Adobe Aero Desktop for UX
I have been using Aero to create various UI designs and wanted to share some issues I have encountered. An example project can be found here: I am wondering will there be future updates to address issues such as lack of alignment tools, non-adjustable model materials and UI controls. In general I am curious if Aero will work better with other Adobe products such as Figma or Adobe Substance.
Thank you,
Matthew
UI type | Issue | Workaround |
Geometry | Cannot preserve model hierarchy and collapses hierarchy into a single object | Import objects separately and rebuild model hierarchy |
Geometry | Imported geometry does not preserve transformation or size | Manually reposition/resize |
Geometry | No alignment tools or snapping | Manually position and align |
Geometry | GLTF import fails with models without error messages | Import as glb |
Materials | Cannot access or modify a material | Duplicate objects/ materials |
Geometry | Too much compression for obj files | Export as glb |
UI | Cannot toggle on or off UI states | Duplicate geometry and hide/show the associated object |
UI | SVGs are hard to select as they are too thin | Export SVG as 2D images on 3D geometry |
UI | No preview on different devices (phone/computer/tablet) | Keep reexporting and testing. |
UI | No logic for built in UI controls such as toggles, radio buttons, menus. | Need to build logic using triggers to mimic widgets |
UI | Ability to align UI with the screen. | No workaround. Camera alignment tools can’t do this. |
