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.
-
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.

Create 3d .pdf files
I would like to be able to create 3d .pdf files so I can show my clients interactive 3d models.
44 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:
-
Isometric view / render / setting
I would really love to be able to set up an isometric view :) (with and withouth dept of field) <3
43 votes -
Displacement / Height map support
Would love the addition of Displacement maps so we can get some added details out of certain models. Would add a lot of realism for an otherwise flat world of extras beside normals.
41 votesHey everyone! Today we announced the release of a new app – Adobe Substance 3D Stager.
Stager builds on the foundation of Dimension but has a completely reworked infrastructure and is built for pro audiences.
Stager includes a new material model that provides a ton of new controls including displacement and tessellation.
In addition Stager’s material model supports sheen, clear coat, anisotropy, subsurface scattering, dispersion, and much more!
You can find more information about Stager here:

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...
40 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!
-
Render Selected area.
Render just a selection.
38 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?
-
360 background image
I would like to be able to use a 360 still or video with Dimension so that when I rotate the view the background rotates in relation to the objects in the center.
35 votesWe’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!
-
Reflect/Mirror/Flip 3d Object
I need ability to duplicate and relection 3d element. Right now if we duplicate 3d stuff on the left and want it the same look and position on the right - reflected look. It is impossible to get the look using rotation orbit.
33 votesGreat suggestion! Thank you for the detailed request.
-
Snap Objects Together
Snap Objects together by seecting the two faces you want to touch (snap to surface, snapy to edge, snapt to center etc)
33 votesHello! 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:
https://helpx.adobe.com/dimension/using/use-transform-tools-select-arrange-objects.htmlSecond, we’re also going to start working on some more advanced object snapping. I’ll update soon when we have progress!
-
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.
33 votesThanks for the suggestion! Definitely something that would help fill up those render times, and something we’re considering!
-
Cloud Rendering
option to process final renders in the 'cloud', render images on external servers not on local machine. this would be a dream for all those not carrying around monster laptops or able to waste hours watching pixels grow.
33 votesAs of January 11, 2021, Cloud Rendering (beta) has been removed from Dimension.
Thank you for all who participated in using the beta during this time and for the exceptional feedback provided to the team! We are continuing to develop our rendering solutions including in-app, cloud, and automation offerings and you can expect more rendering news in future releases.
-
Layered Material
When creating more complex materials, one of the most important things that I'm missing is a layered material, that we can blend different materials on top of another using masks or blend values like we have in VRayBlendMtl: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAY3MAX/Blend+Material+%7C+VRayBlendMtl
31 votesThanks for the suggestion! Layering materials is definitely something we’re considering.
-
Wireframe/Shaded display feature
For better performance it will be helpful to add wireframe / shaded display of object while working on project as it takes time to apply any action
31 votes -
Camera Animation
The ability to animate the camera to move over time. Moving by keyframe or along a path in 3D space.

Fuse Characters
Dimension should import fuse files.
29 votesHey 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/FXGB5PDAt 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.

3D Model Effects (twist, bend, shatter)
Effects are used on a model to change the basic shape in some manner. Common examples are twist, bend, and shatter.
26 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!
-
UV Map Editing
Ability to control the UV maps for 3D models

Export decal as separate layer
HI! Great start on this application, could be amazing.
Right off the bat, it's imperative to be able to export a label or decal separate from the object it's on. Would be a great feature - not so usable until thats there. Thanks!
Mike25 votesThanks 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!

Importing Multiple OBJ Files
would be great to import multiple OBJ files into a project. ;)
23 votesThanks for the suggestion!
-
Export Videos
Once there is animation support it would be great to export in video.
