  • image packages for 3D?

    Posted by Brian Cooney on February 12, 2011 at 5:45 pm

    Does anyone know of a resource to purchase images for a 3-D project? What I mean is, maybe there are packages that offer several perspectives of the same subject? In my case, a chimney cleaning commercial. Client wants to see the house from a distance (back on the lawn) and then have the camera pull in and then up and over the roof to look down at the chimney at a 45 degree angle…

    Kinda stuck here… thanks!

    does anyone know if Apple Motion can import and work with .max, .3ds, .ma, or .obj files? Might be best using 3D psd.. can’t find the answer in literature ..-B

    Only with Cinema4D can you export 3D data, lights, and cameras for use in Motion.

    Motion does not import any 3D geometry. It sounds like your client is looking for someone to do this in C4d, Lightwave, Max or Maya.

    yeah.. the company I contacted “TurboSquid” did say they offer 3D models in .psd format. That might work hey?

    Zaxwerks (ProAnimatorFX) can import .obj and it si a 3d plugin for apple motion and final cut. You can do quite a lot of things with it. However if you are looking for a complex animation than yu are best to use some sort of 3d program, bug learning curve.
