Live Photoshop 3D

Hi!
i was amazed when i found out that this was possible but was very pissed to find out that I cant make this work. when i import it, the .psd file is just a 2d image like a normal boring picture in the composition. it doesn't have any cameras or null obejct in it. i've done everything but for some reason my after effects can't read the .psd file with the 3d layers or there's something wrong with my photoshop.
when i right click it (02:53 on the video) a message appears:
after effects error: no photoshop 3d layers were found
importing it and enabling live photoshop 3d like in the video doesn't work for me
so basically what i've done is open a .3ds or .kmz or. DAE (since i can export models in three different formats and from what i've been told photoshop can handle them) i didn't do anything to them and just saved them as a .psd. then i imported them in after effects clicking the live photoshop 3D and making it a composition. after that it just imports it just like a normal 2d image without a camera and null object inside a composition.
i have cs5 of photoshop and cs4 of after effects.
thanks in advance!

Hi!
Thank you all for your help and answers but unfortunately the problem still persist....
I've re-Installed my Photoshop CS4 and done the same things again. Here it still doesnt work.
It's like i never even installed CS4. It still gives me the same results like before..
I dont wanna give up but this is getting on my nerves...
Thanks anyways guys!

Live Photoshop 3D Import Help

I've been trying to get a 2D logo imported into after effects as a 3D image with a slight extrusion to add some depth. I can create the image as I want in photoshop as a 3D image layer, and I save it as a .PSD file. Whenever I try to import the image into after effects as a composition, I do not get the checkbox for "Live Photoshop 3d". I've been looking around, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help?

Seems odd to remove features.
Look up the "It was too much work" threads on this forum for explanations why things got chopped.
What was it replaced with?
Nothing. you need to buy plug-ins to import 3D geometry.
I've tried the extrusion in AE, but it only works on solids.
Read the help! It works with text and shape layers.

please help me

Surely you realize the simple issue this creates: neither solution works for CS6 users. Hence, why I feel like such users are left in the cold when it comes to importing 3D.
Am I crazy? What am I missing about this simple issue? Pre-CS6 users didn't have to pay extra to import 3D; CC users don't have to pay extra to import 3D; why should I?
After Effects (any version) doesn't have the capability to directly import and use 3D model files, if that's what you desire. Plug-ins for After Effects CS6 like Video Copilot's Element 3D, AtomKraft, and Zaxwerks ProAnimator and 3D Invigorator allow you to work with 3D files. Cinema 4D and 3DS Max have integrated workflows with After Effects CS6 that exchange their 3D data with After Effects.
Outside of this, a common workflow is to render your 3D model to a sequence file, and then to import that into After Effects. This works regardless of which 3D modeling application or which version of After Effects you are using. Here's some information and links to resources:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/after-effects/using/preparing-importing-3d-image-files.html#impo rting_and_using_3d_files_from_other_applications
There's lots of information available about workflows between 3D modeling applications and After Effects that don't involve Photoshop. If you're having trouble finding what you need, I recommend creating a new thread with specific information about what applications you're using and what you're trying to accomplish.

Can you still import a 3D photoshop file into After Effects to edit in 3D? (not getting the Live Photoshop 3D choice?)

trying to import a 3d photoshop file into ae, but it is not coming through as a 3D file despite the hundreds of videos that I have watched on it. I am not getting the live photoshop 3d tick box as an option on import...help!!!

No, these features have been removed since CS6.

I`d like to import a 3D-psd-file. Missing the "Live Photoshop 3D"-field in the import-window.

I got a 3D-file (3ds). I would like to animate it.
In Photoshop there all layers and the gfx is perfect.
Saving.
While importing the file into After Effects, I should chose "Live Photoshop 3D", but there isn't any possibility.
This should be an add-on, plug-in, etc.
Does anybody know, how to get it..?

What version of AE do you have? If you have CC or CC 2014 (versions 12 and 13 respectively), you can use Cinema 4D to render this. Cinema 4D Lite comes free with After Effects! details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects CC

3D photoshop file to After Effects live photoshop 3D help CS5!

please help,
I can make my photoshop 3D logo but I try to open the .PSD in After Effects and change it to a compossision and enable live photoshop 3D, but when I open the comp its just a 2D picture and only has 1 layer and no cameras. My 3D logo is from a imported .jpg that I made in illustrator. I select it then make a repousse and it works but the problem is importing to AE. I've tried 3D > Export > 3D file saved as photoshop format, and I've tried saving as just a psd but they both do the same thing. All I get is a psd in after effects with only 1 layer containing my logo in 2D on a white background.
please help! what am I doing wrong?
much appreciation.

