Thanx for the reaction :-)
But it's not what I looking for. I am looking on import of OBJ, 3DS and so
on in Photoshop. Besides that, I don't have Illustrator. And I see now that
I made a mistake. I did mean Photoshop CS3, didn't know that CS3 stands for
Creative Suite 3.
Did some looking around on the Adobe site and the video tutorials ... guess
you have to like that kind of tutorials. For me it's more confusing then
clarifying.
