Dimension

I'm trying to solve why the sun (or any directional light) is only casting shadows sideways, regardless of the height setting. All other properties appear to be working. I've turned off other light sources and reinstalled Dimension with no luck.

In the latest (October 2018) release of Adobe Dimension, there are a number of useful materials missing (for example, Black Plastic) that were included in the previous release. Now I see that if I want to use those materials, I have to pay for them in the Adobe Stock area. To me, that feels like a bait and switch.I have been pushing my company supervisors hard to adopt Dimension as our rendering tool, based on the features that were present before the October update. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that anything there would remain and you would ADD new features/function but not eliminate any.Please respond and let me know why those materials were moved from "default/included" to "you have to pay for them". Your response will determine if I continue to pursue Dimension as the rendering tool or look for something else.Thanks.

Hi all, I hope you can help with something that I've been wrecking my brains for a while. 🙂I need to export Camera and objects to Cinema 4D from Dimension and at the minute the only export format we have is OBJ. Which as far as I know does not take the camera information with the file. (Please tell me if I'm wrong).So I found a workaround where we place a specific "camera" cube that matches the position and rotation of the scene camera.The position works perfectly fine, but there is no way of matching the rotation. So, how does Dimension calculates the rotation of the camera in 3D space and how can we copy those values accurately into an object, please? This would be great to know and perhaps help other users. Thank you in advance! Andre

Can anyone help me to find solution? When i am placing graphic on my own model, it is displaying as so many repeated images. i am attaching a snapshot. 

Have you ever successfully tried to make a decal applied to transparent object but keep the decal opaque? For achieving such an effect you have to use translucence in Adobe Dimension 2020.     https://youtu.be/7PybE_xabSE 

Anyone facing the same problem as me? my image was clear before i place into decal, but after i placed it, the image became so worst.....any solution to fix this problem? or any tutorial can guide me to export high resolution Jpeg?

Dimension is no longer opens up any of my models, just opens up the UI around it. All my programmes are up to date, I've logged out of CC, restarted my laptop. Nothing is working, this is an issue for all .dn files. They were working just a few weeks ago and now I've come back to them, nothing. I am using Windows 10  

Hi. I am trying to place a graphic to a component of an .OBJ model. The .PNG seems to import without any issue, but is not visible on the component. I've run into this with a few components of this model. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix it? I also run into this issue when applying stock substance materials with any sort of pattern (e.g. wood grains) - the pattern is not visible no matter what I change properties to. Details:The model is an .OBJ of an iPhone 11 Pro + case which I got from CGTRader. I've been able to apply properties to all the components of the model without issue and have successfully added .PNGs to the phone screen. But when I try to do things like add a decal to the case, or in my latest project, add a graphic to the camera flash, it is not visible. Here are a few screenshots: Applying a .PNG to the case:It looks like the graphic was applied, but its scale is completely wrong. No matter what I change the 'repeat' settings to or adjust the orientatio

Hi Everyone,I'm a bag designer and new to Dimension.  I normally create my designs in Illustrator, but would love some advice as the best 3d model software to use to export into Dimension. Can anyone suggest some options? Many thanks!Chris

I have created a glass cosmetic jar via illustrator and photoshop, but when I go to apply the decal it always starts distorting when I try to scale the decal bigger. I have tried generatting UVs and recreating the model and adjusting the extrusion depth but it still distorting.The only way I have got around this is to split the label decal in to 3 parts.

How do I keep an opaque decal on a transparent bottle?When I make the bottle transparent, the decal fades out as well.

I'm trying to make a transparent wrapper in Dimension so you can see the contents within. The wrapper has a Decal applied so I can't use the transparency setting. A search tells me to use the translucency setting.In the Design window playing with this parameter gives me the look I want is rather crudely rendered. However when I do a proper render the wrapper just ends up white opaque. What am I doing wrong and while I am at it can someone give me some decent settings for a crear plastic wrapper with relections on it? I'm using Dimension 1.1.1 which is the highest version my Mac supports. Thanks! 

Why is the image blurry when the quality is set to high from dimension？

Hi!! Not sure why my model turned black when i exported it to aero from dimension . The published model is perfectly rendered by dimension u can check it here . https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:ac8950de-a0e6-410a-8340-4d2abc572ff9?view=dimension Also not quite sure why inside dimension, my model turns from  first image to the second if i hit generate UV  Desired result After hitting generate uv      

Where is the horizon tool? I'm referring to this one. My tool bar does not look like this: This is what my toolbar looks like:

Hello, I've created several beautiful renders of products successfully in Dimension, but have hit a roadblock with one particular model.   This file is an OBJ, approx. 4.3Gb in size.  It's a product designed in Autodesk Inventor, shrinkwrapped and exported to OBJ.  During export we used the medium resolution preset for the OBJ.   The resulting OBJ file is huge, but Adobe Dimension will import it.  I get the file importing progress bar, and when finished, it appears that the OBJ imported successfully.  It shows up in the Scene panel as expected, but the model never shows in the preview window.  If I select the model in the Scene panel and try to move it or perform any other transformation the software grinds to a halt.  We've tried working with this on a few different machines, including a standalone tower built specifically for rendering.  Computer horsepower shouldn't be the problem, but again - I recognize the

I can't get dimension to let me apply a graphic to the entire model at once.I can place the image on the model in different sections but how do I get it to apply to all the sections at once?As I drage the image on the model it jumps from section to section.There is only one material on the model andI've tried Generate UVs - but that didn't help

Hi guys, I've extruded a simple 3D text in C4D and exported it as OBJ file. But once I imported the OBJ file into Dimension I get this crazy result. The set up from c4d is just a simple 5 cm extrude. I've tried it a few times, it looks ok in c4d but once it is imported into dimension this crazy result happen. I'm still new to adobe Dimension and c4d. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you guys.

this question has been coming up a lot so here is an example of what they are and why you would use them the Dn file tools; Adobe Fuse Adobe Photoshop Adobe Dimension

How can I map a graphic to a form leaving only the graphic and no texture on the form?

Hi everyone, I´d like to know if there´s a simple way to make imported files less complex. Here´s the problem: I am using the ESKO Studio Plugin for Adobe Illustrator to export "folded" objekts like displays made of cardboard as an .U3D file to open these in Photoshop. Then I export my 3D layer as an .OBJ File in order to open/import this file in Adobe Dimension. The pitty is, that already my 3D layer in PS has so many seperate texture files included, that the final work in Dimension gets really slow, especially when I duplicate these objects. I often have to save my work in order not to crash the application and sometimes, when I try to re-open saved files, I get an error message that something went wrong and dimension wont work properly. Even after restarts of the app and the system some of the .dn files can´t be opened again. Using DN 3.3 on mac high sierra/mojave. Any tips to "flatten/merge" all these textures already in PS to make this process less complex? I already try to g

HI!  Anyone has tips? I am trying to decrease a file size🙏🙏 

I have designed a label and put it on the 3d model, but the text and image become bulurry, i tried to render it with high resolution, but the result aren’t so good. the image file was in png, and the file itself was pretty good.

Is Adobe going to allow AMD GPU cards work with Dimension? I'm running a 2017 MBP with a Razor Core X and AMD RX Vega 64.  Thanks for your help. 

HI! wondering if there is anywhere inside dimension that indicates the number of tris for a model?
