Export a model from 3DS Max to Photoshop that retains materials, texture, light etc..?


I bought a .max model that has materials, textures, lighting. When I export it from Max to a .3DS or .OBJ, and then import that into Photoshop CC, all I see is a grey shape.

If anyone could guide me in the right direction how to export and retain those things I'd really appreciate it.


Solution

  • Place the textures in the same directory as your .obj file when importing the file, grey 3d model means that textures does not get applied. Also when exporting .obj make sure you tick the 'export material' as well, this will then create a .material file containing the translated materials.
