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 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.
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:
-
Click a thumbnail to apply animation to the model. If necessary, adjust the parameters for the animation.
Trim
Adjust the start and end point of animation. Specify the start point of animation in Min and the end point in Max.
In Place
For animations, such as running, which takes the 3D character out of focus, this setting forces the animation to stay in place.
Apply an animation
You now have a fully animated and posed character that is ready to be composited into any scene you choose.
