Dramatic Lighting Effects Using Depth Maps

Join Corey Barker and take your 3D skills to new depths with depth maps! In this class Corey takes you through a project that starts with a single 2D photo and transforms it into a dramatically lit 3D scene. Download the starter image and follow along as you learn how to create the depth map, apply it to the photo, adjust the lighting for dramatic effect, add realistic touches, and even add text. Be sure to check out the <a href="https://members.kelbyone.com/course/cbarker-3d-effects-2d-filters/">second class</a> in this bundle too!
