Questions

I was wonedring if it was a feature or a bug:When I render a fixed scene, I get an estimate (acknoledging that it's just that: an estimate), but if I render a simple spin of an object/group, I just get the elapsed time in the progress bar. (and no time left or even the blue bar)   not the end of the world but since it's supposed to take a long time, I'd raher know if I can start something else instead of watching the computer running 🙂    

hi guys~ i am trying to build a high-resolution synthesized material dataset to feed my shadow-removal neural architecture. so i wanna know is Stager a suitable tool to realize it? the key points are all about the realism and diversity of shadows in rendering.thx for the reply:D

I am looking at buying a new Mac Studio. Will the M2 Ulra version help with rendering speeds?

Hi all,I have created a 3D model of a wine glass in Illustrator with the circle option and exported it as obj-file.When importing this model to Stager and rendering an image the rim and the base of the wine glass show distortions. It looks like the model consists of too few segments to be displayed smoothly round. However, I can't set any smoothing in Stager. In Illustrator the model look perfect. Can someone please help me?  

Can't find any documentation on how this tool works.

Hi 🙂 I have a question. I am looking for an effect in Stager that combines Transparency, Glowing, and Texture.For example, a transparent Acrylic-Board with a White-Sticker on it and an LED-Light illuminating the Acrylic-Board. The acrylic board is transparent and glows a little.The sticker is white and absorbs LED light well and glows strongly.Is it possible to express this effect with Stager? Thank you in advance.BR Toku

Ever since updating to 2.1.0, my Stager is unable to open large files. It gets stuck "Loading..." indefinitely. And when I open a smaller file, with just a few Object Meshes in it... I cannot render anything. The button for rendering does not become active. I'm stuck and unable to work since this update was installed. I've tried uninstalling, restarting, etc. etc. and nothing I do is working.

Hey all, is there any source for "stock scenes" for Adobe Stager? Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions besides ensuring the correct GPU is selected in the Windows and Nvidia environment.  I have tried the latest studio and gaming drivers with a clean install each time.  I assume its still defaulting to the integrated card, but unsure where else I might alter the settings.  Log file included.

Hallo Leute.Ich habe jetzt echt alles abgesucht und ausprobiert.Wie zum Hack macht man ein Dreieck?Jede zweite Form die man so braucht ist ein Dreieck, Tetraeder oder Prisma. Bitte um Hilfe... Danke im Vorraus

Hello.I started using Stager more and more, mainly as help on still-image retouching, or for creating visuals etc. Learning curve is pretty simple, especially when coming from Dimension. The price is still too high, and I think this should be part of the normal CC offer, as it is an essential tool for retouchers. Anyway – Setting up a visual of a simple little juice bottle, I was mostly happy with the results, especially with the upper part of the bottle. Even a friend working with C4D was impressed with the render.The only real problem is the reflection.It seems that gets generated befor the glass / refraction / shadows on the main object, and therefore looks completely wrong. The reflection should be generated after taking the main object into consideration.Is there anything I am missing? thank you, Stefan.

Hi community,we have lots of 3d assets in CC and I need an idea how to use them. Today all I can do is publish links like:https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:1392c3b7-c769-4e03-a164-dc734f190915?view=dimensionDoes anybody have an idea where to show them (platform)?Thank youHans

So, I guess I'm ne to working in 3D space but can someone pont me in the direction oh an explanation of how size and scale work and obect relate to each other. I have object that are on a diffenernt scale for each access but are still all the 30 x 30 x 30 cubes. Like, can i just turn scale off and work from size? Ive never felt stupider... I cannot figure this out.

I'm reviewing designs with glass elements by exporting them from Stager to usdz format and viewing in AR with an iPad. However the glass elements appear solid, not transparent. Is there a material that would export to usdz with transparency?

Hello, I would like to create an image like that:So I would like to create an image of a sphere with potato material. The lighting and the material should in principle look exactly like the example image, but I would like to have several variations of it, for which it would be enough to rotate the sphere. To achieve that, I installed Adobe Substance 3D Stager and downloaded this potato material.I have simply tried it like that: Unfortunately, the result looks like this: Can anyone help me make it look like the example? I would be super thankful!

Dear Community, I designed a 3d shoe model in painter but I am  unable to export it to the stager. The only option that I can see is the export to photoshop. Also, the only file format I can save the file is .spp which I don't know how to import in the stager. Please help asap i don't wanna lose my project 

I use save as snapshot rather than final renders. The save as PNG is convenient but a screen size file get large, easily 10 mb. So sharing a handful of renders with a client get huge and is beyond emails. In addition I use these snapshots to keep track of how projects evolve. I just checked one of my several jpeg folders, it has 3000 Keyshot jpeg snapshots. Stager would inflate this folder to 30 gb (1.4 gb currently). Is there an option to make a jpeg snapshot? Could we have that for the future?

Every single fbx mesh I try to import to Stager gives me "Unable to Import Model" error. I tried changing up smoothing and applied different export settings, however got no luck. Weirdly enough it did bring one the meshes I tried some time ago. What could be the reason. Literally can't use stager.  

how to delete an imported image as background in Adobe Stager

I have been a user of 3ds Max / Corona / Vray for many years and I would love to transition my workflow away from those products to Stager exclusivly. One of the biggest features keeping me from making the switch is the lack of perspective control in the camera settings. When using Vray & Corona cameras, the user has the abiltity to control the film plane angle and shift independent of the camera lens (just like a real 4x5 camera).  Being able to do this is crucial for product visualization. Please consider implementing this feature at your earliest convenience and then I am all in! Thanks for your time, Jason

As opposed to Photoshop the layer visibility toggle is intensely confusing to me. The eye icon here marks that the layer is INvisible and the absense of the symbol marks that the layer is visible. I have to slow down and think hard when I toggle the layers on and off, what's the point?

Hi there!I'm self-taught with Stager and am flailing (and failing) to properly edit my model's glass material properties, to match whiat its rendered PDF looks like when exported as a GLB for web page viewing. Just everything about my final GLB is a bit "off" and I cannot seem to edit the properties to look as good as the PDF render. (I understand that the lighting reflections will be from different angles, as glTF Viewer doesn't have the exact same light positionings in its online demo environment.) If you're someone that knows Stager well, and can help me to accomplish this... can you send me a message? I'm happy to pay you for your time. I've looked for experts on Reddit, Upwork, Fiverr, etc. and nobody really seems to be proficient in Stager (as opposed to Blender, Maya, etc.) and I have struck out finding help on those websites and others.Thank you!

How do I fix these breaks in my label on this 3D model. Designed the model in autodesk fusion 360. Tried fixing the UV mapping in blender but it still has these lines.  

Is it possible to apply a material to a single face, rather than a whole body? In fusion, I'm able to apply a material to an individual face, resulting in this wonderful Party Rex you see here. Several of the materials (headlights, metal accents, windshield, teeth) are applied to a face over the green powder coat. Is that possible in Stager? The higher quality image is rendered in Fusion. The "more green" version (Screen shot) is in the viewport window in Stager. Unable to add materials to faces. (though somehow, Before applying the green powdercoat, The materials were still applied to the faces.....

Hi there, Can you queue multuple renders in Substance Stager?
