Adobe Firefly introduces Text to 3D preview at Runway Summit

• Adobe Firefly showed a new Text to 3D preview at Runway's NYC summit, with an attendee video cycling through generated objects including a sneaker, planet, and helmet summit thread.
• Separate creator posts suggest Firefly is also becoming a layout-and-animation hub: Koldo Katz built a short film from generated characters and scenes inside Firefly, then used a Firefly Boards artboard as the visual brief for motion film workflow.
• In Koldo's demo, the key production step is compositing characters, props, and environments into one Firefly Boards scene before sending that board to a video model as reference artboard method.
• Another creator used Illustrator Turntable with Firefly Boards to mock up a cozy game concept, pointing to the same toolset being useful for game look-dev as well as short-form film work game concept.

The clearest new product signal is Firefly's Text to 3D preview, shown from the Runway summit floor in a short attendee clip summit thread. The video shows text-prompted 3D object generation rather than a static render pass, which pushes Firefly beyond its better-known image workflow and into fast concept modeling for product shots, props, and scene ideation 3D prompt reel.

Adobe has not detailed controls, export options, or model topology in the available posts, so the evidence here is limited to the summit preview itself rather than a documented public release.

Koldo's demo is less about a single feature than a reproducible pipeline. He generated every asset for an astronaut-on-an-alien-planet diner short inside Firefly, removed backgrounds, and assembled the shots with the Artboard function in Firefly Boards process post. That composed board then became the reference image for video generation, producing a finished animated scene without live action or outside editing in the posted example final animation.

A second creator used Firefly Boards with Illustrator Turntable to build a nostalgic side-scroller concept around a pet tortoise, complete with sprite-like assets, HUD elements, and a level mockup

. Together, the two posts make the same point: Firefly Boards is emerging as a previsualization layer for both film scenes and game look-dev, where the composition itself becomes the handoff to later animation or production steps Boards step.
