Adding volumetric shadows and highlights

“

In this exercise, we are going to take our composition so far and we are really going to map him into that egg using a combination of shading and highlights as you see here. I have saved my progress as we have containment.psd, it's found inside the 05_combine folder and I am going to start things off by turning off my Man layer for just a moment and then turning on this eggness layer notice that it's that same egg mask this time filled with white and I have applied an Inner Shadow effect. We will take a look at that in just a moment but I am going to go ahead and drag this layer down so that it's underneath the Man layer and I am also going to reduce the Fill Opacity value to 10% which reduces the Opacity of the egg but leaves the inner shadow nice and strong. So you can see the contribution of this layer now. If I turn it off, we have got a flatter looking egg, if I turn it back on, we have got this kind of volumetric shadow. Alright, now I will go ahead and turn the man layer back…
