We will learn about using masks, sculpting folds in fabric, adding skin detail, and using textures to create a base for our Polypainting. Then we will make some passes which we will compose together in Photoshop to create the final image.
This should give you a good understanding of how to take a concept from start to finish and create a nice still for your portfolio or to put online.

Digital-Tutors - Bringing Photographs to Life with 3D Layering in After Effects
Duration: 5h 18m | Video: AVC (.flv) 1280x720 15fps | Audio: AAC 44.1KHz stereo | Level: Intermediate | Language: English | 3.35 GB
Genre: eLearning

In this series of After Effects tutorials, we will learn how to create a 3D fly-through effect in After Effects with assets created from images that we break down in Photoshop.
We begin in Photoshop with the images and start to dissect the photos to get the parts we need for building our shot. We learn a few masking and painting techniques to fill in the gaps for some of the areas that are covered up in the photos. Then, we dive into After Effects and start building our scene by laying the ground, sky, and tree layers.
After we've added and built the assets we need, we start to layer on the atmosphere effects. We create dust and fog particle systems using Trapcode's Particular plug-in. We also add a few lens effects to make the whole shot feel more realistic.
We finish off the tutorial with two lessons on sound design to make your entire video a truly immersive experience. This training is perfect for the intermediate After Effects user who wants to learn how to create a motion design project using realistic looking assets and sound to bring it to life. By the end of this training, you'll have created your own scary forest scene complete with a seamless camera transition from one composition to the next. You'll have also learned some of the basics for creating a project that uses sound in After Effects.
