3D object and camera tools (Photoshop Extended)
The 3D object and camera tools become active when a 3D layer is selected. Use the 3D object tools to change the
position or scale of a 3D model; use the 3D camera tools to change the view of the scene. If your system supports
OpenGL, you can also use the 3D Axis to manipulate 3D models and cameras. See
“3D Axis (Photoshop Extended)”
on page 523.
Move, rotate, or scale a model with 3D object tools
You can use the 3D object tools to rotate, reposition, or scale a model. While you manipulate the 3D model, the camera
view remains fixed.
For tips about each 3D tool, choose Panel Options from the Info panel menu , and select Show Tool Hints. Click a
tool, then move the cursor into the image window to view tool details in the Info Panel.
