The rendering engine has been updated and reworked to the Adobe Mercury Rendering Engine.

Dimension was more general purpose where Stager is specifically part of the new Substance 3D Collection which offers multiple applications for an end-to-end 3D workflow including modeling, texturing, and staging.So what are some of the key differences between Dimension and Stager? Where Dimension was a general purpose application that was intended for those new to 3D to learn, Stager is a dedicated scene staging application that is more powerful for professional 3D artists while retaining it's approachability for those learning 3D. Today we launched a new application - Adobe Substance 3D Stager! Stager is built by the same team that built Dimension with a shared foundation for some technology while also being a bit reimagined. It's been a little while since I've had an announcement for the community, but I'm very happy to be able to break the silence on some exciting news. More recently, Adobe acquired another company, Allegorithmic, which offers a a suite of 3D tools for making 3D look real, assembling digital objects, painting them, applying photos to textures, and designing those textured elements yourself.Īnd much like how Cool Edit Pro became an Adobe app, so too has Allegorithmic’s apps, launched now as Adobe’s Substance 3D suite, which looks set to include a 3D modelling app in the coming months, something that is now in beta to let you model clay with digital hands.Hi everyone! Jeanette here, lead product manager for Dimension. The reason we have Adobe Audition’s sound editing app is because the company bought Cool Edit Pro from Syntrillium almost 20 years ago, something that eventually became Audition.

You get a little bit of 3D control in the video post-processing tool After Effects, you can position 3D elements in Dimension, and you can do a bit of painting to 3D models in Photoshop, rudimentary as it might be, but beyond these apps, Adobe has never really jumped onto the 3D bandwagon.īut it’s beginning to do a little more, thanks in part to acquisitions. Sorta.Įven though the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of apps is fairly extensive, there’s an area it doesn’t really cover, and hasn’t touched upon much at all: 3D. Working with 3D is something Adobe’s tools haven’t really been built for, but it’s now extending its capabilities.
