I've been asked by a few people how I'm doing the new 3D effect....Well, it's exactly the same as the old way, but I made a new Blade Pro Preset called New3D which you can download Here.


Just use the new preset (no changes to the settings is required, just use as is). I didn't want to make a new tutorial, so the old one is below. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to help you.


Okay everybody, you wanted a 3D tutorial, here it is. Just know that every 3D is different, and this tutorial will only work where there is a clear black separation between colors and the colors are totally solid like the tube used in this tutorial.

Okay, here we go. We are going to start with this tube:

Then: Selections\Select All
Then Selections\Modify\Transparent Color
With settings shown below:

Click okay and image should look like this:

Now as the image is, copy and paste to new image
You should have the picture shown below:


Selections\Select All
Then Selections\Modify\Select Similar

Image now looks like this:

Now apply Blade Pro - Colored Flowers Changing First setting to 2 
(For those who don't have Colored Flowers Preset, it is included in attachment)

Now, Selections\Select None

Image should now look like this:

Now go back to original image and click delete key.
Then Selections\Select None
Your image should now look like this:

Now, Selections\Select All Selections\Select Similar 
Now apply Blade Pro - Colored Flowers as done before.
Then Selections\Select None

Now you have to copy the 2nd Image (The colored one) then go to the original image (the black outlined one) 
and layer it on top of the original image (Control+L)

Image now looks like this:

Now all you have to do is line up the colors with the outline.
(Tip: Sometimes it is better to View\Zoom In)

Now: Layers\Merge\Merge Visible and here's what you get:

Add a drop shadow or not, it's up to you and then if it was a tube, 
all you have to do is save it, if not, export it as a tube.

Enjoy!!!!!
