IS COLIMO COMPATIBLE WITH MY WORKFLOW?

Colimo uses 2D images to be independent of the render engine. But you need a special pass with Vray, Mental Ray or Modo so is required to be available on your system (included in 3dsMax, Maya and Softimage). You can also do it via Thea Render and therefore compatible with Sketchup, Blender and Cinema4D.

HOW DO I CREATE MY OWN PROJECTS?

You can see it in the tutorials section: Videos and DEMO. The automatic method is available only in 3DMax by a script included in the package.

CAN I IMPORT 3D DATA (OBJ, 3DS…)

No, Colimo don’t handle 3D data, it works only with 2D buffers.
