New to Adobe, Where do I start for what I need to do?

Question

I need to make interactive 3D assembly videos, and it seems like Aero would be my best bet, using it's AR capabilities.

I watched a few tutorials on Aero, and did some tinkering in the program, but I can't seem to create the "animations" I want in Aero itself, and I need to use a different Adobe software to create the animations, then import them into Aero?

It also seems that everything revolves around bringing 2D animations and objects into Aero, but I have 3D CAD models of the individual parts that I want to animate to "assemble itself". When I tried doing this in Aero, I couldn't find a way to accurately move individual models where I wanted. For example, having one wooden panel dovetailed into another wooden panel. There was no way to use faces or points to align one part to another.

Are there things I'm missing? Would different Adobe software be better suited for what I'm trying to do?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Hi @williamd55833087 , Thanks for the post. It sounds like for the animations you want to do you would create those in a 3d animation program like Blender and export them in the .gltf format into Aero. Here is a great tutorial on importing animation into Aero https://helpx.adobe.com/aero/how-to/create-animations-in-aero.html?playlist=/services/playlist.helpx/products:SG_ADOBEAERO/learn-path:key-techniques/playlist:topic/set-header:animation/en_us.json&ref=helpx.adobe.com

We have publish a lot of new video tutorials as well that may be useful: https://helpx.adobe.com/aero/tutorials.html

Let me know if this helps and thanks!
