Adobe Fuse

Intro to 3D in Photoshop CC and Adobe Fuse - Live Presentation at Ascend Training

In this live event recorded at Ascend Training, I give an overview on how to transition from Graphic Design apps like Photoshop into working in 3D. Transitioning into 3D animation can seem like a big leap, but there are gradual steps you can follow to make it less intimidating. I get into starting in Photoshop's 3D environment to  create a basic 3D logo, as well as working with Adobe Fuse, a new 3D character creation app that integrates with  through Adobe CC Libraries.

Adobe Fuse is a new 3D character creator app, part of Adobe Creative Cloud. With it you can build out a custom 3D character using an intelligent UI, and then either bring your newly created character into Photoshop CC, or upload it to Mixamo's where you can add MoCap data and Download workable 3D files in a variety of formats.

How to use Photoshop to edit the materials of 3D Characters created in Adobe Fuse

After you've assembled a 3D character in Adobe Fuse, then worked on customizing the character, and added clothing to your character, you can also edit and customize the Materials once you bring the 3D character into Photoshop. By customizing the textures, you can adjust materials found on the clothing, as well as swap out the textures, change the colors, and more. If you want to completely customize an existing material, you can dig into the asset folder of Adobe Fuse and open up an image materials in Photoshop CC.

How to send 3D Characters from Adobe Fuse to Cinema 4D

When I first got a look at Adobe Fuse, one of my first big questions was - how do you get this into Cinema 4D or After Effects? After you've created a custom 3D character in Adobe Fuse, the other option besides adding it to your CC Library is to upload it to Mixamo.com. This process lets you add your newly minted 3D character to Mixamo's web app, where it'll auto-rig it, and let you add a variety of Motion Capture animations. Once you have a couple MoCap animations added to your character, you can download it in a variety of formats, such as .fbx or .dae. From there you can open it up in Cinema 4D, and take it from there!

How to create custom 3D Characters in Adobe Fuse and bring them into Photoshop CC

I first saw Adobe Fuse at Adobe MAX back in the fall of last year, and I was really excited about the potential of what you can do, and what this app has the power to become. When Adobe first announced the purchase of Mixamo, known for 3D gaming character assets, I was curious as to how it would be added to the Adobe Mix. Now the Fuse, which was under development by Mixamo, you can design a 3D character using a smart UI and sliders, and then bring it into Photoshop CC, or export it to your preferred 3D app.

Remember that sweet character creator in NBA Live '95? (kids ask your parents) Now you can do that, and call it work! Learn how to get started with Adobe Fuse to build out a custom 3D character in the tutorial above, and then how to sync it to your Adobe Creative Cloud Library and bring it directly into Photoshop. Once in Photoshop CC, you can then choose from a large library of MoCap data to have the character animated.
