Adobe Creative 3D Workflows brings a practical approach to understanding not only how to begin working with 3D assets but how each of the relevant Adobe apps interact through the creation and application of 3D materials, models, and effects across different workflows. Each topic begins with an overview grounding the approach alongside useful tools and then transitions to a tutorial-like approach with hands-on examples created through a specific set of workflows. From generating custom materials in Substance 3D Sampler, to producing 3D models from vector shapes using Illustrator while adding motion to these models in After Effects, to designing a variety of 3D environments across various platforms, this book provides a foundation of how to successfully work in the Creative Cloud and Substance 3D apps to produce stunning results.

• Understand 3D-specific terminology and concepts that carry across different software.
• Create rich, realistic materials that can be applied to 3D models in various environments.
• Work with Substance 3D technologies within more traditional 2D apps like Photoshop and Illustrator.
• Design engaging motion content in 3D space while combining 2D planes with true 3D models.
• Explore additional 3D focused capabilities and workflows in immersive AR, intelligent product mockups, interactive VR, and more.
