Texture Blending
I am trying to figure out a way to make an object look like it was made out of sand.
Basically I have a wide shot looking down at the sand on a beach and I want to take an object and texture it so it looks like it was made out of sand. I am trying to accomplish this either in photoshop or after effects. The final shot would be in after effects but I am thinking it might be easier in photoshop. The object in question is a hotdog if anyone was wondering. The shot of the beach it a static shot with no movement. Any ideas or tips on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

This has worked for me. I don’t know if it will get what you want but try it. Cut the hot dog out from its background. Put the hot dog over the sand layer and use it as a alpha matte. Duplicate the hot dog and hit the eyeball button (on the top hot dog)to make it visible. Desaturate the top hot dog and adjust the levels so that the midtones are about 50% gray. Set its transfer mode to Overlay. How’s that look? If it needs more try using the hot dog as a displacement map on the sand as well.
