How to do 3D Anamorphic Artwork and Sidewalk, Street, and Driveway Art

Step 2 Place object in the grid.

Then I inserted my artwork that I wanted to be 3D.
As shown the cigarette lighter.

Then group your object and the black grid.

I had to convert the lighter to vectors, or the
ADD perspective effect would not work.

Ok, on to the the next step.

Oh, I just seen your other picture, below.

I think it looks pretty good, but your color is off.

Send me the original picture, and I will see what I come up with.
Good job, though....

Ok, here is what I would do.
Can you take a picture of just the bottle/jar.
Make sure it fills the picture. (not far away)
Take the picture at the perspective you want it at.

Then send me the picture and I will see what I can do.
As, I will size it in Coreldraw after I vectorize it.

Hey Allstar,
Umm, well you picture looks very small.
(I really cannot tell what they are? Ink bottles?)
The one I viewed, anyways.

Can you send me the photo via my e-mail.

I will see what I come up with.


You have to convert them to vectors as Coreldraw will not let you add perspective to a .jpg or .bmp.
I don't know about photoshop, though...

Hi~~ May I know how to convert the object to vectors?

[Greasetattoo]

Sure, In Coreldraw, just convert the Bitmap to vectors. Go to the Bitmap menu, and select, Trace Bitmap. That will trace your bitmap and convert it, to vectors. Hope this helps.
