Sources for Stock Stager Scenes

[G_Ryder]

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

Not Substance stager format but there are several 3D model sites that have Paid and Free Objects that provide soem scene features.  For example, I downloaded a free living room object from one of those sites, Imported it into stager.  Added textures and lights from Substance Stager and my own product model in the scene. Work out well. The camera depth of field was a nice touch too. Also, using an stock image with a similar scenee and look as a light source rather than a background, created some nice subtle reflections that made it a bit more real.

Hi @G_Ryder,

Kind of following Mostbro suggestion, as long as you have an Adobe Substance subscription, you have access to the Substance 3D Assets library with many professional assets available.

There's also the Substance 3D Community, which is a place where artists can create and share 3D assets that you can then download for free.

Obviously, if these two solutions aren't what you need for your projects, you'll find many other website with great 3D libraries.

Best regards,

Adobe has a format called "Stage" that contains a whole set of lights, cameras, and backplates that you can load into Stager just by dropping them into the app. You'll find them on the Substance 3D Assets site. Go to this link and sign in if you aren't already. All of the items you see are called environment stages, and contain a collection of images, lights, cameras and backplates for a specific environment. Here is what the documentation says:

"Environment stages are a package of an environment light and high-resolution background images. Stager will create a camera for each background image. Environment stages provide instant realistic compositing with many view angles."

Environment Stages also get a passing mention in the intoductory videos.

In theory, you should be able to download an Environment Stage and import it directly into Stager. Neither the documentation nor the Stager UI provides any insight into how to do this, however. Although I seem to recall that it has worked in the past, drag-and-drop doesn't currently do anything. There is no import option for a Stage in the UI.

You can, however, load in the individual assets. Environment stages give you high-quality sets of images and camera views for a variety of different scenes, all created by very competent professional photographers working in collaboration with Adobe.
