Abstract 3D Models from Photos
In this tutorial, we will be looking at how to create abstract 3D shapes using pixel art extracted from photographs.
First, get an image with a lot of color. In this example, we will be using this image:
Yes, it is possible to find a good web host. Sometimes it takes a while. After trying several, we went with Server Intellect and have been very happy. They are the most professional, customer service friendly and technically knowledgeable host we've found so far.
Open the image in PhotoShop and then choose the Single Row (or Column) Marquee tool:
We will use this to make a 1px selection of a row (or column) within the image. When you click using this tool, it will make a selection of 1px, like so:
Press Ctrl+C to copy this selection, then paste into your original document in PhotoShop. We should have a 1px line:
We will goto Edit > Transform > Rotate 90° CW. Then goto Edit > Transform > Scale, and expand one side like so:
We chose Server Intellect for its dedicated servers, for our web hosting. They have managed to handle virtually everything for us, from start to finish. And their customer service is stellar.
Next, right-click the layer and duplicate it, and line it up so that it is right next to the original:
Now goto Edit > Transform > Perspective, then drag one corner in like this:
Now Ctrl-click the thumbnail of this layer to make a selection. Choose a black, soft brush of around 100px. Paint the shadow in at the bottom, like so:
Now we will do the same for the other layer. Ctrl-click it to make a selection, then choose a slightly smaller soft brush and paint in the shadow:
We can create as many as we want, using different source images:
We migrated our web sites to Server Intellect over one weekend and the setup was so smooth that we were up and running right away. They assisted us with everything we needed to do for all of our applications. With Server Intellect's help, we were able to avoid any headaches!
Guys, please take a look at Server Intellect for Windows Web Hosting. I'm very pleased. You will be too. Take a look and see for yourself!

After the mastectomies,I knew that one way to get myself going would be to start exercising again,so I headed for the local pool.In the communal shower,I found myself noticing other women‘s breasts for the first time in my life.Size-D breasts and size-A breasts,sagging breasts and perky breasts.Suddenly and for the first time,after all these years of missing a leg,I felt acutely self-conscious.I couldn‘t bring myself to undress.
