , select the whole layer (Ctrl+A) and go to Edit-Define Brush Present and define the whole layer as a brush.

Now create a new document(Ctrl+N). Choose any size you want but I recommend something like 800x800 or 1000x1000. Set the background color of the new document to black. Now create a new layer on the black document(Shift+Ctrl+N) , and from brushes select the earlier defined brush and apply it with a white color. You should obtain something like this:Create a new layer(Shift+Ctrl+N) and on this layer apply the fire background (Open the fire background document , press Ctrl+A , Ctrl+C and on the car document , on the new layer press Ctrl+V .Put the layer mod to Overlay . You should obtain something like this:Now right click on the layer where you applied the brush and go to Blending Options and apply the following settings:
For the Outer Glow the color is #ff0000.
For the Inner Glow the color is #ffa800.I think that the image already look very nice but we can still improve it.Go on the layer with the brush and duplicate it ( Layer-Duplicate Layer). Now your layer pallet should look like this:
Now on the "Layer 2" we will add some filters. Go to Filter-Stylize-Wind From the Left and add this filter.To repeat the filter , hit 2 or 3 times Ctrl+F. Another filter will be Filter-Blur-Motion Blur and apply it with a 90 Angle and a Distance of 10 pixels.You should obtain something like this:
Now the image is ready. You can also add some text with the same Blending Options like the one used for the car .If you like this tutorial please share it with your friends by clicking on the links below.For any questions just post here a comment.

Now you can make your background image black because you don't need the original shape now .

2010-07-06T17:19:00.011+03:00

In this tutorial i will show you how to create a realistic meteor covered in fire . First we need to create a new Photoshop document with black background .

The image will look like this:The image is almost ready. We must make the meteor to be covered in fire . Duplicate the meteor layer and name the copy of the meteor layer to Meteor2 . On Meteor2 put the layer mode to Hard Light and on Meteor put the layer mode to Overlay.The meteor is ready now :For a more spectacular look , we can add this meteor on a nicer background .

We have to stretch a little bit the fibers so go to Image>>Rotate Canvas>>90 CW and apply Filter>>Stylize>>Wind 3 times from the Right and 3 times from the Left . Rotate back the canvas ( Image>>Rotate Canvas>>90 CCW ) and now the image must look like this :

Let's add a little bit of color to this background . Create a new layer ( Shift + Ctrl + N ) and apply on this layer a Linear Gradient from #ffc21d to #f1ff19 and back to #ffc21d .

Set the gradient layer mode to Linear Burn , Merge Down the layer ( Ctrl+E ) and the background is done . Now we have to add the text .

Set you foreground color to white , and add some brushes like in the image below :

Create a new layer above the layer with the glowing brushes but below the text layers , select a soft round brush with a radios of 200 300 pixels . Select some light colors and brush on the glowing lights . Set the layer mode to Overlay and the image is ready . If you think that the background layer is not dark enough click the layer with the background , press Ctrl+L and give another value in the middle box ( the values under 1.0 make the image darker and the values above 1.0 make it lighter ) . Final result :
