What is Project Sunrise?
Project Sunrise is a collaborative tool that empowers businesses to showcase products in both 2D and 3D on the web and in AR. While Sunrise has a ton of functionality, it’s also easy to use, even if you don’t have experience with 3D.
Below we’ll cover the basics of what Sunrise allows you to do and the standard workflow Sunrise uses.
This is only an introduction to Sunrise, and many of the topics below are covered in more detail elsewhere in the documentation. Feel free to follow links to find out more.
Sunrise has many features to help you in the process of generating 2D and 3D experiences:
- A collaborative platform:
- Sunrise is fully collaborative, meaning users can work together simultaneously on projects, review content, and update assets without worrying about accidentally overwriting work or stepping on toes.
- A visual library:
- The content you’re creating is inherently visual, and you should be able to see it! Sunrise creates thumbnails for all assets so you no longer have to look for “product_front_v7.jpeg” in a list of dozens of similarly named files. Not only does this make it easier to browse your library, it’s more fun.
- Version tracking:
- Assets are automatically tracked, with previous versions available as needed. Version numbers are also visible on all assets.
With these and other features, Sunrise serves as a digital repository for your products.
How do I setup Project Sunrise?
Sunrise runs in the cloud, so you don’t need to install or manage software locally. Simply log in to https://sunrise.substance3d.adobe.com/ and you’ll be greeted with all the assets and projects belonging to your organization.
We recommend using Google Chrome for Sunrise. Sunrise should also work in other Chromium based browsers, but performance is not guaranteed.

If you don’t have computer 3D versions of your real world products, there are a number of methods of creating them, many of which are supported by the Adobe Substance 3D suite of software. For example, Adobe Substance 3D Sampler allows you to create 3D models with photogrammetry – taking many pictures of a real world object to generate a 3D version. Adobe Substance 3D Modeler and Substance 3D Painter can be used in conjunction to first model, and then texture a 3D version of your real world product.
