Question

ADOBE's own 3D program Like Maya or 3D max, blender?

Hey Hello frineds,

                                I am curious about one question which often comes in my mind, so I though why not put it on to the forum. its simple

                     WHY ADOBE IS NOT DEVELOPING / INTRODUCING A SOFTWARE LIKE 3D MAYA, 3D MAX, BLENDER, CINEMA 4D?

the question comes in my mind because I found the Adobe Photoshop 3D features very creative and productive, and even Adobe illustrator is also giving an artist a great freedom and in Illustrator CS5 the 3D area is more improved than ever.  It will be great if one can make 3D model out of that, and get it into the AE for futher compositing, as I was just watching some node based compositing video on youtube, I learnt that one can directly import a 3D model in that software, so it will be great if one can able to import a complete 3D model as a layer in After Effects for compositing and improving the animation of said imported 3D model according to the tracked footage,  because after effects allows to work in to real 3D space but as you all know we still need to export a 3D object or model in 2D format i.e. .tif, .tga etc. from any 3D app., then compose it with tracked footage and after that Color Correction to get good results.

WITH IMPROVED CS5 APPLICATIONS IT MAY LOOK EASIER FOR ADOBE TO INTRODUCE 3D SOFTWARE AS ADOBE PS, IL n AE HAVE 3D ENGINES...

It is kind of thought, if a person starts growing up in ADOBE environment (culture) from doing anything right from the scratch to all the way upto rendered output (including coding), then why let that person use another 3D application? In addition to this most of the 3D program are difficult to learn, you must need to invest 2-3 years but what if adobe bring a software which is having a combination of 3D features of PS, IL, AE.

And I'd like to mention another important thing, if one who is having command over photoshop (or A GOOD HAND), he may find other application like AE, IL, PrPro easy if he uses that much help and documentation and LOGIC, and I feel at least 5-10 out of 100 pros possessing such ability... It also happens if a you spent 2-3 years in ADOBE environment, with passion to learn new thing which help to get best creative output directly from your mind to PC.

And as far as commercial things are concerns, I feel Adobe will be at a TOP if they introduce such 3D software....  which may help to increase the popularity of PrPro and even market share of adobe in Film Industry.     

(personally I'd love if Adobe develop such 3D program just like they developed 3D lens that could essentially capture a scene from 19 slightly different angles simultaneously)

I don't know why Adobe is not developing and introducing such 3D software, does anybody know?

Thank you for your valuable time for reading this thread

Any good answer is highly appreciated.....         

sorry if there is any mistake in the above paras, you can correct me if you feel so....

Happy Designing, Crafting n Troubleshooting in ADOBE 🙂

      I can tell this really bothers you, but I doubt you'll get a straight answer to your question above.  Like all other software developers, Adobe keeps such things under wraps.  If they are working on such a thing -- and I have NO clue if they are -- people in on it are under strict non-disclosure agreements.

      You can sum it up like this:  those who tell don't know, and those who know don't tell.

        Development of a new application is a very expensive process and must be a business decision based on the projected market share and profitability. It would surprise me if Adobe has not considered this. It would not surprise me that the current economic climate is not conducive to either the acquisition of an existing product or the development of one from scratch.

        As for me, I'm a big Blender fan. It's fairly straight forward, easily renders multiple passes for compositing, and is feature rich enough for most things that I need to do. I'm also a big fan of C4D but I only have a Windows version and so I have to drag out my old Windows box and fire it up with I want to use it. The integration between C4D and AE is pretty good, only fair in Blender, but either or should I say any 3D app can be integrated with AE projects once you figure out how they handle the camera data.

          Hi Rick sir,

          Development of a new application is a very expensive process and must be a business decision based on the projected market share and profitability. It would surprise me if Adobe has not considered this. It would not surprise me that the current economic climate is not conducive to either the acquisition of an existing product or the development of one from scratch.

          Yes, its true that any new development is expensive, but PrPro is still having small share in FILM INDUSTRY, so development of new 3D software may help Adobe to increase the share because all the 3D modeling and compositing will get a final render in PrPro for Film/ Video or in Flash for Mobile Devies.

          There is no need for acquiring any existing 3D app.. Adobe don't need to develop a software from very scratch, as Adobe's PS, AE, IL are having very powerful 3D features, so they just need to combined the said 3D engines of softwares to get a good 3D software.

          any 3D app can be suitable for compositing in AE, but the main issue is you need to invest time for learning that 3D software, but what if you can design and animate any object or 3D model with the tool and LOGIC you used in Photoshop or in After Effects or Illustrator 3D?
