Suggestion on feature to add: Sticker Mode

[Akmal Hakim5C7C]

Hey guys, I would like to thank the team behind Adobe Dimension. 

As someone who is busy day to day job (I work in UI/UX and I mostly use Adobe Dimension at night time for packaging freelance works), I find it difficult to do a lot of processes in terms of texture mapping and rendering as other software does. I stopped using a render engine (like Vray) since Adobe Dimension does everything in whatever I need for the packaging process. Kudos to Dimension team!

So as I have already done more than 50 packaging works and I realize that it would be super great if we can add sticker mode for the packaging process. Let me explain.

When I am doing label design, as everyone does, we will drag the artwork directly on the surface of the box/packaging. However I wish that we could have a height map or default sticker mode so that the sticker we apply will at least has some depth on the surface.

Let me know if this is possible!

There are only minor updates for Dimension for now as the main new features has been added into Stager. For now the only option is to add image as Base Material and customise the normal map (you can use the same image as normal map in Dimension). 

But idea would be very useful.

You could add a very shallow depth plane and place it on top of the object? (Of course it doesn't work if it's a rounded plane, instead of a flat surface)
For example, assuming you're creating the label in illustrator, you could use the 3D feature to create an .obj of said label, to be neatly "glued" to the surface in question.(you could also create a blank countour and apply the decal at the Dimension stage). It's made easier with the snapping...

That's the kind of thing you could do, in app, with Stager (as Ares, rightly mentionned) but not possible in Dimension as is...
