Create 3D objects (.OBJ) using Illustrator & Photoshop for Adobe Dimension product mock-ups

[@ChimpRiot]

This was really impressive in a short amount of time, and helped to make 3D rendering look more simple for someone like me without any experience. Earned a sub - thankyou!

[@ccpipe]

I didn't know one could make 3D extrusions in Photoshop, great stuff!

[@ashleycam3ron]

I'm seeing a lot of similar comments -- If you already know how to use a 3D program, then please skip this video. You'll get a much better quality rendering from a 3D program if you understand the interface, lighting & rendering settings. Adobe Dimension is a simpler interface to use and consistent with its series of Illustrator and Photoshop programs versus having to learn a new 3D interface and shortcuts. This video is for designers who are unfamiliar with 3D software and looking for a tool to mock up scenes and graphic design.

[@msavasacar]

I used to mockup a lot of bottles boxes etc. simply importing works from ai to ps as smart layer and then warping to place is way faster workflow if u dont want to mess 3D programs. But please just use a dedicated 3D software if when u want mess with 3d, its just less painfull and less time consuming. Just give your self a week for learning blender its free and looks complicated but actually pretty easy. You can thank me later.

[@ashleycam3ron]

Thank you! Yes, agree - it's certainly a challenge to keep up with and know what to learn that's going to stay around for awhile. Adobe Dimension has a user-friendly interface but I'm finding limitations with rendering out a clear decal image. It does great with its own material library and the finishes (glass) I've tried. Will keep experimenting and post any revelations :) Thanks for the feedback!

[@just_hansi]

very nice tutotrial but afaik the 3d features are not used anymore in photoshop. Did you change your workflow or work with an older version of ps?

Yes, wasn't please to hear about the Photoshop update. I have been learning to use Blender in the last year.

YES! I'm trying to start learning Blender, too. It took me way too many hours to create a box, even after exporting the template pieces as an SVG from Illustrator. I'm going to keep trying to use it, since there are limitations to Photoshop 3D. Best wishes! I have a newer version of this video in the description.

Thank you so much for your work and taking time to post this. My only gripe is that the audio is so low in comparison to other random youtube videos that after watching this, the next video I watched was blasting through my speakers. Please inbox me or reply. There is a specific thing that you can do to all of your videos that will make your audio pop out. I've been producing audio for 20 years and I can assure you there will be no clipping, no distortion, just clear and loud with your vocals evenly limited. Turning up the volume vs what I'm talking about is two different things btw. Really hope you reply you will love the results. The difference will be night and day!

[@kimvu2044]

This is so cool! Do you have any knowledge on how to create liquid inside the bottle, so that it can also be changed in dimension too?

[@ashleycam3ron]

Thank you! I think the liquid depends on the shape of the container and fill level for how flexible it is to resize. At 16:36 where I created the liquid, if I didn't make the neck shape in the liquid and if it were just a cylinder, you could select the liquid layer in dimension and change the height. At this point I'm not thinking of another way. I'm continuing to learn and explore what's possible. They seem to be working on updates and new functionality, too.

Hello! Yes

[@olfactiveartistry3973]

@@ashleycam3ron Thanks! So, I have made a rectangular graphic(height 43mm, width 190 mm) on Illustrator. It is meant to be a label for a cube shaped bottle in dimensions. I have selected the cube on the objects list in dimensions. Now I have added the graphic from illustrator as a PNG file, onto the cube. I was changing the scale of it so that it wraps around the 4 sides of the cube, not on top or bottom sides. this is where the problem occurs, I am only able to stretch the graphic as far as 2 sides of the cube, not four. I dont know why that might be as I have seen demos of it working fine for everyone. Please let me know if there is any solution, maybe its something to do with size? of cube or graphic or? thank you for you help.

Why don't you use a regular 3D software to do a 3D?

[@DiogoAzambuja]

I was wondering the same thing. Also, there is no reason to use adobe Dimension when we have other software like Substance Painter or even Keyshot

[@Fafmagic]

Because this isn’t 3D in the sense you’re thinking of.... this is a workflow for designers who are familiar with 2D tools to create 3D looking visualisations. Not every designer needs to or wants to learn a 3D modelling application.

[@cucumberworks]

@@Fafmagic But I always feel confused when I see how adobe approaches this. The workflow for photoshop 3D is so different when compared to its base package. I use both 2D design and 3D modeling software and the steps you need to take to learn photoshop 3D might just be as hard as any other, yet stronger in many senses, 3D modeling softwares.

[@FredGunn]

Cucumberworks What’s an alternate 3D software you’d recommend for designers who are not conversant with 3D? I tried Blender but it appears a bit daunting.

[@cucumberworks]

Fred Nagarvala I think blender might just be one of the best options out there. Is has a lot of features and there’s a lot of tutorials you can find online. The learning curve is kinda steep but I think it is definitely worth it if you really need to learn using 3D modeling.

@@naharemet8284 Indeed. I just don't see why people dispend so much time and effort just to criticize someone who is trying to share some knowledge. For free, by the way. This pipeline that she shares is just one option between a lot of others. Probably will be usefull for someone who does not have time to study another software...