Probably, not too long to go...

AE will not import live photoshop 3d correctly

Hi, I've spent a lot of time researching forums, watching tutorials trying to solve this problem to know avail. I have found some threads that have the same problem, but no solutions have worked. I'm using CS4 in both photoshop and AE. My problem is that no matter what I do I cannot correctly import photoshop 3d live layers into aftereffects and have them work properly. Basically once I save or create the 3d file or 3d shape as a psd, when I import it into AE it does not create the comp correctly where it creates the camera, and controler layer (per the tutorials I have watched). It simply brings in the PS file as a straight 2d. Here is what I have done and tried.
1) within photoshop the 3d object all works fine. I've tried numerous models and even used the adobe car model that was part of the tutorial There seems to be no issues when working inside PS. I have even created just a simple 3 d shape in PS and tried importing that into AE with the same results. I am saving all of these as .psd files.
2) When importing I have made sure that the import as live photoshop3d layer box is checked
3) Within AE after importing, I have opened the comp that was imported to see if the camera layer and controler layer are there...they are not, only the PS layer (2d) is there.
4) I havewithin aftereffects to edit original on the layer which brought me back into PS, I made a slight color change and saved and when going back into AE it reflected the changes I made correctly. I tried to do this to make sure dynamic link was working correctly.
5) I tried to manually within AE to convert the layer to a photoshop live 3d layer (since it didnt do it correctly upon initial import) I get an error message that reads.... no photoshop live 3d layer found.
It just seems that upon import, AE is not recognizing that it is a 3d photoshop live layer, thus does not create the necessary things (camera and controller) as needed. Are there any preferences that I may need to enable within AE for this to work. Truthfully I don't know for sure that it couldnt be a problem with PS, but since everthing 3d seems to work correctly in PS, I believe the problem has to do with AE.
I'm really at a loss at what else to do, everything else in AE works fine. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds rather odd, but I remeber there was an issue along those lines that got fixed in the 9.0.2 update. If you haven't already, try to install it. Also check the rendering style of your model in PS. You may have assigned something there that would not produce visible results and thus AE may ignore it. As a last thing, check your OpenGL settings in AE and PS and your graphics driver. Since PS handles this as a hardware accelerated feature, bad graphics configuration might also make it go boom... For more details it would help if you could produce some screenshots of your settings and import attempts....

Edit: Definitely make sure to turn off the sequence option in the AE import dialog! This might, after all, be the problem here...

No 'import as live photoshop 3D' option

I have created a 3D sphere in PS CS6 and want to import it into after effects to animate. But when I import the model the option to import as a live 3d model is not coming up? Why is this? What have I done wrong?

Element doesn't "make" 3D models, it just renders them using OpenGL. It can produce extruded text and similar just like CS6 itself and comes with a selection of basic shapes and models. Additional models can be bought or downloaded for free from their site, TurboSquid and a million other sites (some of mine: http://myleniumstuff.com/category/3d-rendering/) For more info refer to the VC website. If you need to craft your own models, you still need a 3D program liek the fgree Blender...

Optimizing Speed for 3d objects imported from Photoshop

I imagine this must have been covered somewhere, but does anyone have any suggestions for maximizing speed in After Effects with 3d objects created in photoshop. I am working 1080 HDTV timeline, and imported a 3d globe I made with bump, diffuse, and opacity textures and it is bogging down after effects like crazy! Like 2 to 5 minutes to render one frame at draft quality and quarter resolution ram preview with live update turned off.... and way to much of the spinning beach ball....I have an 8 core Mac Pro with 16GB ram! It is even to slow to open the photoshop file.... Also, when I render the image out I get a message in the Ram Preview box saying "Incompatible effect or expression. Multiprocessing is turned off". Is there something in the Memory Management settings that I should alter. I am running off of a firewire 800 drive...If this is covered in another post somewhere and somebody can point me to it I apologize for the redundency.

