Dive into Adobe Dimension

Introduction to Adobe Dimension

• Used for creating mockups and case studies for presentations

• Combines 3D models, lighting, textures, surfaces, and images

1. Workspace Overview

   • Canvas in the center

   • Tool palettes on the left

   • Properties panel on the right

   • Navigation controls at the top

2. Basic Navigation and Setup

   • Changing canvas size (e.g., for Instagram)

   • Zoom and pan controls

   • Saving the file

3. Asset Library

   • 3D models

   • Adobe standard materials

   • Substance materials

   • Lighting options

   • Images for backgrounds and surfaces

4. Camera Tools

   • Orbit tool

   • Pan tool

   • Dolly tool

5. Building a Composition

   • Adding 3D objects (coffee cup, carry bag)

   • Moving and rotating objects using the widget

   • Adjusting object properties (position, rotation, scale)

6. Adjusting Surfaces

   • Changing colors of objects

   • Customizing individual elements of 3D models

7. Adding Logo to Objects

   • Importing logo from Illustrator (via JPEG export)

   • Dragging and dropping logo onto 3D objects

   • Adjusting logo placement and scale

8. Rendering

   • Using render preview for quick checks

   • Adding background image

   • Using "Match Image" feature to align objects with background

9. Exporting

   • Rendering options (local vs. cloud)

   • Exporting as PSD file

   • Reviewing exported file in Photoshop

10. Final Thoughts

    • Versatility of output (separate layers for objects, shadows, background)

    • Potential for further editing in Photoshop

The video demonstrates how Adobe Dimension can be used to create professional-looking mockups for presenting logo designs or other branding elements in a realistic 3D environment.
