This is a brief and to-the-point process video for designers who are unfamiliar with 3D software and looking for a tool to mock up scenes and graphic design. Adobe Dimension is a simpler interface and consistent with its series of Illustrator and Photoshop programs versus having to learn a new 3D interface and shortcuts. If you already know how to use a 3D program, then please skip this video. You’ll get a much better quality rendering from a 3D program if you’re savvy with those tools. This is not intended to show a polished work of art.
