3D Material Drop Tool

                  The 3D Material Drop Tool lets you sample a material/pattern/colour from one area/object and then
                  drop it into another area of your 3D model.  Follow the below steps to use the 3D Material Drop Tool:
                  Step 1:  Create a new document in Photoshop and draw a gradient.

                  Step 2:  Click on 3D menu in the Application Bar. A drop-down menu will appear.
                  Step 3:  Select the New Mesh from Layer option. A submenu will appear.

                  Step 4:   Select the Mesh Preset → Hat option. The 3D model of hat will appear. With the help of the 3D
                          model handles you can move your model in any direction.

                         INSERTING TEXT

                  Type tools allow you to add letters from keyboard to a document. You can use text on a variety of
                  projects such as adding it to your images to create a poster, a card, or invitation and much more. You
                  can also customise/modify the text to suit your needs. The type tools have their own layers. Normal
                  layer and text layer have different properties. You cannot put text directly in an image layer as other
                  image files can be opened in the same layer.
                  Photoshop provides four type tools which are Horizontal Type Tool, Vertical Type Tool, Vertical Type
                  Mask Tool and Horizontal Type Mask Tool. Let's learn about these.
