Basics
Adobe Dimension is the next step in 3D graphic design software. The application gives designers the ability to quickly composite 3D and 2D elements, customize models, materials, and lighting. With advanced 2D-to-3D compositing tools, designers can combine custom graphics with 3D models to stage entire scenes and create final rendered images. As part of Adobe Creative Cloud, you get regular feature updates and access to Libraries, Stock, and more - right from within the app.

Adobe Stock is a growing marketplace of 3D models, materials, lights, and background images that have all been optimized to work with Dimension. There is no additional cost to access Adobe Stock, but you must license the assets before you can work with them in the app. Assets range from free to premium pricing per asset. Once licensed in Adobe Stock and saved to your Creative Cloud Library, the asset appears in the Libraries panel in Dimension.
Dimension comes with a getting started library of free models, materials, and lights that you can find in the Assets panel. You can search and license more 3D assets from Adobe Stock simply by typing a keyword into the search field in the Libraries panel.
Note: If you are a Creative Cloud for enterprise or Creative Cloud for teams member, contact your administrator to gain permission to license and save purchased assets from Adobe Stock.
