Grid Question...

I am still somewhat new to Photoshop, but I've seen something I want to attempt.:eek:

Can anyone tell me how people take an image, of lets say a car, and then they have like half of it looking normal, but the other half is a 3-Dimensional grid look...

A good example is this picture I found of Marshall Faulk at http://www.marshallfaulk.com/iplayer.html

It's the picture off to the right!

Thanks in advance for any help.

You're going to have to draw that yourself.
There isn't any magic program that could tell what kind of shape a 2D image has... :p

Just grab to the penTool, and start drawing.

That's for creating the grid behind the football player.

well, i've done something similar to that, and i used a 3ds max. i had the model, rendered it normally, saved it, then i would make the model wireframe only, rendered it and saved it, and then in photoshop you make it transparent using the gradient tool. i had a tutorial on doing this, but can't find it right now. if i find it, i'll post it.

edit: oh, and what's the deal with nfl players having there own personal site, lol, marshall faulk, warren sapp, jeez. :D

....well sure, yes, if you are doing that to a render!
I thought you were doing that to a photograph or something... :p

ok, this isn't the exact tutorial i used when i first learned how to do it, but it's similar, hope it helps.

I would like to do it to a picture I have... By the sounds of it I'm gonna have to do it by hand:(

I had hoped their was a quick way.

nope, no quick way... just do what powersquid said

Hello:
Maybe you can use poser and potoshop. I just created something fast so you can see http://usuarios.lycos.es/spighita/caballo.jpg.
Exported it once as wireframe to photoshop and then the original. Worked with feather and that´s it. Hope it helps
