The 'future of design is 3D' says new Adobe skills report


The need to learn 3D software has been growing for a few years now, as once complex apps like Blender and Cinema 4D become streamlined and easier to use. A new survey from Adobe suggests more than ever, the 'future of design is 3D'.

It can be daunting to think you'll need to compliment your Illustrator or Photoshop skills with mastering Adobe Substance or ZBrush, but the new Adobe 3D Skills Report suggests mastering 3D skills will be essential in the coming years. If you need some training, read our roundup of the best Blender tutorials and take a look at our Cinema 4D review, one of the best 3D software platforms around.

So, let's dig into some of the results from the Adobe 3D Skills Report. The report has been written by It’s Nice That in partnership with Adobe, and over 90 designers across Europe took part to gauge if 3D art is emerging from being a niche and complex skillset into something everyone can grasp. (Hint: it is and has been for a while.)



The big takeaway is 97% of the creatives questioned expect to see demand for 3D skills increase in the future. More so, 57% stated that it will be necessary for all designers to have 3D skills to land the best jobs. Finally, 69% of those questioned in the survey believe generalist agencies and small studios will demand 3D skills, and they'll bring this in-house.So what's going on? While it's obvious that industries such as video games, VFX and animation will always need 3D artists it's also very likely that every other industry will also seek creatives with 3D skills. Whether it's the fashion industry or the graphic design world as well as web design and illustration, 3D art skills will be in demand.
