			Have you ever wished that there was a 3D application that was as easy to use as Photoshop and had the precision of Illustrator? Strata 3D CX 5.5 is the answer to your design needs with the ability to link to Photoshop files, import Illustrator art, and create photo-real images and animations. Add a new dimension to your work for illustration, design, web-ready graphics, animation and more. Don't make the mistake of buying a 3D tool that makes you change your design process - Strata 3D CX works like you do. Strata 3D CX 5.0 adds tremendous power while becoming even more user-friendly. Workflow and tools are now more familiar than ever to Adobe customers. More power for modeling, animating - and now scripting - have been added to Strata 3D CX 5.0. In short, this is the most important 3D application release for designers, illustrators and mixed-media artists, ever. Take full advantage of an integrated 3D/2D workflow All the features of Design 3D[in] are now completely within Strata 3D CX 5.5. Strata is bringing the workflow-bending power of the Design 3D[in] back into the fold with additions to Strata 3D CX, their flagship 3D modeling, texturing and rendering application. Take your Photoshop work to the next level with instant access to 3D from Photoshop CS3 and instant transport of assets, renders and more to Photoshop from Strata 3D CX 5.5. Strata 3D CX 5.5 integrates with Photoshop CS3 in a number of key ways: Match scenes from Photoshop to scenes in Strata 3D CX Use the Vanishing Point filter from Photoshop to define the 3D perspective of a photograph. You can then send that 3D plane, fully texture-mapped, into a new 3D scene in Strata 3D CX 5.5, with the full photograph loaded into the background for quick and simple photo perspective matching. Product designers and architectural users will appreciate the ease with which Strata 3D CX 5.5 accomplishes a very commonplace and time-consuming process. Start thinking about the result first Start your design process in Photoshop, by creating the background, copy, and other elements first. Then, choose from thousands of objects on Google's 3d Warehouse, or match the document to a Strata 3D scene, where you can choose from Strata's included library objects or build entirely new objects from scratch with a fully-featured 3D application. Take models from Google, to Photoshop, to Strata 3D CX 5.5 and move real-time models and fully masked and layered photoshop renders between both applications with ease. Virtually combine the saved intermediate files of both Photoshop and Strata 3D CX into one workflow to reduce your daily file management tasks significantly, and start thinking more about how your 2D and 3D design works together. Adds to your Photoshop workflow AND your 3D workflow The increased workflow links between Photoshop and Strata 3D CX can increase your productivity and expand your creative options whether you come from a 2D Photoshop background, or from a 3D background, whether in Strata 3D or not. Strata integrates well with other 3D applications and formats, can export Flash video animation, imports Adobe standard vector formats, such as PDF and AI, exports Vector SWF and AI renders (with the Strata 3D Vector plug-in), as well as internal links to Photoshop for 3D tasks, such as dynamically linked PSD texture maps, and the ability to distribute individual Photoshop layers to different texture channels. With the addition of layered Photoshop renders in version 5 and the transport of fully masked, layered renders directly from CX 5.5 to Photoshop, Strata 3D CX is the most integral 3D solution for Photoshop users.
