Substance 3D in Illustrator
Through the acquisition of Substance 3D, Adobe has begun to integrate this product into the Creative Cloud subscription in interesting ways. You can now benefit from some of the free materials offered within the updated 3D user interface within Illustrator. Adobe has decided to offer the complete Substance 3D package as an additional subscription, but you can still do quite a bit with the free materials, as it gives you the ability to add your own materials or even wrap a graphic. You can also add lighting for a final touch before rendering your image.
