Question

How to import Camera with 3D scene to Photoshop

So... I have 3D scene (3dsmax). I have render. The goal is to have this 3d scene in Photoshop but camera must be imported too. I need absolutely the same view as on render. Does anybody know how to import camera or point of view including focal length, basically equal view as in 3dsmax viewport?

Why I need this... Need to get different textures that are distorted correctly like on the object using simple render in Photoshop of only main object without shadows etc. I made mockup from render and will change different textures on main object. But new render is 30-60 minutes each. Not good for ongoing work.

Two and half years later, still same problem remains. Still terrible support for 3d import to Photoshop.
Could import camera using collada though like squirrelundo said, but it is not its exact position, looks like Photoshop could not get precise position to it's decimal numbers which is quite annoying to manually make it precisely positioned as it should.
And sadly, Photoshop could not remember the location of orthographic camera numbers.

Hi

I do not know a way to import a camera.

However :

You could try setting the properties of the "current view" to match - you can enter Focal length, Perspective, Co-ordinates etc in the Properties panel.

Also , if you have a rendered image from 3dsMax - you could put it as a layer underneath your 3D layer in Photoshop and temporarily reduce the opacity of the 3D layer whilst you align and match the views.

Thanks. Looks like task is impossible. Photoshop importing even objects wrong if there are several objects. I noticed that it imports only standard camera but also with wrong position. Terrible 3d in photoshop. Thank you for answer.
