3D is greyed out... I'm on a macbook pro with 8GB RAM, Intel i7 2,99 GHz and a Nvidia GTX 380 video card ... WTF is going wrong!?

@Th0mas123 Go to Photoshop's Preferences, then go to the 3D category, and make sure OpenGL is enabled.

*watches tutorial when it comes out, but cant do 3d because of lack of graphics card and a crappy processor*

[MarkusSJ94]

going to try doing it with my own name but it may take some time since I am not so extremely good in Photoshop. that's why we rehearse.

One quick question abot the 3d text.. Is it possible to smooth them out? Not feather the outlines, but actually smooth the letter itself to not make it so.. "Pointy"

[Th0mas123]

@ChChCheckItsClan Jup it was ;) ... i think you can only apply 3D effects in RGB format and not in CMYK... (?) That's the only thing that worked for me tough :)