> "Re:You can do a few things on the Photoshop side to decrease the complexity of
the 3D object for previews (basically making a proxy)."
> I imagine you mean setting the anti-aliasing settings on the 3d model to
better or draft and playing with the different custom settings? So the
live photoshop file in AE will remember the last setting used and saved
with .psd file?
Yep.
> Also, will using a RAID drive or running on an internal hard drive increase
performance at all? I am running on a Firewire 800 drive right now.
I don't now how much it's going to affect this specific case but, yes, I strongly recommend running everything always on fast local drives. That's pretty high up on my list of things to do to improve performance.

3D Cube Import from Photoshop Problem?

Hi Everyone. I am trying to import a 3d cube wrap from PS into AE. It does import, but rather than being a 3d cube, it remains two dimensiona. I did convert to a 3d layer, but that still flattens the cube when I try to spin it. Thanks Roman

From this page:
When you import a PSD file into After Effects as a composition and that PSD file contains a 3D object layer, you can choose to make the layer a live Photoshop 3D layer. If you don’t choose the Live Photoshop 3D option when you import the file, you can convert the layer to a live Photoshop 3D layer in After Effects by choosing Layer > Convert To Live Photoshop 3D.
There is a lot more on that page you should probably look over.

I have problems in after effects to import caps 3d generated in Photoshop,

Good days, at present I have a complete package of cs6.
With this package of cs6 I have problems in after effects to import caps 3d generated in Photoshop, the message is " not available: Live photoshop 3d ".
Who is the best sulución?

After Effects does not import live Photoshop 3D objects.
As Mylenium says, you need to use Cinema 4D (included with After Effects CC), Invigorator, Element 3D, or some other plug-in or application to bring 3D items into After Effects.

After Effects CS4 Performance (BRUTAL)

Despite the comments on this board (from Adobe themselves) claiming improved After Effects CS4 performance over its predecessor, my experience is the exact opposite. This version seems half baked to me.
AE CS4 isn't just SLOW, and by slow I really mean dreadfully unusable, It's unstable as well. Even running the same template files that came with CS3 and 4, there's a huge difference in render time, ram previews etc. When you can't even rotate a simple cube without crashing, there's some real problems, and this is just the beginning. The previous version had no show stopping issues, it performed like a trooper. This latest however, I can't see how I could use it day to day for anything..
There is no other software on this machine other than, CS4, Firefox, and Lightwave 9.5, which by the way, handles textured objects with hundreds of thousands of polys, not 6. I first get an error message that reads as followed;
After effect error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Live Photoshop 3D"
followed by, After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See... blah blah blah..
By the way this occurs with or without OpenGl enabled.
Systems specs
8GB Ram
Q6600
Hard Drive space 4TB, install drive, 156 GB free
Vista Business 64
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS (driver 178.13)
This is the same machine that ran CS3 very well, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with this rig..

Fausto,
I have no problem importing or animating your PSD - no crashes, at least. The resolution is very high. I got better results by cutting the resolution of your PSD in half, which may or may not be an option for you. I improved responsiveness a little by setting the PS 3D layer to "Use Photoshop Transform" in AE.
But ultimately, the responsiveness of the 3D layer in AE is impossible to work with, except with Live Update disabled. It seems like a RAM issue to me. What size are the texture layers on each side of the cube? If they're all 3000x2000-ish like your document, and you're working at full res, consider that AE has to hold all six images in RAM, plus manipulate them in 3D.
My own sense is that the whole 3D layer thing simply isn't ready for that kind of resolution in AE yet. And probably wont be until true 64bit code allows the storage of all those textures in RAM more easily.
As a side note, don't know if it's my location or your server, but your 74Mb image took me almost 2 hours to download.

3D PSD file import : how to change 3D anchor point in AE ? Challenge..!

Hello everyone,
I've successfully imported a 3D file from Photoshop Extended CS4 into AE CS4. In AE, I can sucessfully animate rotation of the 3D object.
Here's the problem : I cannot change the 3D object's anchor point. I've tried changing the anchor point's coordinates on the controller layer of the 3D object layer, the numers change, but the anchor point remains at its initial position, as if it was locked.
I also thought changing the anchor point in PS Extended before importing the file into AE, but PS Extended does not seem to have an anchor point changing tool.
So I even reasoned back one step : changing the anchor point in my 3D software since the beginning. Well, not possible because PS Extended seems to create an average position for the anchor point when impoting a 3D file from a third party software. So useless changing the coordinates in the 3D software.
Photoshop Extended 3D is the only possible workflow to import 3D objects into AE that I know of.
So, is is possible to change the 3D anchor point directly in After Effects ? What blocks that point from being changed ?
This is quite a challenging problem, good luck for finding a solution ! I'm very sure that this technique is commonly needed and used when working in 3D, and that it will be of great help for many designers that want 3D in After Effects !
Thanks again !
Note : please do not confuse simple After Effects standard 3D layer, with the 3D PSD file import layer, these are two totally different types

