Abstract/Summary
To determine whether or not a design team or individual designer can create 3D prototypes and the subsequent finished product in a more economically sound and timely manner by purchasing and utilizing Adobe Creative Cloud applications as opposed to the standard workflow that has been established in the past 20-25 years.
A 15-question qualitative survey was submitted to twenty (20) 3D product designers/engineers that currently work in the established industry. Questions were asked to determine what the standard industry professionals are using in their 3D design workflows and if they are open to newer methods that are becoming available through Adobe’s Creative Cloud.
Additionally, I conducted a personal study of the 3D Tools that Adobe has launched in their newest version of Creative Cloud in order to give my input on whether or not a beginner can learn how to design 3D prototypes and enter into the industry with these skills.
