Swift 3D PS

Features

Create, Bevel and Extrude 3D Text in Seconds- Creating 3D text could not be easier. Simply type your text string and select a font from your machine using the live preview. Swift 3D PS will even break apart your text characters or allow you to convert them into editable paths.

Draw 2D extrusions or lathes with a bezier pen tool- Swift 3D PS's Extrusion and Lathe editors allow designers to work with familiar 2D drawing tools to create simple to complex 3D objects. This simplifies the learning process and reduces the time required to turn 2D design concepts into 3D reality.

Import Vector Artwork & Logos from Illustrator or Flash- Import 2D vector AI or EPS files into the Swift 3D PS plug-in. It imports the existing colors and automatically extrudes your shapes, speeding up the overall workflow. You can fine tune the depth, bevels, paths and more before placing your extrusion back into Photoshop as a 3D layer.

Drag and Drop Bevel Gallery- Quickly bevel your text and extrusions by simply dragging-and-dropping your preferred bevel type onto your objects. Bevel depth and smoothness can then be manipulated in the properties panel.

Open and Edit Photoshop 3D Layers, or Import 3D Models- All of the model formats that Photoshop supports can be opened and edited with Swift 3D PS. Just launch the plug-in from an existing 3D layer or import .DXF models directly into the plug-in.

Enhance the Live 3D workflow with After Effects CS4- If you're an After Effects user, Swift 3D PS brings a ton of new power and possibilities to the Live 3D workflow between After Effects and Photoshop CS4 Extended.

Simplify 3D scene creation with targeted cameras and in-viewport lighting placement- Targeted cameras and lighting eliminate the guesswork from the 3D workflow, keeping you from wasting time seting up scenes through trial and error.

Advanced 3D Modeling Environment- In Swift 3D PS, your modeling possibilities are endless. With the advanced polygonal modeling environment you can create just about anything imaginable, or refine the objects, models and 3D layers you already have.

Configure the Interface with Up to Four Viewports- With up to four different views at a time, visualising your 3D scene is easier and modeling is a snap. You can even move between perspective and orthographic views in each viewport.

Apply Smoothing & Rounding to Defined Surfaces- Looking to make an objects surface a little smoother or rounder? The advanced modeling environment provides you with tools to choose specific areas of an object to smooth or round.

Drag and Drop 3D Model Gallery- Get a jump-start on your 3D scenes! Save any 3D object or entire models to the 3D Model Gallery. When you're ready to use a model from the Gallery, simply drag-and-drop it into your 3D scene.

Lighting Gallery with Professional Lighting Schemes- Set the perfect mood for your scene by simply dragging one of the professionally designed lighting schemes into your scene, or store your own lighting schemes for future use.

Extrusion & Lathe Galleries Speed Up Your Workflow- Save time in your 3D modeling and animation endeavors by using shapes from the Extrusion and Lathe galleries, or store your own commonly used 2D shapes, such as logos, in the gallery for future use.

Drag and Drop Animation Gallery- Simply drag your desired spin, fly-by, deformation and path animation from the animation gallery onto your object and you are good to go. Also, store any animation you create in the Animation Gallery for future use.

Animation Path Tools Produce Flawless Animations- You're in the drivers seat with Swift 3D PS's bezier path animation controls. Easily steer 3D objects, lights and cameras along the precise path you've defined in your scene. Animation doesn't get easier than this!
