To make curved lines, you must use the Rounded Rectangle tool, then use any marquee tool, right click, and choose Load Selection, then just hit ok. And change the color. Changing the radius on the rounded rectangle tool makes the curved line a different size curve.

To make things sunken in and raised, you have to make a gradient, then use the color selection tool to select the brightest part of the gradient (must be bottom). Then use the pencil tool to make a straight line on top of the gradient. A color lighter than the gradient around the edges helps a lot.

There are many ways of blending, here is the easiest/simplest. To blend, you have to use things like feathering and so forth. Place a render into an image, duplicate it, and blur the first render layer(bottom one) with motion blur or gaussian then load the selection of the render, and hit CTRL + ALT + "D". Then set it to 8 and hit ok. Then hit CTRL + SHIFT + "I". Then hit the delete key. This will make it better blended.

To render, use the Polygonal Lasso tool. Right click the Lasso Tool and choose polygonal. Then use that tool to cut out your image. You can click to make points with that tool. If you mean 3D render, you need a 3D program, or try following a tutorial for Photoshop 3d Rendering.

Sorry if I screwed something up, or told you wrong stuff...but you didnt go indepth enough in question...hehe...hope I helped. Ask more questions, I try to answer with what I know. Good luck and ask for help.
