PSD_to_3DS

Submitted by Xylonite on Fri, 2013-05-31 02:31

PSD_to_3DS allows you to texture objects and create textured planes directly from Adobe Photoshop.

Additional Info:

Usage :

In Adobe Photoshop make selection using one of the methods, use the hotkey F4 to activate PSD_to_3DS.

To create a textured plane: Switch to the Autodesk 3DSMAX, place the cursor at the desired viewport and place for your 3D model, call QuadMenu (right mouse button), select PSD_to_3DS.

For texturing: switch to Autodesk 3DSMAX, select a 3D object or its polygons ( in Edit Mesh ), call QuadMenu (right mouse button), select PSD_to_3DS.Apply_to_Seletion.

Notes for Adobe Photoshop :

Textures are saved in TIFF files with layers.

By default PSD_to_3DS adds small space when exporting.

For texturing use “Rectangular Marquee Tool“. Also, you can use PSD_to_3DS without selection, then PSD_to_3DS uses the entire image.

Notes for Autodesk 3DSMAX :

3D object is created at the point of Quad Menu call.

Transparency is being used.

For texturing faces, you should create a modifier Edit Mesh, and select polygons. Then use the PSD_to_3DS.Apply_to_selection. Texture is projected onto selected polygons.

Version Requirement:

3dsmax 2009+ and up

Other Software Required:

Photoshop cs4 and up

USER FRIENDLY EDIT!

Hi, hope you don't mind but I edited the script a lot. It was buggy on my end, it installed poorly. I also thought there were some options missing so I have made some extra ones, I also use batch files to create a working folder to the C Drive, along to the C Programs File folder. Your script just kept failing on me, I stripped it right back to the bare essentials just to make it work. Anyway, when you use Photoshop the script and action file are installed to the Program File under VK3DPRO and the working folder is called PSD_2_MAX under C:

Anyway I hope its to your liking now its been changed. I am not a coder, I merely googled scripts, used them scripts and made it work the way I hoped for. Note that upon 1st time installation it will ask you to allow installation. I assure you nothing is hidden, I just used .bat to .exe converter. Sorry for all the EYES!

PLEASE BE AWARE THE ORIGINAL BUGS ARE PRESENT AS I ONLY WANTED TO MAKE IT EASIER TO INSTALL AND WORK WITH. NO OTHER CODE HAS BEEN TOUCHED BUT IT HAS BEEN MADE MORE USEFUL *I FEEL IT HAS AT LEAST.

HAVE FUN...

ADMIN RIGHTS

I got your script working in Photoshop, at 1st it gave me unable to save error but I took owners rights to the program folder where it's temporarily scored. I would look into using a temp folder inside the temp users folder where all the other temp files are stored. You might have more luck, but once it worked it does well.

Cheers.

PSD to 3Ds Max 2018 & PS CC 2018

NOT WORKING here !
Installation:
01 - rename "RUN_ME_FROM_3DSMAX" to something more friendly like "PSD23Dmax"
02 - put this file into your Max/scripts folder
03 - from the "Scripts" folder, copy "PSD_TO_3DS.jsx" to your PS/presets/Scripts folder
04 - from the "Scripts" folder, copy "VK3D.atn" to your PS/presets/Actions folder
05 - Run 3dsmax as Admin
06 - Run Adobe Photoshop
07 - Open 3dsmax -> Menu "MaxScript" -> "Run Script" -> Run "RUN_ME_FROM_3DSMAX.ms"

I/O error because of script paths. NOT WORKING, even with absolute paths!

Problem areas in the script:

	try (	--install Xylonite Tools-CURVES_to_3DS.mcr
		fileIn (sysInfo.currentdir + "\\Scripts\\Xylonite Tools-PSD_to_3DS.mcr")

	try (	--install Xylonite Tools-CURVES_to_3DS_Lathe.mcr
		fileIn (sysInfo.currentdir + "\\Scripts\\Xylonite Tools-PSD_to_3DS_Apply_to_Selection.mcr")

really cool script

really impressed me, the readme file says use f3 in PS and some other stuff but you made clear instructions here

- the first thing is that the installation works flawlessly you did everything user friendly - just wow.. now to see if I am going to actually use it in projects.. but I can see you can make really fast billboards or say leaves and stuff like that - logos obviously..

.. I thought I was gonna have to assign all of the shortcuts and copy files in their directories but you did it all for us lazy users :) (and nobody got time to do that)
- works on max 2014 and Photoshop CS5

Thanks!

Surely all things are possible! =)
I`ll add option with units measurement later.

And about the pivot, i think it is more usable in the center of object.
What for you need it on the base?

Love your Script, thanks!!

Love your Script, thanks!! Saves quite some time :)

Would it be possible to make the textured plane in Max the same size as in PhotoShop units ?
Would it also be possible to set the Pivot to the base of the plane ?

Thanks again :)
