I've looked through many postings about using the 3D option in photoshop to create a 3D mesh. Hoever, in Dec 2024, with the latest version of photoshop, this option no longer exists. So is it possible at all to do this now in PHotoshop? Or do I have to use some other app ? If so, which one? I don't have substance 3D and its way too expensive for simple tasks like this. Any solution is appreciated.

Do i need to go back to an earlier version of photoshop? Can both versions reside on my desktop?

I need this for a 360 spherical panorama to send to adobe aero.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

if you want to retouch 360 panoramas
then you can consider the following plugins for photoshop

-flaxify2 (Windows&MacOs) - the transformation is not ideal, it is a bit expensive
-supercubic(Windows) - good transformation, only a little noticeable on a good monitor that the exposure changes

-panoflatten (Windows&MacOs) - high-quality interpolation integrated into photoshop itself, you can retouch any angle of the panorama

"Haha, you got me 😊 I guess I did sneak my own plugin into the list a bit too smoothly — but honestly, I just shared what I genuinely think works best."

even with the old 3D features the creation of 360° spherical panos wasn't really good, especially when it came to retouching the tripod / floor / nadir. using the current version without having this feature anymore you might think about a 3rd party solution. if you won't spend any money, you might have a look at hugin: https://hugin.sourceforge.io. very powerful with professional results, but pretty techy and with a certain learning curve. the industry standard is ptgui: https://ptgui.com/ - not really cheap, but this app can handle even problematic captures with absolutely professional results. it has the same roots as hugin, but is easier to handle.

@Smart Ears you can install version 22.2 from the Creative Cloud app and this can be installed alongside the current version
