Learn Augmented Reality Design Principles in this Adobe Aero series led by artist Heather Dunaway Smith.
Augmented Reality Workflow & Best Practices:
Learn augmented reality workflows & best practices for creating AR experiences in both 2D & 3D.
Best Practices for using 3D in AR:
Learn tips, tricks, & best practices for using 3D models, materials, & animations in AR scenes.
What you learned:
• Aero currently supports models with up to 130K Polygons, but remember that the simpler your model is, the better it will perform.
• I always apply scale, rotation, and position before creating any animations. This ensures that your origin (where your model is anchor is set to 0,0 and all animations will have the appropriate starting and stopping points.
• If I’m using a material that has textures, I try to minimize my file sizes by using compressed JPGs and power of two images.
• Some more advanced materials (also known as shaders) aren’t currently supported by Aero.
• Armatures are a collection of bones that control animations for specific parts of 3d models. They are the most efficient way to use 3d animations in AR.
• Bake your 3D animations prior to exporting them.
• GLBs are often smaller than FBX and work well within Aero.
