Adobe and Meta release Substance 3D Reviewer to Reimagine Design Reviews – powered by RapidPipeline
Distributed Design Reviews Re-Imagined, in 3D & VR
If you’re working with a global team doing product design, you might know this problem: how to do a meaningful design review when stakeholders are distributed across the globe? And with design reviews, it’s not only about the “flat” look of a picture, but the spatial, three-dimensional impression of an object matters so much in this area. However, sending around physical samples is costly, slow, and bad for the environment.
To tackle this challenge, Adobe and Meta just released a new product to re-imagine 3D design reviews: enter Substance 3D Reviewer!
Substance 3D Reviewer brings seamless cooperation to teams, with the power of VR – especially through the new Meta Quest headsets. Read the initial announcement here on the Adobe blog.
Powerful and Easy-to-Use 3D Optimization – Thanks to RapidPipeline
One challenge that remained so far was that technical and non-technical stakeholders using Substance 3D Reviewer are able to bring in all kinds of 3D CAD and design files – which is great – but at the same time, those files need to be visualized at high framerates, in stereo view, on VR headsets. This means that an additional data prep step would be needed, which would be a problem in many workflows.
Luckily, Adobe was able to integrate RapidPipeline to solve exactly this challenge: Thanks to RapidPipeline, Substance Reviewer users can now simply optimize their asset for perfect VR use, in the Substance 3D Reviewer Web interface, with just a very few clicks.
Max Limper, CEO at DGG
“It’s super exciting to work with the Adobe team, as they are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D in practice – along with Meta’s cutting-edge VR headsets. We’re incredibly honored to see RapidPipeline supporting this brand-new Adobe product, which is poised to transform distributed 3D design reviews world-wide.”
Guido Quaroni, Senior Director of Engineering at Adobe 3D&I
Explains the product and collaboration: “We needed a reliable way to optimize 3D assets, especially those used as digital twins of physical products, while maintaining full frame rate visualization in Quest headsets, and RapidPipeline provided a tool that was both effective and easy to integrate.”
