techy stuff: 3D Studio Max, Illustrator CS and Photoshop CS

--- --- --- --- ---

I wanted to do something a little more vectorised and 'techy' with this piece. I had been playing around in Illustrator for a while and the idea for very simple vector boxes evolved. I used 3DS to get some random box shapes going then expanded on them in Illustrator and pushed it all about in Photoshop. A suprising amount of this image is constucted not from mesh or vector, but Pixel stretches in Photoshop - a technique I have quite got into recently.

The only frustration I had with this image is the use of a single colour space. I kept trying to add an accent colour to the piece but it just didnt work. In the end the inclusion of the 4 Red 2D circles was all that was needed to lift the whole piece. Quite a simple solution to this problem.
