Using 3D Animations in AR with Adobe Aero

In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to prepare, export, import, and play your 3D animations in an AR scene using Adobe Aero. I’m happy to share a few tips and tricks that will make everything a bit easier. If you have questions, definitely reach out in the comments. Happy making!

Sweet thanks

These videos are really helpful., I look forward to seeing more. I didn't really know much about Aero for AR. I've been looking for a way to get my 3D and 2D digital works made in Blender, 3ds Max etc into my real world installations/art etc. without using something that I need to code etc.

[@DunawaySmith]

Glad to hear they are helpful. It's an exciting time for artists to explore/discover things together.

[@jamesabell9494]

@@DunawaySmith Sure your videos are very clear and helpful. I like the 2d/2.5d drawing/illustration style. I like to get my hand made drawings sometimes to Blender then convert to Grease pencil and animate them a bit, so interested in getting them as AR. I can now see for me a lot of learning and experimental work over Christmas break now, 💡

Hey Im having trouble with reflective materials, I'm not sure what to do but for now it looks quite opaque, also I'm not sure if I can import lights to aero or something like that, in general all my artwork is based on metallic, shiney, translucent materials so I'm having quite a struggle here!

Thank yooou

[@blackretrex]

Hey, me again your fan . I'll really appreciate if you have some time to tech us how to export properly the project to use with our phones or is with the app directly? Thank you very much.

Which blender version are you using?

[@DunawaySmith]

I use Blender 4.02. and 3.6.2.

[@divijagrawal2756]

why is it happening that the material or colour is not getting exported along with fbx

[@DunawaySmith]

There could be a number of things occurring. Adobe Aero doesn't support complex shaders, so if you're using a procedural or node based shader in your 3D app, it won't appear that way in Aero. The best thing to do is use PDR materials and textures. Other than that, I'd go to Adobe's support site to see if other folks are experiencing that issue. community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-aero/ct-p/ct-adobe-aero?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all
