Add a third dimension to your photos: 3D Plugins for Photoshop


Other 3D plugins for Photoshop

The following list is a showcase of old and discontinued 3D Plugins. Very little information is available for these old plugins that have been left abandoned by their developer company.

» KPT Scene Builder

Scene builder was part of KPT 6 now owned by Corel, who is selling this plugin as part of the KPT Collection. Although the Kpt collection specs states clearly that KPT 6 is part of the collection, the Scene Builder plugin it is not listed there. Chances are that it is simply an error, but if you plan to purchase KPT collection, check with the vendor if Scene Builder is included. As a bonus, KPT 3 had an extremely cool sphere generator plugin. KPT 3 was bundled with KPT 5 and KPT 5 is part of this KPT Collection.

» Zaxwerks Invigorator 3D

An amazing 3D model creator and rendering for Photoshop that has been discontinued by Zaxwerks. You won’t find any mention of it in the developer company site. They only sell an After Effects version. The link in the title points to an online seller where you can download a demo and eventually purchase the old version. As with every discontinued product, ask everything you need to know prior making the purchase.

» Knoll’s cybermesh

This extremely old plugin was very famous many years ago. With it you could turn a grayscale image into a 3D mesh and export it as a DXF to another 3D program. Only for Mac, no windows version. The link in the title points to a forum discussion of this plugin with some screen shots. Download links at that forum are dead.

That’s all the 3D I could find for Photoshop. If you are a developer and consider that your plugin should be listed here, leave a comment below and I will certainly check your plugin.
