Description

Are you ready to delve into the realm of 3D composites? Adobe Substance 3D Stager is a comprehensive application that spans the spectrum of 3D capabilities. From crafting intricate 3D scenes, to achieving photorealistic product staging and the application of intelligent materials and textures in the third dimension, this course is your gateway.Our journey begins with a smooth transition from the 2D realm into the dynamic world of 3D design, harnessing the power of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as our 2D allies and Adobe Substance Stager as our 3D companion. Adobe Substance Stager is renowned for its user-friendly interface, and empowers graphic designers of all levels to attain photorealistic 3D effects in diverse domains, from advertising projects to photography and abstract art.The course begins with a foundation of the essential design principles, and then it takes you through a comprehensive exploration of the Substance Stager workspace. We will then explore the intricately designed tool panels, the Adobe CC Library and the Substance 3D assets page. After this, we will learn how to construct captivating 3D scenes, seamlessly convert 2D elements into three-dimensional masterpieces, harness the potential of parametric brushes and smart materials, and fine-tune environmental lighting, rendering and even 3D object animation.
