Dimension is no longer Available

[dand59655634]

Substance has been announced and according to the post this would not affect Dimension, however I could not update my Dimension (I used it 1 day ago and it was fine) and had to uninstall to re-install the app...and it has totally disappeared from Creative Cloud which states it is no longer available.

Has Dimension been discontinued out of nowhere for Substance (which isn't included in CC plans) or is there something wrong with the app?

Dimension is now NOT included with the Creative Cloud All Apps. I'm pretty unhappy that I got the All Apps subscriptions, and now Adobe wants me to pay extra $$$ for 3d. I just needed a simple 3d program

Hi, INFO UPDATE:  Apparently Adobe's quietly working on Dimension compatibility.  I'm on an M1 mac, and DIMENSION CAN BE DOWNLOADED ON APPLE SILICON NOW/shows up in the Creative Cloud apps list.

When I downloaded, pop-up info said that Adobe was currently working on a version specifically for Apple Silicon, but that the Intel version of Dimension should now work on Apple Silicon.  

Guessing Dimension was put in the critical care unit after 3D functionality was pulled from photoshop (citing modern processor compability issues), reviving Dimension as their free solution for 3D text (?)

Cheers

Thanks, yes selecting 'Show older apps' works - although I am not using an M1 Mac, I'm on a 2015 Intel iMac.

I teach package design and Dimensions was a life saver during Covid. I can't ask students to spend more money on software than they already spend on creative cloud.

It's a shame you aren't keeping Dimensions around, as it would probably get you more Substance subscribers AFTER they graduate and have extra income.

Looks like we will be pivoting back to free PSD mockups now.

As far as I know it's not been officially confirmed they are discontinuing Dimension? I hope not because a basic 3d package is a great fit with Creative Cloud/Photoshop, and a good introduction / tease for Substance 3D, which otherwise you might not even know about.

Dimension is NOT end of lifed!  It is still available as part of Creative Cloud All Apps and is a supported apps.

How come it has been hidden from the main app catalog and put in the 'older app' archive? 

[JMathews]

Dimension is still available as part of Creative Cloud All Apps and that will remain so for the immediate future.  I can never promise forever, but if it is end of lifed that would be an official announcement.  It is still supported and available today.

Thanks for the clarification Jeanette. I must admit I got a bit worried when I tried to download Dimension on my Windows laptop (Surface Book 2) and noticed it was also hidden on under "old apps" in Creative Cloud on Windows.

Dimensions refused to install, it said my OS was too old,  It said i needed OS 10.12 but i have 10.14.  Would really like to use it. Any suggestions? Thank 🙂

Workaround for Education Users: just log out, than login with a new account (e.g. via google), install dimensions, than login again with education account 😉

Real scummy move by Adobe.  They kill all 3d features of Photoshop, only a matter of time before they kill dimension since it's listed as Discontinued.  Now they want more money for a new subscription we will all learn and they will kill that too.

Well you know they want people to buy Stager...

[whistlerpro21]

They have added some pretty neat dimension-like 3D features to the new release of Illustrator. So I wouldn't be too pessimistic.
