This gap between a flat sketch and a dimensional render can stall projects and limit how artwork is presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tutorial demonstrates how to use&nbsp;<strong>Nano Banana Pro<\/strong>&nbsp;in Photoshop to bridge that gap instantly. We\u2019ll cover the simple, three-step process to add realistic lighting, shadows, and form to your 2D artwork, unlocking new possibilities for presentations, client pitches, and portfolio pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-step-by-step-from-2d-to-3d-in-60-seconds\">2. <strong>Step-by-Step: From 2D to 3D in 60 Seconds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Prepare Your 2D Artwork<\/strong><br>Open your chosen 2D illustration in&nbsp;<strong>Photoshop<\/strong>.
