Protoshot 3D

Create and customize real 3D mockup scenes directly in Photoshop

Looking for a true 3D Mockup Photoshop Plugin? Meet Protoshot 3D. Unlike static mockups that lock you into one angle, this tool lets you work with fully interactive 3D models directly on your canvas.

Protoshot 3D is a simple yet powerful solution for graphic designers, marketers, and product creators. Rotate, scale, and position objects freely without limitations. Apply your designs to a growing library of models—including devices, packaging, and apparel—and create highly realistic visualizations in seconds.

Why use this 3D Mockup Photoshop Plugin?

Most designers are stuck with flat PNG mockups. If the angle isn’t right, you have to find a new file. Protoshot 3D changes that.

With built-in lighting and shadow controls, you can fine-tune the appearance of your scene using presets like Studio, Daylight, Loft, Sunrise, and Night. When you’re done, render your scene as a new Photoshop document or insert it as a transparent Smart Object in your active project—in stunning 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition).
