If you haven't already, check out our previous tutorial for creating 3D typography to see how easily you can make these letters. I've also added more shapes from the provided shape options, as well as a ladder I created myself from multiple custom cylinder shapes.įor some added visual interest, I'm also going to add some text extrusion shapes. I've now added bevels to all my shapes, as well as half cylinders to make the scene more interesting. Here, I'll create a half-cylinder shape by slicing this cylinder. In addition to adding a beveled edge, we can also slice our shapes to reduce geometry. Let's go ahead and add some beveling to our shapes. Since no real-world objects have truly sharp edges without some sort of rounded edge, the ability to even slightly round the edges of your shapes will greatly increase the realism of your objects.

Beveling our edgesĪn exciting new feature with the latest Dimension update is the ability to bevel the edges of your shapes. The smaller the object, the fewer sides you'll need.
It's best to limit the number of sides as much as you can, especially if you have a lot of objects in your scene. Increasing the number of sides will increase the edge geometry of our shapes, but at the cost of slowing down our scene. Shapes also have a set amount of sides by default. For right now, I'm using mostly spheres, cylinders and square objects with a few torus shapes. You can choose from a variety of shapes to manipulate and play with in Dimension. This will help our composition feel more intricate and visually interesting. You can then start adding some more intricate shapes to fill in around the larger blocks. Now that I've got my simple scene blocked out, it's time to start refining the shapes and working in the finer details. To get an isometric view, just slide the Field of View value all the way to the left to 1 in the Camera Perspective properties. I then would like to create a nice aerial, isometric camera angle for my scene. To add your ground floor, simply place a plane object onto your scene and resize as needed.įor this example, I've placed a plane object to create my ground floor. Using our own floor will allow us to assign a custom material to it later for a more realistic final result. Now that we've laid out the basic sketch of our structure and blocked things out, let's quickly set up our scene and camera.įirst, go to the Environment tab and turn "Ground Floor" off, since we will be using our own ground floor. Here is the result of placing some cubes, spheres and cylinders into a simple composition: Setting our scene and camera We will then modify the height, width and depth values of our shapes to get a nice variation in geometry. Yours doesn't have to be exactly like mine if you want to do your own thing here. I'm going to start by simply dragging shapes into my scene to block out the basic structure of my composition. You can also use tried and true pen and paper as well, of course. Piet Mondrian, a dutch painter from the 20th century, is known for his abstract geometric art.Īn easy way to "sketch" out your own scene is to block out your sculpture with simple shapes such as squares or spheres. Work by Russian artist, Kazimir Malevichįor colors, I was also inspired by the works of Piet Mondrian.
I wanted to use the new shapes feature to create similar sculptures using simple geometric shapes. I've recently been inspired by the Suprematism art movement, and particularly the Arkhitekton works by Kazimir Malevich. Even if your end result is wildly different, it's always helpful to have a vision at the beginning. Sketching out your idea beforehand is a great way to get a starting point. Here is what we'll create: Getting startedĪs with any creative endeavor, it's helpful to get a rough idea of what you'll be creating so you aren't wandering around aimlessly. Let's jump into this tutorial! What we'll be creatingįor this tutorial, we'll be creating a geometric sculpture using the new customizable basic shapes feature. No longer bound to the simple pre-made shapes that previously came with Dimension, you can now create and tweak your own shapes to your heart's content.īut enough talk. The shapes feature opens up a whole new way to play with geometric 3D designs and tailor them to your needs. The latest update includes a feature I personally couldn't be more thrilled about: customizable basic shapes. Since beginning our journey with Adobe Dimension, we've covered everything from creating three-dimensional typographic posters to making abstract 3D art as a beginner to creating packaging and product designs with Dimension.Īlthough Dimension is not a modeling tool, it continues to release features that empower designers to create their own 3D compositions – without any 3D experience.
