Basic artwork application


Visualizing multiple treatments, part 1
See how quickly artwork can be applied to two very different images -- aka we build a final billboard and CD/DVD case image in less than 3 minutes. Advanced techniques: Cut + paste artwork from various sources into your target image to make it easily accessible.


Visualizing multiple treatments, part 2


Creating multi-object images, part 1
Advanced techniques: Use LiveSurface images to visualize multiple material and printing techniques on the fly. Advanced techniques: Here we cut + paste multiple elements (3 magazine covers) in preparation for building a stack of magazines.


Creating multi-object images, part 2


Creating multi-object images, part 3
Advanced techniques: Because every Object Series image ships with an isolated background, we can quickly build a multi-object image from just one object. Advanced techniques: Use the built-in Vanishing Point planes to add realistic background texture in perspective.
