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:

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.

I am replying to you but it goes to all of you complainers,
The update is amazing it takes the 3D offers by Adobe to the next level without extra charge.

while it still needs more features and fixes, it is a big step forward.

Working with 3D is a heavy task don't expect your Macbook or iMac with no dedicated graphic card and without "Ray Tracing" support to do this kind of work, Apple is no magic it is only OS with some eye candies.
instead of complaining work hard and invest $5,000 in a workstation to improve your income

With that said, Dimension still needs a lot of work to improve workflow, performance, and stability.

We should all be glad this program is back on the map and has ongoing development

Thank you

Hi @ZivoDesign - Appreciate your insights. I think the frustration with folks is more about the original intention of the app. When Dimension first hit the scene it was basically sold as "3D for the rest of us". Meaning graphic designers who's daily revolved around print and web design. A tool that would be easy to use without a huge learning curve and could be easily implemented into the work routine, Mac or otherwise (and be included in Creative Cloud no extra $$$). For the most part they delivered that. I know for myself it has been a wonderful asset and has actually helped generate revenue since we do a lot of package design. I have always been on the higher end iMacs and it has worked just fine with all the other apps I require daily. Render might be a little slow but for what I was able to create it was a minor trade off. It allowed us to go from creating pretty good 3Ds in PS to creating really nice realistic 3Ds in Dimension. My "work station" works for EVERYTHING we do...Package design, catalogs, web development and Dimension has always fit in nicely with all of that. I have a small company so a $5000 investment would be a $15,000 - $20,000 investment. Again, I think something has been lost in translation over the last few months. Substance is available for those who seek a more robust set of tools so why not let Dimension fill the need it always has?
