You can use the Photoshop painting and adjustment tools to edit the textures contained in a 3D file, or to create new
textures. Textures are imported as 2D files with the 3D model. They appear as entries in the Layers panel, nested under
the 3D layer, and grouped by map type: Diffuse, Bump, Glossiness, and so on.
To view a thumbnail of a particular texture file, hover the mouse pointer over the name of the texture in the Layers
panel. The image size and color mode are also displayed.
