Adobe Dimension 4.0 is now available!

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:

    Since using the new version I can no longer work at the same level as before!
    When I duplicate an element, for example a cube, that has a graphic (sticker) and I try to change the color of the cube of the duplicated element, the graphic (sticker) disappears when I Save. The same thing happens to 4 friends who use the same version of Adobe Dimensions

    I can't see a Food Bag, in new Dn 4.04.

    Also, I see few models are missing that used to be in Dn 3.11.4. If I install the older version and retrieve those models and save them to be use in Dn 4.04.

    Does anyone know if this works. In adobe illustrator I can design a bag of chips with mesh tool, but can't export .obj files?

    or maybe use Photoshop version 22.2, it is fully 3D capable.

    The new versions of Dimension simply do not work, every time I try to import a model or open a previously created file it freezes and stops working. It's frustrating not being able to work anymore.

    The files were created in version 3.4.11 and I had to go back to that version, working on a Mac Chip M3 Pro.

    Oh, I know... It's that gentle reminder for them... But if Apple Silicon was some AI gimmick, they would push it tomorrow.

    Unable to import an .OBJ file...the proper way to report this issue, according to the dialog that pops up is to simply describe the issue in this forum which I haven't been able to get an Adobe Employee to reply to...okay.

     

    I really don't want to put our company's IP or models that we've had to purchase on this public forum.

    Please add support for 3D mice, such as 3DConnexion. Even 3D printing slicers like BambuStudio support 3D mice, but Dimension does not.

    While I like some new features, the updated version of Dimension has made it extremely difficult to create a composed rendering with an image in the background. Adjusting the field of view, camera angle, and object position relative to the background used to be much easier, but now it’s significantly challenging and, in a way, impossible sometimes. PLEASE work on improving this!!!!
    I’d also really appreciate having a Shadow Catcher feature.
