Strata releases 3D plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

strata 20070724 042048 Strata releases 3D plug ins for Adobe Photoshop CS3 ExtendedStrata has released three new plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended: Strata Design 3D[in], Strata Foto 3D[in], and Strata Live 3D[in]. These three plug-ins enhance the 3D capabilities of Photoshop by adding: 3D model-to-photo matching, Raydiosity rendering, spline and subdivision surface modeling, 3D model construction from photographs, and real-time 3D output for the web and PDF documents.

Strata Design 3D[in]
This plug-in includes three powerful tools: Match[in], Model[in] and Render[in] synchronized to the Strata 3D application engine. Using Match[in] users can add 3D content and match the perspective in their Photoshop CS3 Extended project. For example, designers of point-of-purchase displays can integrate a rendering of their design with a photograph of an actual store interior.

Model[in] will allow users to model new objects or modify existing objects and create new objects with tools such as extrude, lathe, and subdivision surface modeling. Users can import Adobe Illustrator software outlines to loft into 3D objects.

Using Render[in] users will have the ability to compose final scenes, set up sophisticated lighting using High Dynamic Range images, generate soft shadows, reflected light, refractive materials and more.

Strata Foto 3D[in] This plug-in allows the user to generate 3D models from photographs shot from a standard digital camera. These objects include the 3D model data as well as the photo-based surface textures. Users can turn a standard product photo session into a 3D capture process to create models for realtime 3D web pages and more.

Strata Live 3D[in] With Live 3D[in] the user will be able to create real-time interactive 3D content for web sites and PDF documents from Photoshop CS3 Extended 3D content. Interactive product brochures, assembly guides and in-person-like web experiences are among the exciting possibilities with this powerful new plug-in.
