Blend different patterns on Fabrics easily.

Make additive changes to materials with filters & generators.

Combine weathering and natural effects like snow or moss or blend fabric, patterns and scanned materials with any other existing ones.

Measure easily with a ruler.

Manage scale with the physical size property.

Define a material's scale to accurately match its look and proportions across 3D surfaces.

Make background more attractive using gen AI.

Create backgrounds with generative AI.

Generate backgrounds for your scenes from text prompts powered by Adobe Firefly.

Match your best-ever background.

Composite your scene to a background with Match Image.

Use Match Image to automatically detect the perspective and lighting of a background image and update your scene to match.

Modify CAD import with various settings.

Import CAD models.

Stager supports many CAD file-types. Modify CAD import with settings like tesselation, UV generation and more.

Design animations for the best Product visuals.
