Adobe Dimension Experiment

Adobe Dimension CC (formerly Project Felix) makes it easy for graphic designers to create high-quality, photorealistic 3D images. Composite 2D and 3D assets to build product shots, scene visualizations, and abstract art.

Fortunately, experimenting with Adobe Dimension has been relatively straight forward, as Adobe offer a tutorial you can follow, to grasp what the program is like, and how you can manoeuvre around it. Below are some screen shots of me following the first tutorial:

One issue I discovered while using this program is that my computer processor is not big enough, therefore the program was struggling to run, thus resulting in a poor quality of image and slow rendering. One way of resolving this would be to find a computer in the University that would have a processor big enough to run the programme at ease.

Positives about this program include if someone has no experience about 3D, thats ok, as the program does most of the work for you, such as perspective and environment lighting. Moreover, with it being an Adobe product, you are able to export files straight across from other programs such as Photoshop and Stock to create life-like environments.

Negatives about this program include that fact you have to purchase any models or environments from stock; you cannot import 3D models for other softwares such as blender. Another negative includes that fact that you have a limited selection of materials and objects, and if you wanted anymore, again you’d have to buy them.

To continue experimenting with Adobe Dimensions, I decided to see if I could make a digital screen in an environment; below are screenshots of the process:

As you can see, you can produce some incredible things in Adobe Dimension in a short amount of time. However, you are limited to what you can create without spending vast amounts of money on models and environments.

To conclude, I will not be using Adobe Dimension in the marketing of my collection of products as it is unable to offer me features I need such as importing my own models in. Therefore, I will look at an alternative, such as doing everything in blender.
