Importing content to Paradise Sandbox is as easy as drag and drop your model(s) to Paradise Sandbox. Also you can click on File->Import->3D models and select your model.
Paradise Sandbox FREE only imports Collada (.dae) files. Paradise Sandbox PRO imports from more than 45 file formats: 3d, 3ds, ac, ac3d, acc, ase, ask, b3d, blend, bvh, cob, csm, dae, dxf, enff, fbx, hmp, ifc, ifczip, irr, irrmesh, lwo, lws, lxo, md2, md3, md5mesh, mdc, mdl, mot, ms3d, ndo, nff, obj, off, pk3, ply, prj, q3o, q3s, raw, scn, smd, stl, ter, uc, vta, x, xgl, zgl.
Paradise Sandbox will automatically detect the different materials/textures used in the object and all will be imported as good as possible: diffuse, normal and specular maps (if them are available). Objects with color-based materials will be also correctly imported.
Now you’ll see the import dialog: select the imported object size (in meters) and click on import!
Now your asset is imported and ready to be used!
In Paradise Sandbox all updates are done on-the-fly, even if you’re looking at the object in the viewport - it’ll be instantly updated. The same for any texture change, all is reload on the fly.
