Now Photoshop CC is latest but CS6 is also perfect for 3D. We all know that Photoshop is 2D and raster base platform but the platform gradually turn the face from 2D to 3D.

Guys, those who are already use 3D like Maya, Max or any other kind of 3D platform they know about 3D and what kind of work is done here ? But those are totally new for 3D they can start a good experience with this.

What kind of 3D work possible in Photoshop?

3D work is totally different from 2D especially from dimension point of view. It gives you X, Y, Z axis. 3d can create more realistic the object just because it create 1 more dimension and also create more live more realistic. You can create 3D object with modeling, texturing, and lighting.

What kind of Scope available?

In scope point of view than, you will get as well as 3D scope like – rotate, scale, and move. You can use mesh, material, light properties and all the properties give you full details of each own categories. Environment is the one of the best field is available here to create good background. Another scope is you can import the 3D file into it and also export it .3DS, .DAE and many other. .OBJ is the best extension among all them just because it support maximum 3D platform and Layer option is work for 3D. So no doubt its give you full control of each and individual object.