Any further forward with this anyone?
This is driving me insane as well...
I'm trying to create a simple comp within AE and have my clients logo fly on behind their text while rotating in 3D space.
The idea is for it to rotate on the X axis, but rotate within the logo itself (straight through the axis within the logo itself)
But when I try to rotate it, the AP is about 2.5 "logo depths" away from the logo, so when the rotation of any axis starts it looks ridiculous.
Are Adobe really trying to tell us that moving the AP is not possible within AE for imported Live Photoshop PSD files?
Hopefully a solution comes along soon as I cannot for the life of me figure out a workaround to the problem......
Cheers,
Paul.

After effects cs4 crashes on import

ok, what am I doing wrong?!? I created a 3d object in photoshop and when import it into ae it crashes, spinning pinwheel...no crash reporter or anything! Just an unresponsive ae with the spinning pingwheel...
anyone run into this? is there a way around it?

Before anything, are you sure it doesn't come back? Because some rendering modes and options in Live Photoshop 3D can take a lot of time to update (when you're within Photoshop, you get a rough OpenGL based preview and then you have to wait for the proper render. Since AE uses a headless version of the PS 3D engine to render, you only get the final render. And this can take time). It could not be the case for you, but it's worth checking it. Give it some time, and see if the app updates after that. Some 3D rendering options are expensive in terms of time, in any renderer.

Recommended development workflow for Newbie

Hello to this forum.
I am a non-professional developer. I have a site for my
images and various dance quicktimes that I originally created with
Go-Live, photoshop and image ready - no flash, spare design. The
workflow should be obvious from the tools. photoshop for the page
layouts, image ready to create roll-overs using layer styles, and
go-live to generate-manage the web pages and links.
I know i have to dump go-live, it won't even install on my
mac. here is my question.
Can i use photoshop to create the page layouts and have
layers with styles applied for roll-overs that link seamlessly into
dreamweaver, or should i go with fireworks which I know nothing
about.
One thing that I would like... I have many quicktime
"gallery" pages and photo pages that I want to have the same header
and footer elements, links, etc.. They differ by the actual image
in the center of the page and a title. I would like to be able to
define the header and footer elements either in photoshop, or
fireworks or dreamweaver so i only need to change one thing if i
modify the header and or footer and leverage it as a template for
all the pages.
Here is the link to my site which I largely want to replicate
with just some mild modifications.

I already own photoshop cs4 so if that works then there is an
obvious advantage.

The good news: yes.
The bad news: if you do this I will find you and hurt you.
One should never use a graphics editor to write HTML just the
same as one
should never use an HTML authoring application to create
graphics (even if
you could). The HTML written by Photoshop, ImageReady,
Fireworks, you name
it, is suitable only for prototyping not production. Why?
It's not
'sturdy' - it's written to EXACTLY duplicate the layout
resident in the
graphic, and it does a good job at that, but as soon as you
begin to add
content to that 'hardwired' layout HTML, the shape of the
contents changed
to something unanticipated back when you exported the HTML
and the layout
will break apart in unexpected ways. Using such HTML accounts
for perhaps
30% of the posts and problems on this forum. Add to this the
well-documents
and easy to demonstrate problems associated with using
'layers' as a primary
layout tool, and you are in deep water without a life jacket.
What should you do? You don't have many good alternatives:
1. Hire someone to do the work for you and mentor you at the
same time
2. Learn enough HTML and CSS that you can effectively work
with Dreamweaver
(which will *expect* you to know this) and avoid the pitfalls
mentioned
above
3. Blast ahead and produce a site that breaks unexpectedly,
conveying an
undesirable impression to your visitors
> One thing that I would like... I have many quicktime
This, too, is a problem. QT is not the best format for your
video since
there are MANY people who do not have it installed. Flash
video would be
the ideal choice here, due to its commanding install numbers.
Sorry to paint such a harsh reality for you.
The final bit of good news, though, is that your simple site
should be very
easy to do in Dreamweaver.
