3D Mesh settings (Photoshop Extended)



Each mesh in the 3D model appears on a separate line in the top section of the 3D panel. Select a mesh to access mesh settings and information in the lower section of the 3D panel.

Information includes the number of materials and textures applied to the mesh, as well as the number of vertices and faces it contains. You can also set mesh display options:

Catch Shadows
In Ray Traced render mode, controls whether the selected mesh displays shadows on its surface from other meshes.

Cast Shadows
In Ray Traced render mode, controls whether the selected mesh casts shadows on other mesh surfaces.
Note: Lights must be set to create shadows.

Invisible
Hides the mesh, but displays any shadows on its surface.

Show or hide a mesh

 Click the eye icon next to a mesh name in the top section of the 3D panel.

Manipulate individual meshes

Use the mesh position tools to move, rotate, or scale a selected mesh without moving the model as a whole. The position tools operate in the same way as the main 3D position tools in the Tools panel. For information on each tool, see Move, rotate, or scale a model with 3D object tools.

  1. Select a mesh in the top section of the 3D panel. The selected mesh is highlighted with a red box in the lower section of the panel.

  2. Select and use a mesh position tool in the lower section of the panel to move the mesh.

To manipulate the entire model while an individual mesh is selected, use the 3D tools in the Tools panel.
