Create an Advertising Scene

Adobe Dimension allows us to add decals to our designs by converting 2D images and applying them to a 3D surface. 

Now that you’re all set up and ready to go, let's review this week’s lecture from your tutor Tom MacIldowie: Video LINK


3D Visualisation Key Terminology

Knowing a little about the world of 3D computer design is going to be very helpful to move on to the next stage of 3D visualization.

With that in mind, here’s an overview of some key terminology that it’s important for you to be familiar with to deepen your understanding of the tools available in Adobe Dimension.

Environment Light & Sunlight

Field of View & Camera Bookmarks

Field of view refers to the observable area within your environment. You can also use the dolly tool to adjust the position of the camera and zoom level to alter your field of view.

Adobe Dimension can also remember different camera positions by creating camera bookmarks. These can be used to quickly snap to different angles to see your product from several different viewpoints.

Now that you’re familiar with some of the more advanced principles of 3D design, let’s review this week’s lecture from your tutor Tom MacIldowie:
