3D node

Model 3D

Imports your own 3D models — OBJ, PLY, STL, or USD/USDZ — with automatic centering and scale normalization, so anything exported from Blender or elsewhere just drops in and works. (glTF and FBX aren't supported yet.)

What it does

Model 3D is a 3D node: it builds, changes or lights geometry that Render 3D turns into a picture. It takes picture in and gives 3D shape out.

Try it

Import a character model and spin it live using a rotation modulated by an LFO.
