Product designers often explore colour, material and finish (CMF) relatively late in the process, traditionally in a fab lab or physical workshop. But Adobe's aiming to help bring CMF exploration forward by digitising the traditional trend book format through new assets for Adobe Substance 3D, which includes some of the best 3D software.
The creative tech giant has teamed up with the French fashion trend consulting agency Peclers Paris create a collection of over 40 fully parametric on-trend 3D digital materials. These can be used to iterate product designs in real time and generate photorealistic previews using digital twins, potentially speeding up the design process.
