Texturizing Land for Photoshop Space Scene

Video Transcript

"All right, let's clearly define our continents and let's give them some color. As we can see here, we've got everything up already. What I'm going to do is choose my wand tool here, my magic wand and I'm just going to select here. I'm going to select in any of the black areas so what I've got here is my tolerance is set at 35, and erased contiguous blah is off; sample all airs is off so this should be pretty good right here so let's click over here somewhere. Not quite what I was looking for, let's de-select that let's click over here in the dark areas and you know want let's add this to it, actually no let's not do that. Let's go ahead and delete those layers; hitting delete and there our water jumps through at us like so. Pretty heavy populated piece of land here so let's control, command E select and let's click over here. Command E select just do contiguous here, there we go, let's just go ahead and delete this little island here because I don't like him and let's delete this little guy here. Let's give it a little more ocean because I live on a planet with a lot of ocean. I want my planets that I create to have a lot of ocean there we go. This is looking pretty good so let's go ahead and let's give this, let's go ahead and hit filter, let's let's see, let's render a lighting effect on this. We're going to give this land a little bit of texture here so let's take this dark brown and give this actually a lighter brown, there we go and let's see. Let's do a little bit of adjusting my settings here, plastic at 0 our metallic there we go. Let's take our mountainous, let's take our mountains way up. Let's give this a lot of texture so this, this looks all right let's go ahead and hit ok. and there we go. Look at that, actually our light's a little bit too hard right here especially from which way the sun's hitting it so we need to remember this as we go to place our planet, exactly where the light's coming from. Actually, I'm going to readjust this, but I'm not going to do this right now. We'll continue on and we'll do this in our next section."
