Adobe integrated 3D Gaussian Splatting into the Text-to-3D workspace of Substance 3D Viewer, alongside traditional mesh outputs. Adobe stopped supporting Substance 3D Viewer and offering it for installation on October 16, 2025. The feature builds on Firefly's 2D generative pipeline by producing multiple consistent views of a prompt and reconstructing them into a splat or a mesh in seconds, with the splat output preserving fuzzy and translucent surfaces (fur, foliage, glass) that are difficult to represent in conventional 3D.

The Text-to-3D feature was also offered as a Photoshop plugin, one of the first paths from Gaussian Splatting research into a mass market creative tool. Photoshop 27.6, released April 28, 2026, ships Rotate Object, which is built on SPZ and 3D Gaussian Splatting. It turns a flat object into a rotatable element with on canvas controls, renders the result at full resolution and blends it back into the composition with a Harmonize step. Niantic's SPZ 4 specification carries an Adobe vendor extension, 0xADBE0002, a Safe Orbit Camera extension that stores the orbital camera parameters Rotate Object uses, and Niantic said 800,000 SPZ files were created in Photoshop over two months. Adobe also showed Project New Depths, a radiance field editor built on Gaussian splatting, as a Sneak at Adobe MAX in 2025.
