What happened to the 3dformat sample code? It's gone from the Photoshop CC 2017 SDK.

The app still supports the plug-in type but the SDK no longer contains the example. You can use a previous SDK if you need the sample code for 3dformat.

Thanks for the reply.

I was surprised it was removed since the code has been around for years.

Is there an official reason why it was removed? Is the code being deprecated for something better?

Also, do you have any suggestions on how to create an export format plugin for 3D data?

There is sample code to import 3D data from the old SDKs, but I can't find anything that exports it.

I had another engineer supporting the 3D examples. He doesn't have the bandwidth so it was decided to drop the examples from the public SDK.

There are no plans to deprecate the 3D API at this time.

The Export modules, unlike file formats for longer term storage, are to give the data to something else. For example, a proprietary monitor or system connected to Photoshop for display of the data. So it all matters who the consumer of the export is.
