- Use Adobe Aero on your iPhone/iPad or desktop to create a multi-part 3d version of your Illustration in augmented reality.
- In class I showed you how to export your PSD for Aero. You might want to export all the parts separately and composite them in Aero by hand this week.
- You might want to export your whole PSD as layers or you might want to export each layer separately (move them into independent files) and recompose in Aero.
- Adding animation is optional, if you are interested you can add animated assets in Adobe Aero.
- Once your Aero project is complete you can share it with the class as a link or QR code.
- You can also record a movie of your AR file from within Aero mobile if you want to share that.
