    Hi!

    Do you know which version of Ps I need to do this kind of tutorial?
    Can I use cs3 or I need cs4?

    Thanks!

    Looks so real, gotta try this

    It doesn’t even look all that hard to make, but it looks great.

    • Tomasz says:

      …that was exactly my point… make it look decent without struggle… :)

        Tomasz has some great techniques in this tutorial. He’s got loads of techniques he’s built up over the years and I’m really excited to have him contributing to the site. Great job Tomasz!

        I look forward to the next one. We’ll have another pro technique workflow from Tomasz next month as well for Psd Plus members.

    Wow that’s amazing. Nice tut.

    I hope this comment shows up, since my comments on the pillow post aren’t :\

  10. student 011 says:

    yeah, I agree. lots of things look simple, but when it actually comes to doing it…it’s not. that’s the genius in Opasinski, he makes it look like it’s no big deal. I bet he gets big bucks for making things look like “easy.” well deserved!!!

  11. Carlos says:

    Looks worth a tuts membership, th only thing that looks dodgy is the smoke, it’s too transparent in my opinion, if you know what i mean.

    Either way this looks good :) Wish I had plus membership.

  12. i wish i had a plus tut now!

  13. Luis Craik says:

    wow really nice, keep it up and you’ll have me soon in your Plus-Tut data base ;)

  14. spiderm0nkey says:

    Looks awesome! Once I start work next week I’ll have to subscribe for a few months to see what I’ve been missing out on!

  15. Donald says:

    It looks pretty real, and it works simply great.

  16. I think this effect looks very realistic and I can’t wait to try it out on some buildings…like the building I work in. That would be a lot of fun.

    nice tut! I am actually halfway through this tut now, premium membership is good, but I thought the images used are inside the download file as well T_T. I had a hard time struggling for my own stock, luckily there’s deviantart.
    ^^
    cheers!
