Vanishing Point Export Options have ... Vanished!

In the current (25.3.1) version of Photoshop (desktop), within the Vanishing Point pop-up window, the options that allow you to export this vanishing point data have seemingly disappeared. (For other users as well; this isn't an issue local to my system.)

These options are still present in Photoshop 24.7.2.

While this isn't the most modern feature, it is still very useful as a way to create and send 3d vanishing point data to After Effects (and obviously elsewhere, with the other formats), and there's no other way to recreate that functionality that I'm aware of.

The official Adobe write-up for Vanishing Point still references the ability to export this data, and I can't find any announcement about this being removed/depricated.

The menu in photoshop 2024 (ps ver 25.3.1) looks the same as

Photoshop CS6 Standard (non extended), which didn't have any 3D functions enabled.

Thanks @Ged_Traynor. I was aware other 3D features had been depricated, though it would have been nice to have them listed explicitly to make them searchable. If the feature is indeed gone intentionally (I agree with David that it's debatable this is actually a "3D" format), at the very least, Adobe needs to update the documentation to be current.

Vanishing Point predated Photoshop's 3D features that relied on OpenGL, although I don't know when the addition of .vpe export was added. It doesn't seem like the export of a data file that positions 2D planes in 3D space relies on OpenGL since nothing is being displayed inside PS.

I wouldn't really consider .vpe a 3D format, especially when this is all that's inside the .vpe file (see attached)
