Yeah 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!

Thanks 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?

We’ve started some working on making the background “360”, so you can see the full environment light or a 360 photo. We’ll update again when this is available!

Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely something that would help fill up those render times, and something we’re considering!

Hey everyone, Jeanette with the Dimension team here. We are conducting a survey all about 3D Characters!

—

This survey takes 10 minutes to complete. The survey will remain open until Friday, March 22nd at 12:00 PM PT.

Here is the link for the survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FXGB5PD

At the end of the survey, you will have the option to indicate whether you are interested in participating in a 60-minute, 1:1 research interview about 3D characters. Selected participants will receive a $100 USD Amazon gift card as a thank you for their time, upon completion of the interview.

Thanks for the suggestion! Layering materials is definitely something we’re considering.

Hello all! I wanted to make a quick update on Cloud Render! This is still in the free beta period, but with our latest release (Dimension 2.3, which went live today July 16th), we’ve increased the size limit from 2000×2000 pixels to 4000×4000 pixels. Enjoy the higher resolution renders!

Great suggestion! Thank you for the detailed request.

Hello! Snapping in 3D is a huge must for Dimension! I wanted to share two things!

First, if you haven’t tried it yet, clicking on the “pivot handle” (the white handle at the center of the gizmo) will let you drag models along the surface of other models and the ground. I’ve attached a .gif and you can learn more about the move tools in Dimension here:

Second, we’re also going to start working on some more advanced object snapping. I’ll update soon when we have progress!

Hello 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!

Thanks for the suggestion and details! We’ll definitely keep this in mind. It was something we investigated, but couldn’t do it too easily. I’m sure we can with some more time!

Thanks for the suggestion!

The latest release of Dimension now includes. a control preset for Substance Painter which is similar to the 3D industry standard of Alt being the main camera control activator.

However, this only controls the camera presets, not additional tools like WER for move, rotate, scale.

We’d love some feedback from anyone who tries out this preference on whether camera controls being similar to other 3D apps is helpful without additional controls presets for other tools like the transform tools.
