Stager 3D 3.0 Beta Apple Silicon native support

Now, I know that Copilot being ChatGPT4-based, isn't always right. Still, when I asked it about native AS support for Stager 3D, it answered: "Adobe Substance 3D Stager’s version 3.0.0 (Beta), which includes native support for Apple Silicon, was released on March 18th, 20241. This update brought several new features and improvements, enhancing the overall functionality and user experience on Apple Silicon devices."

But the new version shows as being Intel on my MBP 16 M3Max. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but I still get "Intel" in Get Info.

Is Copilot wrong or am I missing something? Been waiting so long to finally see Stager 3D be native, so I hope it's a user error on my part.

@Till Krueger  I love how the link title literally hallucinates huge details that are not in any way in the actual link. I don't work for Adobe, but I can tell you that as a prerelease (pre-public beta) member, AND as an Apple silicone user, I have never seen anything about 3.0 having native Apple silicon support. It is unfortunate that copilot would get your hopes up.

Yeah, I had a feeling that it was trippin' the light fantastic on that one.

Otoh, 2 years (or has it been 3?) later, couldn't we expect Adobe to finally finish its transition of the Substance 3D suite to be native to AS? Progress with that whole suite seems to be excruciatingly slow, at least to me, but maybe I am just an impatient person (I don't think I am).

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up, and here's to hoping that it will happen soon!

    Nope, you are not impatient, at least in this. It has indeed been a long wait.
