As of July 2024, Photoshop’s legacy 3D features have been removed. However, now in the Photoshop (beta) app you can seamlessly add 3D objects to your 2D Photoshop design using the Adobe Substance 3D Viewer (beta) app. Click here for more details.
Note: This feature is currently available only in English.
The Creative Cloud 3D Animation (Preview) service
The Creative Cloud 3D Animation (Preview) service in Photoshop lets you easily animate 3D characters. This service currently works with human 3D characters assembled in Adobe Fuse CC (Beta). You can apply a variety of poses, animations, and effects to these human characters using intuitive controls right within Photoshop. You can then integrate the character with a larger 3D scene for a variety of use-cases and even print the characters using a 3D printer. Photoshop lets you easily adjust camera angles and lighting to get just the look that you want.
Note
The Creative Cloud 3D Animation service is enabled by default. If you're unable to use it, ensure that the Preferences > Technology Previews > Enable CC 3D Animations (Preview) setting is selected. The service is enabled immediately after you close the Preferences dialog.
Adobe Fuse (Beta) and Creative Cloud Libraries
Adobe Fuse CC (Beta) is a desktop app for creating highly customizable 3D human characters in minutes. Without any prior 3D experience, you can quickly create characters using a library of high-quality 3D content—from faces and bodies to clothing and textures with an option to customize the color, texture, and shape of over 280 attributes.
Once you've created your characters in Adobe Fuse (Beta), you can save them to Creative Cloud Libraries and bring them into the 3D workspace in Photoshop. Now, in Photoshop, you can easily apply animations, poses, and effects to the characters and ready them for compositing into larger 3D scenes.
Animate the 3D character in Photoshop
To animate a character in Photoshop, you work with its properties in the 3D workspace. The following broad animation-related properties are available for tweaking in the 3D workspace:
A. Body | B. Face | C. Coordinates | D. Properties menu | E. Search | F. Search options
Body
Set the properties of the body of your 3D character.
Face

Coordinates

Properties menu

Search
