Adobe Dimension: Feature Requests
When entering a new feature request, please provide specific details. Why is this feature valuable to you? Give an example of how you would use it in a workflow.
-
Extrude Vectors as 3D Shapes
Extrusion is a technique where a flat 2D shape or surface is pulled out to give it depth. Vector extrusion would allow users to import vectors as paths, then extrude those paths into 3D shapes. This would include some additional parameters like hard or rounded corners.
177 votesHello everyone! The Dimension team is very interested in the topic of creation/modeling/editing as a whole. We haven’t added any creation so far, but are actively researching this area. We have a new survey on modeling and editing and would love your thoughts on the topic!
-
Text Tool
A Text tool, for creating flat and 3D text.

Capabilities to model original objects

Animation Support
Keyframes for creating animations
66 votesWhat kind of video would you want to make? More like quick turn-arounds, .gifs, mo-graphs or full animated scenes?
-
Combine/Subtract Models (Booleans/Pathfinder)
Booleans are the 3D equivalent of pathfinder, allowing you to take two shapes and combine or subtract their volumes from each other. For example, taking a cube then using a cylinder to 'cut' a hole through the cube.

Import .stp STEP files
Dimension would be much more useful if it could import standard cad formats such as .stp files.
50 votesHello all! We recently added several new formats including .stl, .skp, and .fbx. However .stp/.step was not included and is still under review.
-
Liquid Creation
When importing 3d models such as bottles, it would be nice if Adobe Dimension could add a liquid fill feature so that the bottle can represent a real beverage or condiment product.

-
Integrate with After Effects
Integrate in some way with after effects so we can use 3d in motion rather than just in stills.
40 votes:) What kind of integration would you be looking for? Do you want to export animation from Felix? Or do you want to take the 3d models into AE for animating there with C4D lite?
-
Single Select Tool (combine move/rotate/scale)
Currently Project Felix has three tools for selectiong and transformation, the Move, Scale, and Rotate tools. A single tool would allow you to do some or all of the actions with a single tool with a redesigned interface.

Animation Presets
Basic animation presets would be used to create turn arounds, fly-throughs, orbits, and other quick camera and object movements. These would likely include some parameters for customization such as speed, distance, and duration. Presets would not expose a full timeline and allow key framing for all properties initially.

Background Layer Controls (position, rotate, scale)
Currently the background image is simply projected as is with some basic controls for choosing between scale modes (crop, fit, or scale). Controls would allow you to position, rotate, and scale the background image freely in relation to the camera.

Import / Add Custom Items to Assets
So far, so good! It would be nice to have the import / add models UI also included in the models modal.

Create 3d .pdf files
I would like to be able to create 3d .pdf files so I can show my clients interactive 3d models.
26 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:
-
Folding and Special Printing Effects
Can we have special printing effects simulated over the packaging designs - like UV, Foil, Embossing.... it would be excellent!
25 votesSomething we’re interested in exploring! I’d love to know how you’d envision this workflow, in your own words.
-
Render Selected area.
Render just a selection.
25 votesThanks for the suggestion! Can I ask for a bit more detail? Would you want to define an area of the screen and have that keep rendering even if you change your camera? Or just like a quick “Show me this area” then it goes away?
-
Align Objects in 3D
While creating 3D sculptures, I would love the option to align the different shapes (centered/External sides...) based on space or between objects.
25 votesGreat suggestion. Any other types of alignment that you think would be helpful?
-
Basic 3D shape presets with options
I would like some basic 3D modelling parameters such as torus diameter etc

-
Fuse Characters in Felix
Felix should import fuse files.
23 votes -
Render Round Corners
I could be valuable to add "Round Corners" feature to the render engine.
If it really Vray under Felix, I guess that this feature already exist, and it could be cool to expose it in Felix.The goal is to give more realism to basic shapes (lighter models) and to go faster...
22 votesYeah this is a VRay feature we’ve thought about. It just rounds out the edges a little bit to give them a more natural, less ‘hard’ look. I think it could be very valuable! Thanks for posting!
-
Background Rendering
Ideally I would like to be able to work and render at the same time. So consider have a separate tab or window for the render. This way I can render high quality in the background, while working on a new model, scene, etc in the foreground.
20 votesThanks for the suggestion! Definitely something that would help fill up those render times, and something we’re considering!
