First of all, I just signed my 400th blog post today, and started to use my twitter account. Also, I wish to enlarge my audience by translating some of my posts in english.

Back to the subject with 3DVIA, for which I worked a year ago, who just released a new plugin making use of the 3D Layers in Photoshop CS3+. This is a good news as Dassault Systems keeps on the way of 3D for all.

Basically, the plugins lets you import 3D models by browsing those uploaded at 3DVIA.com, with the advantage of having thousands of models available freely. After the app to see the same models on the iPhone, this is a new step towards the massive use of 3D for (almost) everyone. After the models are imported, the 3D layer of Photoshop does the rest, as you can change the (basic) lighting and rendering, and blend it as any classic layer.
