    Was anyone else unable to get the “create a new 3D object from the rounded rectangular shape” step to work on the “Ice Cube With Cherry Inside” tutorial? There’s no place for comments on the tutorial itself, so I thought I’d ask here. I’ve used these 3D tools in Photoshop before, but every time I tried it with this shape I got and error message that there was no selection to use the 3D Repoussé on. I got this error with as a vector mask, a rasterized mask, when it was just pixels on a layer… I tried a lot of things. XD Let me know if anyone has any solutions!
