Take your designs to new dimensions.
With Project Neo and Illustrator, it’s easy to turn dimensional artwork into vectors — or the reverse. Create 3D designs in the intuitive Project Neo app, then directly export them to Illustrator as editable vectors. Or, import vectors from Illustrator that you can edit as 3D designs.
Go from volumetric to vector with ease.
Create comprehensive designs for clients that include dimensional and 2D versions. Use familiar tools and concepts such as shape building and anchor points to create 3D designs in Project Neo, then export them to Illustrator as vectors you can immediately start applying to logos, branding, and mockups. Or, import your vector designs from Illustrator and turn them into 3D variations.
Design custom 3D typography.
Project Neo is integrated with Adobe Fonts. Access over 30,000 typefaces and add them to your 3D designs. Extrude, light, blend, and position text to create custom typography for brand identities and beyond.
Create design variations quickly.
Use Scene to image to produce a new version of your 3D design. Simply enter a prompt to generate a new take on your original artwork. Quickly fill a storyboard with concept art for a client, all in your own unique style.
How to go from 3D to 2D — or 2D to 3D — with Project Neo (beta) and Illustrator.
Create complementary dimensional and vector designs using familiar tools.
- Open the Project Neo web app and start creating volumetric designs using familiar concepts such as shape building. To start editing a vector design, click the Import SVG button and select the Illustrator file you want to edit.
- Use the Properties panel to blend shapes together and make adjustments to elements such as color, shape, and more.
- Use Style effects to apply new looks to your design such as Realistic or Vector Art, and to adjust the outline color and thickness.
- Use the slide rule at the top of your workspace to change the perspective and shadows.
- To quickly create design variations based on your artwork, use Scene to image, located in the Contextual Task Bar.
- Once you’re ready to edit your artwork in Illustrator, set the Style of your design to either Vector Art or Pixelated.
- Use the Frame tool in the Contextual Task Bar to frame your design, making any adjustments to perspective or hiding any elements for a cleaner look before you export it.
- Click the Share button and select Send to Illustrator as vectors. Your design will automatically open inside Illustrator as a fully editable, scalable vector which you can immediately begin applying to branding, mockups, and more.

What are the main benefits of working in Project Neo (beta) over my existing workflow in Illustrator desktop?
Drawing dimensional shapes in the proper perspective requires painstaking visualization and manual calculations. With Project Neo, you can edit, alter, and rotate the shapes or lighting, efficiently produce numerous variations, and adjust perspectives and artistic styles in a non-destructive workflow using familiar tools and concepts like shape building. You can directly import and export SVG files in Project Neo so you can start a project as a 3D design and then open it in Illustrator as a fully scalable, editable vector, or you can create a project in Illustrator and then edit it as a 3D design.
You'll find more capabilities, like global lighting, booleans, 3D filters and styles, various angles of view and camera, effortless color highlights and shadows, the ability to extract vectors, and more in the Project Neo overview.
