Adobe’s new 3D tool is ready for download

Somehow I missed this news back in December, but if you’re a Creative Cloud member, you can download Adobe’s new 2D/3D compositing tool, Project Felix.

If your specs measure up…

On Windows 10, you’ll need at least 8 GB of RAM and a Geforce GTX 770 or better graphics card. On macOS, the minimum is also 8 GB of RAM and either an Intel Iris Graphics 540 or GeForce GT 750M card, though here, too, Adobe recommends 16 GB of RAM or more.

…maybe you, too, can make a weird Velvet Underground homage (?).

I’m really eager to see what my Adobe friends can devise, but boy is this a tough nut to crack (or giant banana to peel, if you prefer). I think there’s real hotness to be had by rethinking creation & compositing in a 3D context, but making people wrestle with & care about traditional 3D concepts isn’t what I have in mind. We’ll see.

One thought on “Adobe’s new 3D tool is ready for download

  1. It’s missing the needed integration between Illustrator or Photoshop and Felix. It has the potential to be an awesome tool for product mocking/composition, but without the integration it’s lacking. It was pitched a little different at AdobeMAX.
