    Hi everyone,

    I was wanting to know has anyone ever heard of or ever used Adobe Dimensions? Also, would you recommend it for purchase? I'm trying to find a demo to try it out but I can't. Thanks.

    Here's a link to Adobe's website concerning Dimensions:

    http://www.adobe.com/products/dimensions/main.html

    On the lower left is a link for "free Dimensions tryout". That would be your demo.

    Tell me, did you find out that the graphics you were attemting to emulate were made with Dimensions? I am not familiar with it myself, so I'm curious.

    Hope this helps,
    Brett

    RJ...
    Here bud, checkout this FREE version of Strata 3D Pro (basic) -- Strata 3Dbase

    NOTE: check their site for tutes, manuals, etc.

    AD3 is very limited, and the above app will give you more power and control if you should ever want/need it.

    Hey Jens?!...
    Man it sounds like you'll like the new article i'm writing for "GraphicsNews.com". I talk about alternative apps to buy instead of the 'high-end' ones most popular in the Web Design field. Covers 2D - vector & raster, 3D, & html apps.

    Look for it real soon at that site; i'm just tidying up a few things before final submission. No big revalations or anything... just trying to bring this subject into the light with folks.

    Hey Jens,

    Long time no see. Well, I don't know that much about that app. I plan to find out. I'm trying to find a demo now. As far as its' power as a 3D app, I have no idea. I don't know, though, I haven't found a photo editor that could beat out Photo shop. I have Adobe Illustrator. I haven't tried it just yet, but, I hear good things about it. I plan to find that app next for evaluation. One thing I will agree though is their prices are out of the stratosphere. If there are any other apps as good as their software and priced lower, then, yeah I'd get that instead.

    Stu,

    good idea - would mean at least a nice income. However, I won't work for Macromedia either - a company with a lousy support is not worth my input!

    Oh, really, my silly friend? I happen to LOVE Adobe, both as a company and their individual products.

    RJ,

    I don´t know what you really want to do in 3D.
    If you look for real 3D app AD is not your choice for sure. But...with imagination you can do really nice thngs with Adobe Dimensions. For example recording a sequence and export in AI and open in Flash to have a nice 3D animation. The program has severall positive points but 3D is more oriented to integrate with Adobe products and keep consistency in color model and of course you allways have the non neglecting characteristic of being able to work with vectorial export as with raster. You can create nice stuff and finish in Photoshop or even in Xara. Mapping is also available. I've used it in severall ocasions to generate 3D images more oriented to packaging. It's a nice although limited app if you consider pure 3D but it's a honest and "colore fidelis" bridge application for EPS and AI color trust applications.
