Title: disc object question
Post by: archonforest on October 17, 2015, 01:54:43 PM
Is there any way to give dimension to the disc object? Meaning I need a disc shape but I need a fat disc  :D

You mean you want a cylinder?

If that's the case, then no. But you can just import one, they're commonly available to create in other 3d apps and probably also available to download for free somewhere.

OKay thx for the data. Just realized that I can make one in PS 3d in seconds and then export it as object.  :)

Yeah, especially when you see the 3Dvia plugin for their new 3D features. :( I need a better job.

Hey,

What are you guys talking about? I stopped looking at PS when CC started. I have a cs6 set of apps. But maybe I should start looking at it again?

What kind of plug-ins would make it worth it?

Since the OP was solved, and you guys are talking about it anyway, just going to ask about it here.

to badger:
PS CS6 with 3D. I using it to create 3d objects(very basic) and then import them into TG. Like I got a logo flat art file and loaded into PS CS6. I gave some dimensions to the logo and saved it as.obj. Then I used that logo in TG with a glass shaders and rendered it for a friend who needed the logo in 3d.
