Painting on a 3D object

You can paint directly onto 3D objects in Photoshop CS5 Extended using any Photoshop paintbrush, and the paint follows the object’s contours.

1.	Select the pyramid layer, and then select the Brush tool ( ) in the Tools panel.
2.	Click the Foreground Color swatch in the Tools panel, and select a bright green color. (We used R=25, G=207, B=16.)
3.	Select a soft, 65-pixel brush, and then paint the tip of the lower pyramid. The green paint follows the edges of the object, and affects nothing else.
