I’m hoping this is a feature that will be implemented sooner than later, but having the ability to bake lighting and ray traced textures on exported models within stager would be a game changer. Thanks Adobe

Isometric and Parallel Projection (no perspective distortions) camera views are a must-have!

It would be absolutely amazing if a turntable render feature could be added. Where you could select either 9 / 18 / 36 / 72 Frames and have the camera auto rotate around a center point of the object and render out each view.

This is very useful for interactive web development, for clients to view products in a viewport from various angles.

Currently there is no way to preview SBSAR materials in the library. Would be nice to be able to build a custom library of materials and not second guess grey balls.

It would be very interesting to have an option in the camera to leave only the wires on display, either with the function fully visible and hidden. Similar to other 3d programs. It helps a lot when you have a lot of assets or technical stuff. Thanks.

On MacPro 2019 with big On Macos on several renderings where there is the base material glass the final rendering at any level of detail always gives an incomplete result as you can see in the screenshot. In the example there are several elements with matter so do I use too much or is it the renderer?

Sometimes it's very handy (for example when placing objects) to have non perspective (camera) 2D views. Front, back left, right, top and bottom view can give a perfect view of the situation. Also for product and architectural images it can be very nice to render them in a non perspective view.

When set to 'select similar' the Magic Wand tool should select all the same material / color in the scene.
When importing an OBJ you get a long list of meshes, it would be great if there was a selection mode to select all meshes with the same color / material so they can easily be put in a folder and be materialized.
A select connected function (double click on a mesh) would also be nice to select meshes that are next to each other.

Vertex color
Vertex color is a RGBA value that can be applied to any vertex on a mesh. Traditionally, this is used to add diffuse or emissive color to geometry, but with the advent of more powerful game engines and more complex shaders, vertex color can be used to do amazing things!

In some cases for architecture rendering it could be a great help to shift the cameras view -without tilting the cam or changing the eye level. In other apps you can choose a bigger view but mask out only the wanted view to render (save render time). I made some pics to let you understand from a photographers side. Real estate and architecture)
Would appreciate it much!
Have a nice day

Stager is not available as a standalone subscription. Compared to animation and game development, the presentation of products and architecture is far more based on ‘standard’ materials and there is less need of painting, wear and tear and develop of new materials (Pt, Sa and Ds).
A Stager only subscription would be far more fitting for (small) product design & architecture studio's / freelancers and would be a welcome addition to the available subscriptions.

Unfortunately CAD import only seems available in an Enterprise Plan, this seems to conflict with (small) product design & architecture studio's and freelancers all in need for a good materialization and render program, whereas traditional 3D studio already work with programs having those functions (Cinema 4D, Blender, 3DS Max etc).
Off-course the Substance suite is big value for those studio’s too, but I would say (small) product design & architecture studio’s and freelancers have a bigger need for a program like Stager.

Im not looking to create a movie but it would most definitely be a welcomed feature to bring more life to pieces. simple camera movement along a rail or animated zoom, even animated bobbing and resizing of objects

to help organize personal assets

It would be great if I could save a custom render preset that overrides the camera size default, CPU threads and number of samples instead of having to manually type all those options every time I want to make a render.

Thank you.
