imports the 3D model, but also the default Photoshop camera used to
view the 3D object, and applies a controller layer that is used to control the
3D object.
Before jumping into an exercise that shows you how to work with the 3D

Photoshop 3D option in the Import dialog box, three layers appears on the

The 3D Object layer: This is the main layer, which includes the 3D object.
Although you cannot edit all of the 3D object properties directly from
the 3D object layer, such as scale, transform, and rotate, you can edit
these properties from the 3D control layer.
