Custom 3D Objects for Adobe Dimension

In this Adobe tutorial, I'll show you how to make a custom 3D object (.obj file) that you can import into Adobe Dimension for use as a 3D product mockup, using both Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Of course, if you already have a 3D program like Cinema 4D or Blender, then those will probably be better for building these models. For simple applications, however, this is a great way to make something quick and easy that looks pretty solid as a mockup.

Great video. FYI Adobe Dimension 4.0 is out a week ago, with over 500 materials and other improvements. Hope you make a video with that version. Thank you 👌

[@malkizoghlami1533]

dude just gave you the whole shortcuts set in one tutorial, great tuto man thanks.

[@grubedoo]

Glad to find a Dimension tutorial that doesn't suck. Thanks, man!

[@CaryHawkins]

Glad you liked it!

[@blessedson6021]

crazily amazing, the combination of Ai, Photoshop and Adobe Dimension is sweet.
Would love to see more tutorial to build on

[@ravinderseehray]

i dont now why i missed this awesome tutorial

[@prashantshah1403]

Even though it was a lot, its exactly what i was looking for with such great brief explanations. Thanks bruv

Thanks for simplifying complex topics and making them easy to understand. 😇

[@biobio.jasmine6864]

having tNice tutorials tutorial playing when first using soft soft was a godsend. Thank you!!

[@mtgames9238]

obsessed with soft design now and more obsessed with cool scales Nd stuff.

[@ronny_s]

Thanks Mr Hawkins for the "Bo'Oh'O'wa'Aer" tutorial

[@subscribethe8779]

Hi, i think you should select the option simplify meshes in photoshop and then to export it to Dimension. This way you can add the label both sides without Dimension mirroring it.

[@CaryHawkins]

I've had others suggest similar ideas. I'll have to try it.

[@andersrydingdaugaard]

​@@CaryHawkins Did you try this out.... do you have any comments in matching the length of the actual label design and the size of the bootle that is used as 3D... or should that just fit since the shape is orginally desgned from a picture of the actual water bottle... and that way if you messured a "real life" paper version you know the size of the indesign label... so after that both ends should almost come togeather when wrapping around the 3D model ?

[@CaryHawkins]

@@andersrydingdaugaard I have not had a chance to mess with the texture setting yet. When I did my example in the video, I just eyeballed it. I didn't measure anything.

[@vroadrunner197]

just stumbled across your video and It was really helpful. Hope to see more. Thank you!

[@007Yasir]

Great video, I’m running on Mac Studio, thanks

[@chrisjones6351]

I think it's great for the rendering and materials, saves a whole load of time but I would still stick to my 3d software to create my models as the process is quicker, easier and just overall better for creating realistic models.

[@CaryHawkins]

Yes. Dimension is not for building.

[@KKK-ug4me]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! Keep doing your great work 🎉🎉🎉

[@FarukTecHBd]

Thanks for explain smoothy 3d model creating. ❤️

Helped me render the output I needed.

[@stefgreen5237]

I think there will be a lot of images out there with that background lol. Looking forward to trying it when I get my new mac! I think I will keep just a single colour background - it still looks really good

[@CaryHawkins]

I've used it on a few myself.

[@yosilight-alimentolacteoli9908]

Very interesting way to create and resolve this problem I have to make my own bottles! thanks Cary!

[@CaryHawkins]

Glad you found it useful!

[@invntdesigns]

Amazing.... It appears easy, but I believe it requires years of practice to become as skilled as you are. Could you kindly recommend a video tutorial that demonstrates the proper technique for "pouring water or any other liquid into a bottle or jar", for assistance?

[@CaryHawkins]

I can't. I don't do a ton of 3D myself. It's just not as useful for my clients with a few exceptions. Let me know if you find a good one.

[@adeodatuskakorozya9064]

Great video thank you I actually could simply do it

[@rsinghheera2383]

Thanks You Cary this is very good software and your teaching is very good Sir Thanks!

[@CaryHawkins]

Thanks!

[@benjaminrude3814]

Thanks for posting this Cary! For the incorporation of the back lable why don't you import the graphics as separate PNGs. the blue Background as a PNG, the logo and graphics as a separate PNG, and the Back nutritional info as its own PNG. That you you can just Layer them and get everything you need.

[@CaryHawkins]

Sure, why not? The only reason would be time. It's easier to get all elements at once, especially for this tutorial. I have layered stuff before when I've needed some matte and some glossy elements. I usually don't mess with the back label because it's not sexy anyway.

[@tarikvelioglu1907]

[@raphaelameira1242]

Cary this is the best tutorial that I've found here! Congrats!
I get to do it the way you explained and it's amazing! Could you help me with a difficulty? How could I do when the bottle is not symmetrical? I've try to do the steps but, in front view, the top of the bottle that I'm trying to do, is completely different :(

[@CaryHawkins]

Asymetrical 3D is not really something Illustrator can handle, I don't think. You might try Blender, it's free 3D software that should allow you to do what you want. I don't have any blender tutorials though.

[@crazyolba]

Great tutorial thanks a lot! What other 3D programmes would you suggest using to better achieve what you've done in the video?

[@CaryHawkins]

Blender is a good free tool. It's a little cumbersome though. Cinema 4D is a solid purchase if you have the money and want a high-end software.

[@melihguzel1554]

Completely agree. Aweso video

[@Clauds71]

Very helpful 👍

Looks like you forget the background match option when you import background image.. please try that next time. It will fix the angle issues

Will do!
