3DVia Hawks Big 3D Loogie Into Photo-Editing. 3DVia for Photoshop

by Josh on November 10, 2009 · View Comments

Look out Photoshop aficionados, the dev team over at 3DVia has been drinking their milk, running laps around the Dassault campus and has just launched the mother of all 3D plugins to ease your graphical design pains.

It’s 3DVia for Photoshop. The plugin that allows you to bring 3D models from 3DVia directly into Photoshop CS3 and up. If you use CS3, you know there are incredible 3D Layer tools that allow you to manipulate 3D objects and save a lot of time designing coolness. This plug-in… makes it even easier.


Of course Adobe Labs also has a Photoshop plugin for Google Sketchup, but how could that compare with being able to create and upload a SolidWorks model (or 30 other major formats) directly to 3DVia to bring into Photoshop? Yeah?

Here’s an overview video of the magic and yes, Mac support is coming soon.

Excellent! what a coincidence , my company just bought a seat of 3DVIA last week, An I just got Photoshop CS4 this weekend.. muahahahahaha!

Don't forget. With the collada export plug-in for SolidWorks, you can export collada files that can be directly imported into Photoshop.

Thanks for reminding Charles. I'd love to see some stuff you've brought in. I have yet to buy CS4. *sadness*

Ooo, so lucky. do you mean 3DVia composer? The plugin is free and so is 3DVia Shape and the 3DVia online account. let us know what you think of the plugin.

Yeah, we got Composer! I want to checkout Shape, but for some reason 3DVia.com is blocked by our company's firewall for being a “Social Networking” site.

A furniture outlet can be a terrific way to outfit your home or office in comfort and style at a low cost. Outlet stores have been around for years now and have been a way for anyone, but especially bargain shoppers to get the brand name and top of the line products such as clothing, shoes and even pots and pans, at lower prices than they would find at a regular retailer. The manufacturers are able to do this by cutting out some of the middlemen and selling more directly to the consumer.
