Dimension assets for Adobe Aero

Tips to work with Dimension and Aero

Dimension does some work to make your assets mobile-ready, but there are a few things that help you use your assets in Aero more easily! To learn more, see How to Prepare 3D Content for Aero.

Materials

Materials define the way a 3D surface looks and reacts to lighting. Dimension and Aero share some similar material properties, but also have some unique differences.

Here are the changes that occur while moving from Dimension to Aero:

• Translucency: Aero does not support translucency currently. Glass, plastic, liquids, and other translucent material effects do not get preserved. Using plastics, metals, fabrics, woods, and other hard-surface materials provide the best results between Dimension and Aero.
• Decals: Decals are flattened into the material on export and may be scaled down to a lower resolution.
• Textures: Textures get downsized to make the assets perform better on mobile devices. The downsizing takes between a maximum texture size of 2048 and a minimum texture size of 256.

Object hierarchy

Once your objects leave Dimension, they are treated as a single object in Aero — meaning you can’t add behaviors to each piece. If you have two objects you wish to use in Aero, select and export each object individually to maintain them as unique objects.
