Easy 3D extrusions with Adobe Repoussé in Photoshop CS5 Extended
Repoussé is an ancient metalworking technique for embossing artwork on the surface of metals
such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and bronze. Inspired by this technique, Photoshop Extended offers
a powerful new Repoussé feature for creating eye-catching 3D artwork.
In Photoshop, start with a 2D element such as a text layer, selection, path, or layer mask, and then
choose 3D > Repoussé. The 2D path is converted into a 3D object or “mesh” that you can extrude
and then manipulate in a variety of ways. For example, you can control how far the object extrudes
and whether it curves, bends, or twists. You can also apply a bevel to both the front and back
surfaces of the extruded object and inflate a surface so that it appears as a smooth, curved surface.
Additional settings let you apply materials such as brick, brushed steel, fabric, rusty metal, stucco,
and wood. 3D-axis and rotation tools allow you to examine the 3D object from different angles as
you work.
Use Adobe Repoussé to invent attention-grabbing 3D content for print or interactive content,
animations, or immersive environments.
