Starter assets

Dimension ships with many starter assets that you can use to jump-start your projects.

Asset types

Dimension lets you build 3D scenes by combining both 2D and 3D assets. The different types of assets you can use in Dimension are:

  • Models, which are the 3D forms and shapes used in Dimension

  • Materials, which change the look of models

  • Images, which can be applied to models as patterns and logos

  • Lights, which adjust the reflection, shadows, color, and contrast of a scene

Adobe Stock 3D

Adobe Stock includes curated collections of 3D content, ready-made for use in Dimension.

  • Access Adobe Stock on the web

  • Use the Creative Cloud Libraries panel in-app to browse directly in Dimension

Import custom assets

Dimension also supports importing models, materials, lights, and images from your hard drive in many common formats.
