3d models in CS3 Many of you already tried hands on the Photoshop CS 3 extended version; if not then try now because Photoshop CS 3 added a support for 3d models. That means you can import 3d models, change model position, lighting or rendering, edit model textures and easily composite models with 2d content. Currently CS 3 supports five formats of models (u3d, .3ds, .obj, .kmz, and Collada file formats). Like to mention Extended version is $350 costly in comparison to standard version but Photoshop CS3 Extended enables you to edit 3D and motion-based content and perform image analysis. So, before buying first decides will you actually need these features... In this tutorial we will add an airplane (.3ds) in the middle of airport road in just few minutes. And believe me no authority will be able to detect who is the culprit. So, let’s start. Step 1: Firstly open you picture and then open a 3ds format file like any other file. Yes, you are right in 3d software’s we have to actually import the 3ds files but in CS3 just open it.
