Adobe brought 3D Gaussian Splatting into the mainstream creative suite with the Text-to-3D feature in Substance 3D Viewer, powered by Firefly. Users generate Gaussian Splat or mesh outputs from a text prompt in seconds, then composite them inside Photoshop and the rest of the Substance 3D family.

Adobe integrated 3D Gaussian Splatting directly into Substance 3D Viewer's Text-to-3D workspace, available alongside traditional mesh outputs. 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 is also available as a Photoshop plugin, making this one of the first paths from Gaussian Splatting research into a mass-market creative tool. Splat outputs cannot currently be exported to most legacy 3D formats — they live inside the Substance 3D ecosystem.
