I‘m a total beginner so I just wanted to ask, what adobe software should I try out if I wanted to experiment with 3D animation/modeling but more so animation? Should I use adobe fuse or adobe dimensions or something completely different?

Correct answer Abambo

Animate is the old Flash and that is 2D animation.

I would look into Dimension and After Effects. After Effects comes with a Cinema 4D lite.

For more extended work however, you will need a full blown 3D modeling/animation package, like Maya, 3D Design, Cinema 4D or Blender. :-)

Fuse has been discontinued.

I'm unsure of the current status on Dimension. I thought it was replaced by Adobe's 3D modeling suite called Substance 3D.

After completion, you can import your Substance assets into other tools like Cinema4D, Blender, etc...

2D Animation Puppets (cartoons) can be created in Adobe Illustrator & imported into Character Animator, Animate or After Effects (motion graphics) app.

Adobe offers a few options for 3D animation, depending on your needs:

Adobe After Effects – Primarily a motion graphics and compositing tool, but with third-party plugins like Element 3D (by Video Copilot) or Cinema 4D Lite (bundled with After Effects), you can create and animate 3D objects. More info: https://adobe.ly/3XqZM8K
Adobe Substance 3D Stager – Best for rendering and scene composition. You can position and animate objects in a 3D space but with limited animation capabilities. More info: https://adobe.ly/3XoI4Tp
Adobe Substance 3D Modeler – Useful for sculpting 3D models, but it's not designed for animation. More info: https://adobe.ly/3XoI4Tp
Adobe Animate – Focused on 2D animation, but it supports basic 3D transformation and rigging. More info: https://adobe.ly/4kncS0w

Let me know if you have any questions.
