Robin55 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) I have made a quick tutorial on how to make 3D PC/Windows Game Cases (as requested) in Photoshop. I have been told the Action File also works in Elements. Any size cover can be used as long as they are full size covers (not Just the front of a cover). Please note that Because the action file is expecting to save to my directory on my PC changing the save location in both parts of the Action file may be necessary. The Action file is attached.

bundangdon Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Very useful! Thank you for sharing this could this method also be used for making (audio) cd cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get lucky it wont need much modification to get it exactly as you want. Or if you got cash you can just buy action files online there's loads of sites selling them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzashimaru Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 There's Cover Action Pro. It can make cd cases but also bottles, books, blu-ray, magazines etc. I'm using v2.5, 3.0 is also out but I don't need all the extras. It's not 1 click though, you need some basic knowledge of Photoshop. But it's easy enough. Consists of 2 actions. Makes a template, you add your images here. 3D conversion.

Undertherainbow Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Hey there! I was wondering if there is a way to increase quality (resolution) of output box? Right now its 567x878 when compared to original input image which was ~3k there is a loss of quality. LB is capable of resizing images, so any chance of getting atn which will make higher Q? Thanks!

Robin55 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 The reason for the small size is because I made 3000 boxes and the download would of been to large. But yes you can adjust the size to its original output. You simply go to the actions window in Photoshop click the arrow beside the "make box" action so you can see all the actions it preforms and you just untick the box next to "image Size" forth action from the bottom of the list. Now when you run the "Make box" action it will skip that action in the list and you will get the original size image output. hope that helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertherainbow Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thats perfect! I was looking at that line but it confused me because it didnt show lowered size ,just fit to : original size which was 3k. Anyway got it now! As for cover action pro i checked some examples and 3d box cover is quite inferior to yours it lacks reality and gloss as well as not near realistic box edges. So thanks for script ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertherainbow Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 @Robin55 Is there a chance to extend script to create a back side as well? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Should be possible by creating additional actions to Part 1 of the action file. might not be perfect in all cases though. But basically all you need to do is get the spine facing the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 so you need to add an action to cut the spine, an action to flip it, and then an action to "merge Visable". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertherainbow Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 No, i mean to make back cover beside front cover. I have some other scripts, but all have not nearly good jewel case so cant really use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertherainbow Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Like this: but with ur case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 well, I'm sure there is a way but it would be beyond my meager Photoshop ability's I'm afraid. The only thing I could suggest would be to make the back cover and the front cover separately then create a completely new set of actions to combine the two.

Undertherainbow Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I would still be missing the casing. If its not the same i havent done anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin55 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 well for the back part I would make the cover upside down and then put it through the actions to make the case and then in your new set you could just flip it around and add it to the back of the front part, just a suggestion. messy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertherainbow Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Alright i made the script with ur template that will make double box, front and back -- Added script to do it.Thanks and have fun!
