Live 3D 1.5 Brings Web 3D and 3D PDFs to Photoshop
With the introduction of Strata Live 3D[in], the Photoshop world got the perfect marriage of ease of use and focused functionality. Photoshop CS3 Extended had added the ability to display and manipulate 3D objects. In and of itself, that ability is of limited utility.
Strata Live 3D now includes all of the Strata Live 3D[in] functionality. Now you are able to create real-time interactive 3D content for web sites and PDF documents from Photoshop® CS3 Extended. It's perfect for creating quality content for marketing projects, online catalogs, training manuals, design presentations and more. Now your 3D can literally go anywhere!
All the features of Live 3D[in] that you've seen so far are now completely within Strata Live 3D 1.5, with addition of the full application to add scripting and interactive elements.
Take full advantage of an integrated 3D/2D workflow
Live 3D 1.5 integrates with Photoshop CS3 in a number of key ways.

Export 3D Web Pages From Photoshop CS3 Extended
Chances are you produce your website layouts and mockups in Photoshop. Instead of matching 3D elements to your pages later, just push and pull your 3D objects inside your Photoshop layout and export a working real-time 3D web page, ready to post, directly from Photoshop!
Stop knocking yourself out by producing frame-by-frame photographic or Flash turntable animations. Post real, fluid 3D objects on the internet with no plug-in requirements.
