Adobe Creative 3D Workflows brings a practical approach to understanding not only how to begin working with 3D assets but how each of the relevant Adobe apps interact through the creation and application of 3D materials, models, and effects across different workflows. Each topic begins with an overview grounding the approach alongside useful tools and then transitions to a tutorial-like approach with hands-on examples created through a specific set of workflows. From generating custom materials in Substance 3D Sampler, to producing 3D models from vector shapes using Illustrator while adding motion to these models in After Effects, to designing a variety of 3D environments across various platforms, this book provides a foundation of how to successfully work in the Creative Cloud and Substance 3D apps to produce stunning results. Understand 3D-specific terminology and concepts that carry across different software. Create rich, realistic materials that can be applied to 3D models in various environments. Work with Substance 3D technologies within more traditional 2D apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. Design engaging motion content in 3D space while combining 2D planes with true 3D models. Explore additional 3D focused capabilities and workflows in immersive AR, intelligent product mockups, interactive VR, and more.

Gain a thorough understanding of the two pillars of any User Experience project: the mission and the process. The mission is to keep the user in mind at each step or milestone as the developer progresses through the project. The process is how that mission is accomplished through collaboration and the use of research, design and development technologies. This book walks you through a developer's journey through the UX process, from start to finish. A Guide to UX Design and Development concentrates on the intersection of what is called ¿DesignOps¿ and ¿DevOps.¿ That intersection is where collaboration between all members of the team, including stakeholders and clients, occurs and neither DesignOps nor DevOps can go beyond being considered just buzzwords if they instead silo design and development. To highlight the UX Mission and illustrate the responsibility developers also hold for the user experience, authors Tom Green and Joseph Labrecque take you througha hypothetical project involving the development of a parking app for a municipal parking authority. As the book progresses, they concentrate on the developer's journey through the whole project from discovery to product release. In this journey, you will see how developers can make an impact and contribute to the user experience.This will include such topics as why there is a need for both a user journey map and a technical journey map. The authors explain why prototyping is not as complicated as it is made out to be because it is simply an early low-cost and disposable minimal viable product that gives the developer a deep understanding of the project's intent in support of the UX Mission. You will also explore the creation and use of design systems and why the developer's role is just as important as the people who create the design system. The role and responsibility of the developer in user testing is discussed in the context of a variety of testing and assessment methodsconducted to achieve the UX mission.Finally, yoüll gain an understanding of how design and development deliverables are negotiated, prepared and sent out for research at each step of the process, and how the developer is involved.What You Will LearnUnderstand the evolving role of the developer in a team-based environmentLearn the five stages of the UX process Discover the importance of collaboration and communication with stakeholders, designers, and developers at every stage of the processLearn a variety of design and development documents created during the UX processWho This Book Is ForDevelopers and designers involved in the UX Process, as well as developers trying to make sense of the confusing amount of information out there regarding their role in the UX process.

This study guide uses text integrated with video to help learners gain real-world skills that will get them started in their career in web graphics, animation, or interactive media, and lays the foundation for taking the Adobe Animate CC ACA exam. A mix of project-based lessons, practical videos, and regular assessments throughout prepares beginning learners for an entry-level position in a competitive job market.Adobe conducted research to identify the foundational skills students need to effectively communicate using digital media tools. Based on feedback from educators, design professionals, businesses, and educational institutions around the world, the objectives cover entry-level skill expectations for each topic. The ACA exams have proved to be highly successful; Adobe reports that the total number of exams taken worldwide has reached one million since 2008. Product development was guided by Peachpit's research in the entry-level creative media market. Interviews with educators from high school through four-year colleges provided valuable data and insight into this realm. The Peachpit team identified essential elements for a product that would teach design students what they need to prepare for the job market and to take the ACA cert exam. Peachpit also was able to identify a stellar team of teachers/trainers who have high rates of success getting students certified: Rob Schwartz and his colleagues at BrainBuffet.com & acatestprep.com.
