Photoshop Beta removed 3D Normal Map Generator

Hey everyone! First post here. 
Weird question maybe, but am I the only one that was confused that Photoshop (Beta) removed the option to generate 3D Normal Maps within the software itself? I'm a 3D artist and used this function a lot, but I can't seem to find it anywhere anymore, after the software automatically updated last night. 
The path used to be: Filter => 3D => Generate Normal Map. It's not there anymore. Anyone who can help me solve this? 
Thank you all! 🙂

Hi. Adobe has announced plans to remove 3D tools from Photoshop multiple times so that it may have started.

Ah! I wasn't aware of that. It sucks haha! Generating normal maps within the same software as your designs/textures saved me a lot of time.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
