What I'm trying to demonstrate in this month's bonus tutorial is perspective, and as a secondary consideration, lighting. I'd like members to learn how to blend text into a scene, not simply add to existing content.

I try not to create easy tutorials. Not impossible or lengthy ones, either. But this one here will serve you well to learn when you need to add something photorealistic into a scene, in this case text and perhaps an illustration.

My Best,

Gary
