3D Type with Repoussé in Photoshop CS5 Extended

Repoussé, yet another great new tool added to the Photoshop CS5 arsenal. Here’s a link to a tutorial from Abuzeedo highlighting some of the new Repoussé features.

“Repoussé is a new research system for the interactive enhancement of 2D art with 3D geometry. Repoussé creates a 3D shape by inflating the surface that interpolates the input curves. By using the mean curvature stored at boundary vertices as a degree of freedom, a user is able to manipulate the inflated surface intuitively and efficiently using a single linear system. – Adobe“

Looks like the learning curve is going to be pretty steep, can’t wait!
