I did try 2048 x 2048 and it worked perfectly. Once you choose the size, and above is the default, the image will appear as well as the layer setup. Initially, a screen asking what size the image should be will appear. The first step in working with models is to do File>Open and the supported file will open. let's look at the tools in Photoshop CS3 Extended for working with models.
But I don't want to get ahead of myself.įirst. The reason I am describing this is because some exported models come into Photoshop without their textures. The one I used is an e frontier model called "Scarab" from their special download collection of "Poser 3D Content for Use with Adobe Photoshop CS3". Below is a typical OBJ file which I will use for demonstration purposes. If, on the other hand, I export a Poser figure as an OBJ, for example, and import it into Vue, then Vue will ask me for the location of all the textures. If I import a native Poser file, and I have set in preferences the version of Poser I am using, and I have not changed the runtime settings, the appropriate texture maps should come in properly.
Let's take e-on software's Vue, for example. Sometimes you have to look for the textures, but more often than not, if that 3D file format can import into another 3D program, the textures will follow. When you bring a model into a program, you normally bring in a file that includes the textures that belong to the model. Models can be rotated, have lights applied to them, as well as styles.įirst let's look at how 3D models are normally brought into programs. Models can, also, be placed in 2D scenes. The textures of these can be modified and, then, applied to the model. You can now open 3D models in Photoshop CS3 Extended. The tools for working with 3D models open up a whole new avenue for Photoshop.
This review refers to a small portion of Photoshop Extended, basically the 3D modeling tools and what they can do. Recently, in my series of reviews on Adobe Premium suites, Design and Web and their individual programs, I wrote a review of Photoshop CS3 Extended.

When you install CS3 dirint the install you enter your new serial number.
The is only one Update to CS3 and several ACR version it ships with 4.0 all you only need do is download ACR 4.6 Updates links. CS3 was one of the best version of Photoshop out of Adobe doors. So you will need to downloade them manually and install them. Looks like CS3 menu help Update will not work.
