Hi, i was wondering how can i create a “grid” over a face
i have an image of someone, and i want to create a grid over her face, something that looks like a 3d structure…
a) make it in photoshop with a nice bevel & emboss option
b) make it in 3d, it will look better, and then compose it in photoshop
*edit: do you mean on the skin ? you’re gonna have problems here since you need to have some perspective, i’d then recommend making it in 3d over a head model…
dang I have a tut for this but it is in my favorites on my other computer. When I get home ill post it if you have not figured it out by then
tnx 
example somewhere?
you could use a pen tool and just try to work out the places where it would be stretched/squished… might take a while though 
morse - imagine a 3d wireframe…
or, make up a b/w image of the face, with white being the extruded part’s of the face, and just cram a displacement thingie on it, using the b/w image
by which I mean use displacement on a regular grid.
or use the pen to do curves that fit the face…
i’ve done what you’ve said elisoe, but i cant get it to work, i dont get what i want.
look, i get this
yeah, that doesnt do it for me
Follow along here to map a texture image to a person…
-
Open the image you want to apply the texture to
-
Make a dupe…Image>Duplicate…Then go to Image>Mode>Greyscale
-
Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur…(to the greyscale image)(2px for 72dpi…4 or 5px for 300dpi images)…Go to File menu and save the blurry greyscale image as a .psd file and name it map…(you’ll need that later !!!)
-
Open the “grid” image you want to place over the image…Use the move tool to drag the texture image on top of the original image
-
Press Ctrl+A…Then go to Filter>Distort>Displace…Enter 10% for Horiz & Vert Scale, under Displacement Map>Stretch to Fit and for Undefined Areas>Repeat Edge Pixels>OK
-
When the “Open File” asks to “choose displacement map” locate the “map.psd” from Step 3>Open.
-
Press Ctrl+D…In the Layers Palette click the eye to hide the texture layer…Highlight the original image layer…Select the background area of that layer…(Magic wand if it’s a solid background is easiest, otherwise the pen or lasso tool will be needed)
-
With that selection still “active” click on the texture layer to make that the active layer…Press Backspace…Hit Ctrl+D
-
Change the Blend mode of this layer to Soft Light…If Soft Light is too soft try Overlay or even Multiply for a darker effect…Lower Opacity if it seems too intense…Use the eraser tool on the texture layer to erase over the eyes and/or other parts to complete the effect.
There you have it…!!!
thank you :), this looks a lot closer
No problem…
But does the grid have to be green…???:-\
no, that’s not even the image i’m going to apply the effect to, i just used it for testing
could we have the original pic of the girl (britney?) to show you other ways of doin’ it?
I feel another battle coming on…Map a texture to a photo…any takers…???..:pirate:
hhmmmm…battle
Gotta take down mlk for shaming us with that metal texture…
