P: Photoshop 3D features are being removed

Why in the hell would you discontinue Photoshop 3D features?! You don't offer any other legit 3D program, therefore, this is a major mistake. Thanks for nothing.

I have been working with elements using the 3D options in photoshop for a long time and I find the argument that this option was slowing down photoshop dishonest because it was working perfectly until the last update this month which made it totally unusable.
You could have the honesty to say that you remove it to be able to sell your new pack especially for 3D and which is not included in the subscription of the CC. That you make evolve your tools it is comprehensible, but that it is done at the expense of the professional users who feed your business it is in my eyes a lack of respect.

Will the price of my "All Apps" subscription which doesn't include the Substance line be reduced along with the reduction in features? Or will the Substance line be included in my "ALLLLL Apps" Subscription at no extra cost?

I suspect neither and I see less and less reason to continue my subscription at all. I'm pretty sure I can get what I need from Affinity, Blender, Quixel and Da Vinci for a fraction of the price.

Spherical Panorama editing:

Affinity Photo has a working "Live Projection Equirectangular" spherical editing mode that seems well respected by many 360° photographers who found old PS 3D spherical edit mode slow and glitchy, it would be great if Adobe could make this work in Photoshop so we don't have to edit 360° panoramas in a different app

Thta's good news makes it less bloated and one less unecessary item in my menu.

Maybe more focus on what is necessary. 

Adobe: "Well, we are removing all the 3D features from Photoshop, but for $40 a month, you can get them back!" This is the worst business idea ever. You never fail to surprise me.

Is this because of Metal?

Hi, I don't have anything against having the 3D features in a seperate program. - I am mostly interested in learning how to create modern (fantasy) 3D raster logos (with special effects) without needing to move into "more intensive 3D software" like Blender and Maya... Is this something that the new line will support?

Hi there,

I have been buying and using mockup files to make product mockups of my cushion designs. These use images of rooms with 3D functions applied. This allows me to apply fabric designs to cushions in the images. I only use images that are real or look so real you almost can't tell the difference. I want the images to look as if my cushions are really in the image. I can't afford to have real product shots in real rooms yet.

If the 3D functions will no longer work in PS how do I get the same effect with the new apps? Can you use images in the same way? Ie do you warp the fabric design to follow the contours of the cushion and does the texture come through from the image of cushion fabric when you apply a fabric design? Or do you have to create a virtual 3D room from scratch?  I've seen some images from the new apps and they don't look real enough for my purpose. 

Also I've never actually created 3D effects, just used files that I bought and applied my designs.

Please can you advise?

Thankyou

This is so disappointing. The absence of the spherical pano will end my ability to work with a combination of photo and drawing! Hiding the tripod....no big deal ....but being able to move between spherical and flat painting and edits is crucial to my art. I really hope that Adobe will find a way to continue to support this process without strong-arming artists into purchasing additional software.
