Press Render if you want to render now. Keep in mind that rendering will tie up your
machine and you cannot do anything in Photoshop until it is completed (although you
can cancel the render process).
On our systems, the Interactive export was i nished in 40 seconds, the Ray Traced
Draft was i nished in a little under i ve minutes, but the Ray Traced Final may take up
to two hours.

If you have rendered, you can test the movie by opening your system's media player
(QuickTime Player or Windows Media Player) and choose File > Open File to view
the movie. We have also provided two versions of the rendered i le in your lesson
folder named ps13_01_interactive.mp4 and ps13_01_draft.mp4 if you would like to
view these instead of rendering on your own.

When you are i nished viewing the video, return to Photoshop and Choose File >
Save to Save your i le, then choose File > Close.
Creating 3D Text
In earlier versions of Photoshop, a feature called Repoussé was added that allowed
you to convert 2D objects into 3D objects that you could then style in dif erent ways.
In Photoshop CS6, the Repoussé command has been removed from the program;
however, all its functionality remains. The Repoussé command has been relabeled as the
3D Extrusion option in the 3D panel. You can apply 3D extrusion to vector or pixel-based
layers, but you can also apply it to text. When applying these features to text, there is a
simple way to apply extrusion by using the 3D text button in the text options bar.
