Create a 3-D flat panel monitor and display a 2-D picture inside ...

Ok, I think this is what I want to do, 'Create a 3-D flat panel monitor and display a 2-D picture inside!' But I have no idea how. How can I do this using Photoshop?

 

I have no idea what that even is
do you have an example of some kind you could show?

 

I need to look around to find a good example, but I want to reference the following DHTML web design:

http://www.dhteumeuleu.com/dhtml/nav-3D.html

You can see that objects in the space have the 3D look. I want to add objects here, but I want to create 3D-ish objects using 2D pictures. I figured that I can place pictures inside frames or flat TV monitors, make them look 3D and put them here.

Does it make sense?

 

He wants to make a monitor and have a picture inside it

For the monitor, try pen tooling it.

 

Pen Tooling is for illustrator m8. In order to create a 3D monitor in Photoshop I'd rather use Rectangular Marquee Tool and Perspective. It wold take a while though...

 

It's not easy to create 3D Objects in Photoshop, though.
I can create a 3D Flatscreenmonitor for you in Cinema4D for 20$. I'll make a fully customizable 3D Object.

If you're interested, just contact me ( PM )

Hmmm ...

Can you recommend me a good tutorial on this? I looked around a bit, but I haven't really found a comprehensive tutorial that teaches me how to create 3D(-ish) objects using Photoshop.

 

sure! Some techniques on creating simple 3D objects can be found here
