Missing Materials

It is weird. Does anyone get this stupid dimension to read any materials? No matter if obj., glb., every program recognizes the textures, out of dimension. Even Photoshop has no problems. What is the problem? Any ideas?

What is your main task? Importing obj materials into Dn...as jpg or png format?

I want to render intraoral scans. These are exported natively as ply. I try to convert this into a dimension readable format. GLB would be such a format. This can also be read by Photoshop. Unfortunately Dimension seems to be unable to recognize standard formats including texture. Not even if you save it from Photoshop, Dimension reads the texture.

Please review https://helpx.adobe.com/dimension/user-guide.html/dimension/using/supported-file-types.ug.html

Supported model formats

Import

  • .OBJ
  • .FBX
  • .STL
  • .SKP
  • .GLTF
  • .GLB
  • .USD

Export

  • .DN
  • .OBJ
  • .GLTF
  • .GLB
 

.DN is the native Dimension format and is best for reusing models across Dimension projects to preserve decals and material quality. The other formats are best for exporting to other applications and may have different appearances based on differences in lighting, materials, or rendering configurations for various applications.
