The world of graphic design is advancing by leaps and bounds, and today practically no one can consider themselves a designer if they do not master 3D tools. However, we have good news for you: through the usual tools you use, such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, you can also become an expert in 3D.
The Power of 3D in Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator, known for its dominance in creating vector graphics, offers advanced tools for working with three-dimensional designs. The Extrusion and Revolution functions allow you to transform simple paths into detailed three-dimensional models. This means that with just a few clicks, you can add depth and volume to your illustrations.
Additionally, Adobe has integrated its AI-based technology into these tools. This facilitates the automatic generation of textures that perfectly fit your models, saving time and ensuring impressive results.
Photoshop: Taking 3D to Another Level
Photoshop has also expanded its three-dimensional capabilities in recent years, offering a variety of options for working with 3D objects. From adjusting lighting and shading to importing three-dimensional models, this software allows designers to explore new creative possibilities.
Among the most notable tools are the smart filters and advanced effects that elevate any composition. Again, artificial intelligence also plays a fundamental role here: Adobe Sensei allows for automatic background filling and design optimization with a single click, reducing manual effort and optimizing results.
Adobe After Effects: Animate Your Creations
But there’s more. For those looking to add motion to their 3D designs, Adobe After Effects is the ultimate tool. Its integrated 3D workspace allows for smooth and professional animation of three-dimensional elements and motion graphics.
With tools like Rotobrush 2, it is possible to cut out objects precisely thanks to AI, simplifying tasks that were previously complex. Additionally, the control options over cameras, lights, and materials open up endless creative possibilities. What are you waiting for to try it?
