Controls for lighting direction
LOVING the way the shadows are falling! The even occlude objects in the real world! It would be great to have control over the “POSITION” of the key lighting source.
Thanks!
61 votesThanks for this feedback! We are exploring how to approach this now. If you can let us know what scenarios/workflows you would like to be able to set the light direction, that would be super helpful.
Thanks!

Text Edit Tool/Object
Well, a simple text tool to create messages or information blocks floating over the scene. Next step could be data driven text, dynamically updated on demand.
33 votesThank you for the suggestion! Can you provide a bit more detail on how you would like to use this in your workflow and where you may want to see this option?

Face Tracking For Social Media Masks/Filters
Add ability to track human face and use it like a grid for design. In other words, let’s allow user to create new insta/snap mask and filters. Thanks.

Coding Environment
While Aero Desktop Beta is really good fun and supremely easy to use - and is waaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable/practical to use than the mobile version if you’re needing to generate content on regular basis - I’ve found the environment a little too limiting compared to workspaces which allow for the inclusion of bespoke code and therefore more expansive creation (Three.js, A-frame.js, AR.js, 8th Wall, Unity Mars, etc).
So, the addition of an integrated coding workspace would be great and would provide lots more potential for creating content. However, I do appreciate that's maybe not the work environment you’re aiming for…

Can you describe how you would use this in your workflow, examples you may have, or what controls you may need?

Web-based Viewing Options
I work at a university and it can be difficult to push out an experience because of the variety of phones and the barrier of downloading an app.
An amazing feature would be to have a browser-based viewing option that wouldn't require downloading the app.

Add smart guides, and anchors
Smart guides would be great when positioning multiple objects to level them out on the same plane, I was having a difficult time doing this. Anchor points would a low for the pinning of objects to a exact pixel, this could allow for the object to animate and flexibility to move and serve a realistic purpose. Say if I wanted the corner of my picture to hold position but I did not mind it the other parts moved as much or the tail of the dinosaur to be anchored in place.
22 votesThank you for your feature suggestion! It sounds like you are looking to use this feature like a “Transform” with snap functionality. Can you tell me more about how you would use this with your workflow?

Increase file size
I would like to use more detailed models with more poly’s. A larger file size. I look at Aero from a production platform or high end story telling tool. I would like to use Aero to create intense scenes with awesome effects and the sound features recently added. We create full cast audio books and would like to take it to the next level and Aero could be the tool we have been looking for to do that.
19 votesThanks for this feature request! It would help us greatly if you could specify the size and file type of your files – or even better, send the files to us that are failing so we can know what range to target!

Particles
Instanced and simulated objects allowing for the creation of things like smoke, steam, fire or fairy-dust
19 votesThank you for the feature suggestion! Let us know more about how you would like to use particles in your AR experiences and how you would integrate this into your workflow.

Export to USDZ, GLB, glTF, Instagram Spark etc
It would be great if the desktop Aero can have a multi-format exporter. So that we can build once and export to iOS, Android, Instagram's Spark AR.
Also, an option to export at different quality settings. Perhaps this will decrease the all texture sizes automatically. I find I have to constantly keep the file size down especially when embedding the AR to websites.
In addition, I find that at the end of an AR project I would export the assets to Adobe Dimension to finely render a single frame for promotional use. It would be useful if desktop Aero can…

Measuring Tool
I interested to use AR as a tool to review designs as a final product in the exact size of the product, especially when we designed artwork for trade shows displays and signage, AR can be very helpful for our clients to review the design before it sent to production. In a workflow like this, sometimes we need to take a measuring tool, it would be great if we can have a feature to measure any object or surface while viewing the design inside Aero.
14 votesThis is a really valuable feature request that we will consider for the near term roadmap. Thanks!

[UI] Don't hide the behaviour workspace
So, the small escaping guy at the bottom of the screen is the behaviour panel. Had to guess it (cause I didn't RTFM first, I know).
I hope it's just a matter of time before he gets a better icon and position :)
The Aero interface looks A LOT like Dimension, but is, of course, way rougher.
If it's there to stay in Dimension (Home/Concept/Render), then I'd suggest the same top line in Aero : Home / Place / Behaviour
(Plus it would match XD's Home/Create/Interact)9 votesThank you for the feature suggestion and glad to hear there is support for using similar paradigms to Dimension. While we are considering how to keep the experience between the apps consistent, we are also aware that in Aero there is a need to work on Behaviors while you work on scene placement, so placing as a separate space would require lots of flipping back and forth.

Import UI elements/functionality from Adobe XD
As Project Aero progresses in features and development, creators will need UI design support for user interactivity of their work.
UI elements and functionality could be exported from Adobe XD to Aero and with a little help from Xcode (or not) have a final fully interactive AR experience published.
9 votesGreat suggestion! We would love more specifics on your use cases and how you see using this in your current workflow.

Select and Place Objects on Multiple Surfaces
It would be great to be able to select multiple surfaces within one scene to place asset on all them. I.e. placing a plant on a table, and a drawing in a wall. So, there should be a “plus” extra button to add new surfaces. Maybe layers for each surface could be useful in the workflow.

Animation pause time option
Perhaps the option to add parameter to pause animation for allocated time.
7 votesThanks for the feature suggestion! Can you describe how you would use this in your workflow? Do you want to pause mid animation or have a “wait” for the animation to start / end?

Import AR triggers from file
The current Areo right now is using the assets by drag them into the scene to create AR. Why not creating AR using triggers in a simple way!! If possible of course.
My idea is: keep touching the asset and you will get an option called “add trigger”. After that you will have 2 choices, either by selecting an uploaded file of a trigger from the cloud or by taking a photo of it. After that, a small icon will be on the asset icon corner represent that it has trigger assigned to it. So whenever I place a trigger…7 votesVery interesting ideas, thank you for submitting! We would need some more clarification here in order to strongly consider this as a feature.
- What kind of trigger file would be in the cloud?
- Would you expect this trigger file be created in a different program or do you expect this to be something you find in a content library or on Adobe Stock?
- When you say “make AR out of it” what does that mean to you?

Import 3d compositions directly from After Effects
It would be great to import multi layer 3D comps directly from After Effects. Especially if you could bring in keyed video along with animated layers.
6 votesThanks for your feature suggestion! Can you describe how you would use this in your workflow and what controls you may need? Thanks!

Real objects recognition
It could be useful if app Aero, after scanning for a surface, could recognise objects also (for example trough a barcode or beacon technology). We could have more choice in the association between real and virtual world.
6 votesThanks for the feature suggestion! Can you give us a bit more detail into how you would like this to integrate into your workflow and how you would use it?

Optimize File Size
Hello,
Playing a little with the last build of Aero, I find some enhancements.
It looks working a little better, but I have some troubles with the Usdz export, even if it isn’t the main feature.
Could it be possible to warn the user about the final file size of the exported scene?
It looks like some devices (iPhone 8) aren’t able to handle scene files larger than 10Mo...
It could be valuable if Aero could compress/resample textures in order to get smaller files in the case of the file exceed a certain amount.Many thanks
6 votesThanks for the feature suggestion! Are you looking to know what the export size of your scene is going when you publish or do you want objects to be compressed when they are imported into the Aero app? Thanks!

Desktop Update Bug
Latest update killed ability to load from CC - had to go back to version 1.
5 votesThanks for letting us know you’re experiencing an issue. Do you mind sending us some screenshots or a video capture of what you are seeing?
What kind of files are you trying to import into Aero from CC?
