According to the company,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>3D Invigorator for Photoshop allows you to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalanarchy.com\/3Dinvig\/create.html\">create complex 3D objects<\/a> using Adobe Illustrator files and fonts. You can easily model 3D objects based on the vector files, adding depth, bevels, and other 3D features. The drag and drop materials makes it simple to apply reflective, transparent, or bump mapped textures to your objects. You can combine textures, adjust the position of the textures, and add multiple lights to give every 3D object a different look.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although the plug-in doesn&#8217;t (yet) create native 3D layers in Photoshop, it works with Smart Objects, meaning you can go back and modify 3D geometry, lighting, etc.  The tool costs $199, supports Photoshop CS2-CS4 on Mac &amp; Windows, and is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalanarchy.com\/3Dinvig\/demo.html\">available for download<\/a> as a tryout from Digital Anarchy&#8217;s site.<\/p>\n<p><i>Tangentially related: Corey Barker of NAPP <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetphotoshop.com\/friday-in-3d.html\">points out<\/a> that <a href=\"http:\/\/archive3d.net\/\">Archive3D.net<\/a> &#8220;offers an enormous collection of free 3D models in a number of different categories.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At NAB this week I got to chat with Zax Dow, creator of the new 3D Invigorator plug-in for Photoshop.
