A variety of applications exist today for modeling and creation of 3D data. Applications like Google SketchUp, AutoCAD and Autodesk 3D Studio Max are prominently used in creation and consumption of 3D models in various fields and at various stages. Most people have there favourite application for creation and sharing of 3D models.

With this is mind, we have provided native support for various popular 3D data formats. In 3DPaintBrush, you can directly import your models from Google SketchUp (*.skp), 3DS (*.3ds), AutoCAD (*.dwg, *.dxf), Wavefront (*.obj) as well as STEP & IGES (*.stp, *.step, *.igs, *.iges).

This also helps you to save time as you need not export to a supported format to create images and animation videos in 3DPaintBrush. In my next post I will tell you how you can capture 3D data from virtually any application and use it inside 3DPaintBrush.
