3D Brick Gif

Last week, Francoise asked me if I thought it would be possible to make a 3D animation of a rotating brick using photoshop.
My first instinct was to say no, but it sparked my curiosity enough to have a play with the 3D-layer tools. It took me a while to figure them out but I ended up discovering that its relatively easy to make simple 3D animations by working between the 3D tools and the video timeline. You can use your own textures, pick from a number of mesh templates and adjust colour and direction of lighting with out too much trouble.
This gif was exported with a huge amount of compression to make viewing easy but usually would be much higher quality.
