In fact, Stager apparently is built leveraging the Dimension code base. Stager expands on the Adobe Dimension philosophy of simple, “Adobe-style” setup of 3D objects. (Sampler was renamed from its original moniker, “Alchemist.”)
It’s also the core piece of product news here the other members of the collection-Painter, Designer, and Sampler-all existed as shipping products prior to today’s announcement. Stager is exactly what its name suggests: a place to position and lay out your products, lights, and cameras for final product photography. Let’s take a look at the various “components” of Substance 3D Collection and what they offer. Various HDR studio lighting environments are included with the software to immediately create hero looks for products. The collection doesn’t yet provide animation tools, but it does provide drag-and-drop simplicity for the creation of product shots. In this first incarnation there’s a strong focus on virtual product photography. And while it’s not a comprehensive solution yet (Adobe has announced a private beta of a Substance 3D modeler tool for the collection), the dev team have clearly been busy to have developed as much as they have since the Allegorithmic acquisition in early 2019. Its primary focus is clearly on reducing the technical complexity of 3D design, making the tools accessible to graphic designers who don’t want to become computer scientists just to use the software. Let’s cut to the chase: the Substance collection isn’t yet a complete replacement for the likes of Maya or Blender, nor is it meant to be.
Up until now 3D in Adobe’s ecosystem has been limited to simple product shots in Dimension, card-based motion graphics work in After Effects, and a lesser-known 3D render and manipulation tool inside of Photoshop. The Substance 3D Collection is Adobe’s first step towards an end-to-end 3D content authoring solution. Today’s announcement answers that question, at least in part. At the time there was plenty of head scratching, with people wondering what Adobe wanted with a product that created surface materials for 3D models when their Creative Cloud lacked any kind of 3D tool that could take full advantage of them. Adobe just announced the Substance 3D Collection, a new suite of 3D design tools centered around the Substance software they acquired in 2019 along with its parent company, Allegorithmic.
