In this tutorial I will teach you how to use PS to create a simple but cool 3D space special effect...

Let’s take a look at the final effect:

1. Create a new document, here I use 600*600 pixels. Create a new layer and fill it with white, name it "Blocks". Then execute Filter-Stylize-Extrude, and the settings are as follows:

2. Execute the Image-Adjustment-Levels command. The specific settings are as shown in the figure below:

3. Execute Image-Adjustment-Reverse. At this time, your picture should be similar to the picture below:
