Hello everyone! Adobe Dimension 4.0 is now available for download from Creative Cloud!

Adobe Dimension 4.0 is being updated to incorporate some of the same underlying code components as Adobe Substance 3D Stager, particularly in areas like rendering, lighting, and material handling. This update puts Dimension on a more modern and maintainable codebase, ensuring the application is more stable and secure for users. Consequently, users will see some changes in the software – most notably in rendering capabilities and material workflow, as well as minor functionality and quality improvements throughout the application.

Here is an FAQ with more details on the changes:

We use Dimension for A LOT of projects. We do a lot of package design and Dimension is a VERY VERY CRITICAL part of our work flow. And quite frankly our cash flow. Because of this I’ve been afraid to update anything on my Mac for fear that it would disrupt our use of Dimension. We haven’t even updated our OS for fear it would disrupt DN. That’s how important it is to us. However that is creating issues with other apps. Right now we are running the following:
Dimension 3.4.11 - It works great!
iMac - Apple M3
MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1 - That is getting old.

I’m very worried about updating our OS but feel like I really need to soon. Any advice would be very helpful.

Hi,
Are you guys planning to keep supporting and developing Dimension (which is by the way FANTASTIC app for many of us - working between 2D and 3D design) for MacOS with Apple Silicon ?
Recently with the new macos update, I received notification, that Apple is suspending support for Rosetta from the next major MacOS release (I think 27). Meaning, it would be no longer possible to use Dimension on Apple Silicon..
Please let us know since this is a serious matter for many people.

Why, why would anyone download this when with every update the program gets worse? Adobe took something that worked fine on launch, and just like they do with every other freaking product they made it less functional. I mean honestly, stop making stuff suck. Please.

Unfortunately, I just updated my Dimensions from v 3 something to this latest v 4.1.8. So much is wrong with this application now. You guys truly ruined a nice application where I could generate comps for the 3D artist to render out. I can no longer export layer PSDs and the interface is terrible UI/UX comparatively.

Hi, I'm Michele. I'm teacher in Academy of Design in MIlan, Italy. Last week during an excerzise with DN it was happen a curious fact. Despite on my Mac a simple sphere shape had a shadow under it, on some computer of my students it wasn't there. I had controll window enviroment > land > shadow opacity but with my surpraise the level was 100%. It was already happened with an other excercise: put a golf ball on a grass filed and after choosed "like image", it was created a right prospective, light but the shadow under the ball wasn't ther. On my viewport instead was right. Could you give more information to manage this controls? Tks a lot.

What is driving the decision to eliminate libraries? This is hugely disruptive to our workflow and has a bunch of implications for how we use and purchase stock assets - particularly the ones that we purchase through an Adobe stock plan.

Hi! I´m experiencing problems with opening some of my more heavy files. The canvas is just black and i don´t see any of the folders on the right side. Any suggestions?

Hi! May someone assist with how I can fix or manipulate the white or gray dogs I'm receiving around my shows post render?

Also, it'll be great to have a static image option under material properties. Images warp after transforming the converted objects.

I have posted this before, but you could try using an older version of Photoshop 22.2.0 it has the last fully functional 3D tools and then save it back and try to open in Dn 4.1 let me know.

Everything grinds to a halt when running this version. Our machines are not that old (specs below) so we tried to look for the system requirements for running Dimensions but the page is blank, https://helpx.adobe.com/dimension/system-requirements.html:

Glad we can still run older versions that run much smoother. Adobe products are becoming increasingly frustrating to use.

For context, we're trying to open previous files from older versions but even just launching the app and trying to interact with the interface is painfully slow
