Thanks, Colin! This is great! One key item that I tripped over when first trying to use the 3D is that the source images for each of the faces MUST be in RGB, not CMYK. Also, you need to be in that mode when you open your first image.

That being said, I am trying to create those old school type alphabet blocks where I have the text letters on top of the images that I placed on each face. I’ve had zero luck finding a tutorial about placing text with the text tool onto the faces of a 3D object. Do you have any hints? Is it possible to have more than one layer on each face, so if I have individual images of the letters I want to use on the faces, I could stack the layers on each face so the letter is on top of the images originally placed on each face of the cube? Thanks again!

I love this tutorial. Any advice on how to create a 12 sided 3d (dodecahedron) cube.

First of all, this is not Frame Animation, but video animation.

Secondly, I cannot watch video on Youtube from China. Anyway, i tried alot times to rotate 3D objects in CS 6 or PS 2019, it doesn’t rotate like i expected – around Y axis. it rotate in a mess.
If i set timeline based on 3D cube like what you do above, the cube doesnt rotate at all.
I can only do animation based on 3D camera position. I don’t know.

Thanks for advice!
Tiger

In reply to LLI. Hmm, it was a long time ago I made this tut. Ill have to look into doing an updated one on 3D animation. Let me see if I can find time to trouble shoot this, just don't have the time right now.

Hi Colin, Wonderful tutorial. Problem outputting cube spin. Changing the parameter for the cube’s rotation value to 360 or even 359 on the Y axis doesn’t seem to work. Set Cube mesh to rotation keyframe at x-0, y-0, z-0, go down the frame animation timeline, change Y rotation to 360 or 359 and no animation. Try to change the rotation using the Rotate object tool and anything greater than 180 won’t go. Any suggestions?

I tried your tutorial but the cube doesnt rotate after setting the keyframe (and Y rotation) in the end of the timeline. Should i render the 3d object first and then animate? enthousiastic at first but some hours later…
