Moving the 3D capabilities out of Photoshop and putting them behind a paywall is reprehensible.
This is precisely what Adobe has done. While, yes, these tools have been moved to Substance - Substance is an additional charge.
What's next? Are you going to move 3D layers out of After Effects to a new program which costs more?
Clearly Adobe is thinking of its shareholders, not its designers - more than ever before. A reminder to Adobe that you need the designers, who pay your subscription, to stay in business.
If anything like this happens again I am leaving and I will do my best to take as many of my fellow designers with me as I possibly can.
Please think about this, and share, as I'm sure Adobe will nuke this post asap.

You can still access the 3D features in the most recent version of Photoshop by going to Preferences > Technology Previews, deselecting “Deactivate Native Canvas,” and restarting Photoshop. If your computer has issues with 3D in 23.0.1, then revert to 22.2. Here's how to install an older version:
Install previous versions of your Creative Cloud apps
If you'd like more 3D features within the Creative Cloud and without going to Substance, you can also use Cinema 4D Lite, which is a free installation with After Effects if you're a Creative Cloud subscriber (as opposed to Photography Plan or single app subscriber).
