Here's a quick paper craft project that will allow you to use up those ribbon remnants! This project took about an hour to make. A great ...

I want to make a picture of a character for a series of greeting card, and don't want to have to redraw it each time I put the character in a different position. Can 3d modeling solve this for me?

Hey,

3D modelling is a very complicated process and would be pointless to learn if u only want to create a flat image of each pose.

There is a 3D anime program, I forget what its called. but it kinda works like Futurama, in that the object is drawn in 3D but outputted in 2D.

Ur better off drawing the character from each perspective- cos that's what u'd end up doing in 3D modelling anyway.

goodluck.

My sister's friend made her a gorgeous stamped greeting card and all along the stamp lines she did something to make the outline of the stamp on the paper to make it raised, shiny, 3D. I would love to learn this process but haven't found a simple explanation. My sister told me that her friend had to use some type of powder and then had to blow hot air on it with an embossing tool-is this correct? Is it expensive?

You have to use a special embossing ink and embossing powder. And yes you do need a heat gun. They come in a range of prices and sizes and shapes. You would need to just go to a hobby store and price one. You ink your paper and before the ink dries, shake the powder on and tap the excess off then heat set it.

Added: What I have found easier and cheaper, is to get a little bottle of clear crystal fabric paint and after I stamp my image, I go over the lines with the fine tip of the paint. It draws the color of the regular ink you use up in to the paint and it is raised, plus you get the pretty crystal glitter shine. I bought the Polly Mark Dimensional fabric paint, but you can use any brand you like. It only cost about 99 cents. Just be sure to buy the little bottle, because the tip is real fine so that you can get a fine line or add pressure and get a thicker line...Might be worth a try before you spend the extra money on a heat gun and special ink and powder...This is how I made my Christmas cards this past year. They turned out beautiful.

Added..More: After the request to be added to your contacts, I took a look at your profile...I LOVE TO GARDEN ALSO!! It has turned into something my children love to do with me. It is just such a peaceful learning experience for us all. Thank you.

Photoshop help: 3D question?
I am trying to make a greeting card look like its open, so that I can display it on my website, where I am attempting to sell my greeting cards. The 3-D option on photoshop 7.0, which is what I have, makes cubes and circles but I cannot seem to create flat shapes, such as cards. I could do this without the render tool, but because I already have my cards created, it would be nice to make them appear as though they are open, and the image on the front of the card (if it were slightly open) would not be flat, but look right. I hope I am making sense! Can anyone out there help me?

basically make a rectangle half the size you want your card then go to edit>transform>perspective and adjust it till you get what you like then copy then layer an go to edit>transform>flip horizontal move it over so it looks like you have a card

I saw this little segment on TV (CNN I think) about original/funny greeting card sites...and they featured this website that allows you to upload photos and does REALLY cool slideshow with it (like braking down/splitting pictures, 3D, and all that). But I forgot the name of it! Has anybody heard of anything like taht?
