Add depth to decals
Depth slider for decals as seen in Keyshot
5 votesWe plan on adding a depth slider for decals to give embossing and debossing effects in the future. I don’t have a specific timeline for that yet, but it’s on our roadmap!

Custom Light Objects
Lighting in Project Felix is currently handled through the Environment and Sunlight objects. Custom light objects would allow studio setups, with area lights that can be positioned, sized, rotated, colored, and set at varying intensities.
110 votesHello everyone! Jeanette from the Dimension team here. Excited to say that lighting is a topic that’s up next for us and as someone who has expressed interest in more lighting controls, we’re sending you a survey!
You can take the survey here:
https://goo.gl/forms/OqjdQIkLYG1MMaN62Lighting is such an exciting topic because it’s critical for both photorealism and unlocks such potential for creativity. Deep appreciation to all who can find the time to take the survey. It should take about 10-15 minutes and will help kickstart some research we’re running.

Support for PSD layer mask
Hello, i'm trying to place a psd file with a layer mask into Dimension to create realistic shadow effects for this cut out image/object. When i place the psd on a plane (as image carrier) in Dimension, the alpha channel, i.e. the black part of the mask, is not transparent but rendered in a grey color, thus the whole plane casts a shadow, not just the mask. This functionality appears to be essential and easy to implement ?
2 votesWe plan on unifying the way transparent images are handled later this year. Right now it can be pretty confusing and we don’t always respect transparency correctly.

Option for tiling decals seamlessly across surface
Option for tiling decals on surface when adding seamless patterns or textures as a decal
1 voteWe are planning on allowing graphic layers to be set to a fill mode which will tile it across the surface.

Option for tiling decals on surfacewhen adding seamless patterns or textures as a decal.
1 voteWe plan to add a ‘fill’ option for decals which allow them to fill the material they’re applied to. You can then tile and scale them.

Update shared 3D scene without changing its link
When I first share a model using the new Publish 3D Scene, I get a link I can send to my clients, that's great. If I later alter the models/cameras/decals/etc and publish it again, the original scene file in Creative Cloud is updated, that also great because it means there won't be dozens of duplicates for every alteration I make.
What's not so great is that every time I do publish I'm given a new link, meaning I always need to send my clients a new link for every revision. I'd like to be able to update the published scene…
2 votesUpdating existing links is part of the planned behaviour for published 3D scenes. It didn’t make it into the initial beta, but you can expect this in the future! I’ll update when we begin work on this.

Decals in UV Space
How do you get decals to use UV coordinates?
2 votesDecals currently use a smart projection method and don’t use the original UVs. We plan to add a ‘UV’ option so that you can add layered graphics in UV space.
-
import or merge existing .dn scenes
Add the ability to import existing .dn-Files.
Had to do single product shots and after that I wanted to merge
them in an overview of the shots. No chance - Had to bild it up
from the start.16 votes -
Remember save location
remember folder saved to
4 votesWe plan to remember opening, loading, and saving folders in the near future. I’ll update here when we’ve started on this!
-
Save Custom Materials
After editing a material or adding textures to create my own it would be great to save the material for reuse in other projects.
47 votesHello! The Dimension team is gathering some feedback around various export requests. If you’re interested in providing more detail on your request for exporting workflows, please take a moment to fill out the following brief survey:

Docy infomatics
When you create a new document have it open up a dialog box with project settings, like every other adobe program.
2 votesHi, thank you for the suggestion. We appreciate your feedback and are planning to implement document settings when creating a new Dn document. You can find this currently on the prerelease forum :
https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/6D4BC437-A571-40B6-B398-1D29A4A13985Or, if all goes well, in a release soon! Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Link image files and update saved changes
Being able to link my image files so when I save the changes in Photoshop/Illustrator, etc, it is updated in Dimension.

Glow effect, Light radiance
perhaps when rendering glowing objects, (at a high setting) if there could be some light effects shinning off the surface of the glow? currently it just renders a start white edge and casts light over near by surfaces. it would look nicer if the object look closer to light, not just a solid color.
8 votesMaking the “Glow” option for materials actually emit light and bloom is a planned enhancement! Not sure when exactly we’ll get in, but we’ll let you know when we start on that.
-
Directly input dimensions of an object
I have a book cover that is 6x9x.75. It would be ideal to have the ability to input dimensions rather than scale.
The ability to select units would be great, but to begin simply making it proportional would make it functional.
90 votesHello all. Units and dimensions are something that are very important, and we’re looking at getting some initial feedback on this topic. We have a brief survey and are also looking for a few people willing to do an interview. In exchange we’ll provide an Amazon gift card to the interviewees. If you’re interested please start by taking the following survey and we’ll notify those who are selected for the interview portion.

Separate Photoshop Shadow Layer
When rendering to a layered Photoshop file, it would be extremely helpful to have the Object on one layer and the Cast Shadow on a separate layer. This will allow a designer the ability to manipulate shading and integrate it better into the picture. I have worked in 3D for many years (multiple programs) and this separate layered technique is one of the most used by artists and extremely powerful.
61 votesHi everyone. I wanted to let you know we do plan to add more layers to the .psd output including shadow/light passes, reflection and some other helpful bits. I’ll keep you updated as we get closer on this one.
-
Render Pause Button
I could see it being beneficial to have a pause button on the rendering process.
7 votesThanks for the suggestion! We did in fact, used to have a pause button. But it broke so we had to kill it for a bit. :( It will return when we fix the pause mechanism!
-
Auto-Save
Crashes Then Corrupts Original File - We NEED AUTO Backups!!
If we had automatic backups, my 5 hours of work would not be lost. Felix IS the next major player in the 3D modeling market so this is a MUST HAVE safety feature.
10 votesHello! Definitely a great suggestion and something the team is considering heavily right now. It didn’t make our first few beta releases, but it’s on our roadmap for sure. I’ll let you know when we’re closer. :)
