Imported 3D models display incorrectly | Photoshop CS4, CS5 ExtendedProducts affected
Issue
When you import Google warehouse files (.kmz) or other Collada files (.dae) into Photoshop Extended, materials look like they haven't been imported with the model. Or, models are incomplete or invisible.
Solutions
Do one of the following:
Solution 1: Install the 3D Invert Opacity.jsx script into your Scripts folder, so it is accessible via the File > Scripts menu in Photoshop.
- Close Photoshop Extended.
- Copy or move the 3D Invert Opacity.jsx file into your Adobe Photoshop [CS4 or CS5]/Presets/Scripts folder.
- Restart Photoshop.
- Open your 3D model in Photoshop.
- Choose File > Scripts > 3D Invert Opacity.
Solution 2: Run the attached script to set opacity appropriately on your file.
- Download 3D_Invert_Opacity.jsx to your desktop or another location on your hard disk and rename it to 3D Invert Opacity.jsx.
- Open Photoshop Extended.
- Open the 3D model in Photoshop.
- Double-click the 3D Invert Opacity.jsx file to run the script on that 3D model.
Additional Information
A number of 3D Collada files (.kmz, .dae) have the Opacity materials setting inverted. For examples, materials that are 100% opaque are imported into Photoshop as 0% opaque (fully transparent),. Likewise, materials that are 80% opaque are imported as 20% opaque, or partially invisible.
This issue occurs when Collada exporters write their transparency modes in a certain way, which Photoshop does not recognize, and therefore cannot correct.
