A new toolbar will appear, showcasing an array of sculpting tools tailored to your needs.
Dynamic Object Sculpting Tools:
a) Sculpting Brush: The core tool of Dynamic Object Sculpting. Use it to push, pull, and shape objects with utmost precision. Adjust the brush size and hardness to fine-tune your sculpting.
b) Smooth Tool: Achieve organic transitions by smoothing out rough edges or uneven surfaces on the object. Simply select the tool and brush over the desired areas.
c) Inflate/Deflate Tool: Add volume or reduce it in specific regions of the object. This tool grants you unparalleled control over the shape and contour of your elements.
d) Warp Sculpting Tool: Take your object manipulation to the next level with the Warp Sculpting tool. Bend, twist, or distort objects effortlessly to fit any desired perspective or form.
e) Sculpting History: Explore a non-destructive workflow with the Sculpting History panel. Step back in time, undo or redo sculpting actions, and fine-tune your modifications with ease.
Advanced Techniques with Dynamic Object Sculpting:
Blend Modes: Experiment with different blend modes to seamlessly integrate your sculpted objects with the surrounding elements. Overlay, Soft Light, and Multiply often yield impressive results.
Lighting and Shadows: Remember to adjust the lighting and shadow effects on your object to ensure it integrates flawlessly within the composition. Dynamic Object Sculpting works in harmony with Photoshop’s existing lighting features, allowing for accurate and realistic lighting adjustments.
Smart Objects: Convert your sculpted objects into Smart Objects to retain maximum flexibility. Smart Objects preserve the original quality of the layer, enabling you to re-sculpt, adjust properties, or apply filters non-destructively.
Dynamic Object Sculpting has been meticulously designed to mimic real-world sculpting techniques, providing Photoshop professionals with an unmatched level of control and creative freedom. By incorporating this feature into your workflow, you’ll unlock limitless possibilities and deliver stunning, lifelike compositions.
