Convert a 3D layer to a Smart Object (Photoshop Extended)

Converting a 3D layer to a Smart Object allows you to retain the 3D information contained in the 3D layer. After converting, you can apply transforms or other adjustments like Smart Filters to the Smart Object. You can reopen the Smart Object layer to edit the original 3D scene. Any transforms or adjustments applied to the Smart Object are then applied to the updated 3D content.

1. Select the 3D layer in the Layers panel.

2. From the Layers panel option menu, choose Convert to Smart Object.

3. (Optional) To reedit the 3D content, double-click the Smart Object layer in the Layers panel.
