Questions

Looks like Dm is for visualization. Is it possible to get/ extract 2D illustrator files for actual printing and cutting boxes? (Illustrator has an Esko Studio plugin)https://www.esko.com/en/products/studio/modules/studio-essentialsSomething that would work same way in Dimension?

Hi,I was hoping to use Adobe Dimension to add lighting and textures to my sketch up model but I am having a little trouble importing my model. Dimension seems to import the file but when I try to navigate the space I keep getting an error measage and the programme freezes. I have tried saving/importing the model in different formats with no luck.(I am running sketch up pro 2018)Any clues as to why this keeps happening could it be that my model is too complex?Thank you 

Thre are some cracks when I render the object with an image map on.It works fine if I apply a single material / color.I tried to change the camera angle, lighting still couldn't fix it.Are there anyone that can give me some suggestions? Thank you very much! 

I am having a very poor quality resolution and bluriness in my final rendor (attached). I have tried increasing total canvas size and increasing the pixels per inch to 3000, but there is no change to the final product. Also, the background image that I imported appears to have gone down in quality as well. The image looks great by itself and is about 5000x4000 pixels, but when I import it to Dimension, the quality is greatly reduced. 

I like that the background is a seperate layer but i really need the objects on seperate layers with the ability to turn shadows on and off. I can make object layers from the selection masks however i cant seperate the shadows without just re-making them. Is there a way to so this???Thanks.Tom.

I want to just go back to the tiny render preview window in the upper right, not have the preview over the entire canvas when in render preview mode. How do I "Toggle Fullscreen Render"  Im on mac.  

1. System Info2. My view in Dimension3. The files I'm working with4. What the model looks like if I use a different program.I dont know what I'm not doing, but render preview doesnt change my view.  I have no clue how to apply the texture map files to the model, but I notice when I click somewhere in the model, different materials become highlighted in the materials panel on the right side of Dimension.  That tells me the materials are there in some way... but I dont know what's going on.Anybody able to help me work with this file in Dimension?  Is this possible or do i have to go outside of CC to do anything with this model?

It doesn’t appear that environment lighting is supported glTF exports. Perhaps I’m doing it wrong? Steps to reproduce Create a new design in Dimension 3.3.Add a capsule to the scene.Apply a silver material.Go to Scene panel > Environment > Environment Light.Confirm there’s a light or apply a custom HDR image.File > Export > Scene.Select glTF.Export. Expected According to the EXT_lights_image_based glTF extension spec, Adobe Dimension currently supports glTF exports with this extension. Saw Previewing the glTF in Babylon, I don’t see the asset rendered with the expected environment light. Inspecting the glTF JSON, I see no such extension declaration.

I was designing something all day, it was my first day trying dimension and it took all day. When i finally was rendering everything froze and i tried to unfreez the pc but nothing worked. So after i had to restart my pc. When i went to see my design was completely lost and nothing was synced. I chatted with an adobe representative and was not helpful at all or gave me any help as to what to do in order this to never happen again. If anyone had any similar issue or there is a magical way to get my hard work back please let me know. Thank you 

i'ts been really hard for me everytime i want to collab my new model from the one i saved on my libraries, it always turn the decals oversized. then i fix it once by one, again and again. 

For whatever reason, I'm never able to install and open this program. I have many 3D programs on my Mac, as well as many Adobe products. I have no explaination as to what the issue may be, as the program never crashes, it just does nothing.

Hi, I'm using Adobe Dimensions 2020 v3.3.0 & facing two problems in it. 1. GPU Render option suddenly disappeared from preferences. It was working like charm but now it's using CPU for render & taking lot of time for final output.Solutions tried: Reinstall old/new GPU drivers & Dimensions. Nothing worked. 2. I want to place Decal on jar where it'll be covering around 95% of it's surface (circumference, no fill). Whenever I try to do that after some size (say 50%), decal gets distorted weirdly. This is happening only with Jar or cylinder shape.Solutions tried: I created jars using other 3D softwares and imported obj in dimensions. Generated UVs for every jar imported. Changed surfaces, sizes, etc. Nothing worked.  

Just installed Dimentions, looking for an alternative to Fusion 360 and Blender, which both work well on my Dell. Program starts up and I see all the menues on both sides of the screens, but the center scene is blanks, does not show the 3D hash mark floor, and when I drag an object on to the screen, it is not showen, but it's listed on the right in the menue.What am I doing wrong. I have but one graphics card installed, the Inyel(R) HD Graphics 630 that came with the Dell. Is this the problem?Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Do not have "focus" on. The mockup looks sharp in Dimension, but once rendered, it looks very fussy. Screenshots attached

Hi there! Bloody new to Dimension, I have to create a 3d-scene full of different types and sizes of bolts and nuts. Purchasing for instance this bolt model, will I be able to modify it in order to get me dozens of additional other bold types? Thanx a lot! https://stock.adobe.com/de/3d-assets/bolt/238616097?prev_url=detail

Do I need a bigger graphics card? More virtual memory?This was working fine before.Thanks !

I recently updated my software. I was able to use it for a few try. After adding the glitter texture to a 3D model, it immediately started producing these kind of pictures. I have tried everything I can, what do you think is the issue?

Does anyone know how I can add silver foil effect to text on a box I have designed?

Whenever I export an object - saved as .dn - and import it into another project, it arrives all disorganized and I have to reassmble all the layers.  Settings are identical and I have tried centred and non-centered inports. I'm pretty new to Dimension.

Has anyone been successfull getting pure white backgrounds while still having a small shadow for products?We've tried multiple differnt custom light setups and  filling these 3 goals has been almost impossible:to get the product colors vibrantsmall tight shadownot have bleeds of grey (errant shadows) to the edges (especially need all edges of image to be pure white)Here's a rough example of what I'm after:  https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/close-up-of-bottle-against-white-background-royalty-free-image/910962778

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
