Creating 3D Photoshop Brushes with 3DVIA

One new feature in Photoshop CS3 and CS4 is the support for 3D objects and the ability to rotate and scale them in 3D.  One use for this, which I have to admit I hadn’t considered before, is using it with 3D model libraries (like 3DVIA) to create true 3D brushes you can easily replicate through scenes.

I wanted to create a large number of new Photoshop brushes but finding the right image and having to cut, crop, and crunch the pictures became painful and boring. Thinking a bit outside the box led me to a whole new dimension in brush making. Why not use 3D models to quickly create Photoshop brushes ?!?!
