Facebook To Sell Oculus Medium to Adobe

Recently, Facebook decided to sell the 3D virtual reality sculpting tool Oculus Medium to Adobe.

What is nice is that Facebook managed this smoothly for Medium. 

According to an Oculus blog post, Medium will remain free for people with an Oculus VR system, with the promise that Adobe will bring “more features, improvements, and other developments” to Medium in 2020.

Sébastien Deguy, Adobe’s 3D and immersive content head stated that Medium will come hand in hand with Adobe’s existing Substance app for 3D texturing. He also hopes that the transition will maintain Medium’s existing community, which is especially important in VR.
