Simultaneously, the 3D capabilities in CS6 received a significant overhaul. While 3D had existed in previous "Extended" versions, CS6 streamlined the workflow, making it easier to extrude text, paint directly on 3D models, and adjust lighting. Although Photoshop would never replace dedicated 3D modeling software like Blender or Cinema 4D, these enhancements made 3D typography and simple modeling accessible to the graphic design community.
