Hello(:
I have a question for you, maybe someone has already had experience with it and can help me further😊 I'm currently working on 3D and parallel perspective packshots (I use PSD for this, here I can't - because of my limited knowledge of PSD - show off curves or the material of the boxes.. I'm creating frames and filling them with images). The program I use for the 3D packshots is the Plugin for Illustrator Studio Toolkit from Esko.
I was wondering if it is possible to built a box in the parallel perspective with separate parts in illustrator and send the obj files to Studio Toolkit.
Obj files can be opened in the Studio Toolkit, but not the ones that are saved by Illustrator.
Does anyone know where the problem could be?
I hope it's not too confusing or illogical🙈
all the best:sparkles:

Are you using the 3D & Materials effect in Illustrator to create your boxes? And then export them as OBJ?
There are no options for that or anything. So it either works or it doesn't. But if it doesn't work, then you need to investigate the other app.

hello monika(:
thank you for your quick answer and your time!
we use the 3d models and the material settings from studio toolkit where the box is built using the cut & crease lines from the illustrator file and the ard file (3d model) is linked to the illustrator file.
we also had 3D models made, these are obj files that can be loaded into the studio toolkit and saved as an ard file.
hm.. that's why I thought I could build a box with seperate parts in Illustrator as an obj file (or something else, like a boxhandle) and then load it into the studio toolkit to save it as a ard file and create a parallel perspective with the seperate parts - and.. hm well.. jup.. that's illogical and impossible in this program because of the false perspective haha
i just started working with packshots and i'm not very familiar with all possibilities yet and the parallel perspective is tricky to create for me.. because i want it to look as realistic as possible(:

In Illustrator you cannot combine multiple 3D parts.
But you could do that in Adobe Dimension. And then export a model from it: https://helpx.adobe.com/dimension/using/supported-file-types.html

yeah thats right, i know/:
do you know if it is possible to create / present / simulate a parallel perspective in adobe dimension? because i think it's also only for 3d perspectives like studio.
all the best,

In 3D apps you work with models that are built to the dimensions you need.
I don't think that it has an isometric camera. But even if it had: if you want to use ESKO for rendering, then it's only relevant which cameras ESKO has, because the OBJ is just the model.

yeah, we are using studio and the 3d camera settings for other packaging models.
we would need the parallel perspektive for boxes and now i'm trying to find a way to create them in a good looking way 🤞 - otherwise i need to get better in photoshop(:
