Stager includes a variety of general new staging features including collision based layout, multi-camera resolution outputs, physical lights, and much more.Stager's material system has been updated for a new version of the Adobe Standard Material definition with tons of new effects like displacement, subsurface scattering, dispersion, clear coat, sheen, anisotropy, and more.It is built with entire new infrastructure for modernizing techniques, improving performance and scaling to be available on more hardware. This engine is multi-technique, including both real time and ray tracing in a single engine. The rendering engine has been updated and reworked to the Adobe Mercury Rendering Engine.Dimension was more general purpose where Stager is specifically part of the new Substance 3D Collection which offers multiple applications for an end-to-end 3D workflow including modeling, texturing, and staging.

So what are some of the key differences between Dimension and Stager? Where Dimension was a general purpose application that was intended for those new to 3D to learn, Stager is a dedicated scene staging application that is more powerful for professional 3D artists while retaining it's approachability for those learning 3D.

Today we launched a new application - Adobe Substance 3D Stager! Stager is built by the same team that built Dimension with a shared foundation for some technology while also being a bit reimagined. It's been a little while since I've had an announcement for the community, but I'm very happy to be able to break the silence on some exciting news. Hi everyone! Jeanette here, lead product manager for Dimension.
