GPU Rendering
Would be nice to use this with external GPU. My 2015 MBP with AMD Radeon is running fans so loud, it is hard to listen. And the speed of rendering is pretty slow.
Otherwise I definitely love the idea of 3D app for designers inclouded in CC. Just as handy, as Adobe Muse. Can't wait to see next versions.

Hey everyone! Today we announced the release of a new app – Adobe Substance 3D Stager.
Stager builds on the foundation of Dimension but has a completely reworked infrastructure and is built for pro audiences.
Stager incorporates Adobe Mercury Rendering Engine – with an entire new GPU backend for Vulkan APIs that is hardware agnostic. While the first release remains GPU rendering for NVIDIA cards only we are working with AMD for GPU support as well.
You can find more information about Stager here:

Completely disappointed in Adobe.
PS. Tried the new product that was discussed in the thread - it just doesn't work lol. Adobe as always "great job". Why try to sell a beta version? -

This isn't the point. The issue everyone has is that no matter how YOU at Adobe classify our work, Dimension still needs GPU support and if you built it for another app after we all voted for and we told years ago that it was being "worked on" - We should at least have access to it.
Also, I use 3DMax, C4D and VRAY when I want to work on 3D professionally. Why would I ever consider using an Adobe product instead?
All I think any of us really wanted was to cut down on the render time and put our GPUs to work since we all have them... As professional designers. Theres no way I'm replacing my industrial grade 3D workflows though.
I'm unsubscribing to this thread now since it's officially dead

I just want to note that Adobe is aware that the All Apps name and the fact that the Substance 3D Collection is a separate plan is a bit confusing.
Hundreds of people work on developing the 3D software at Adobe, so if we had included it in All Apps it would have triggered a price increase for All Apps. Because not everyone needs these tools, we felt it was better to keep them separate so you can subscribe to what you need. Any change in pricing and styling can be painful, so thank you for your patience, but our goal is to make payment more flexible to buy what you need when it comes to the pro 3D collection.
I did not mean to imply you are not professionals, apologies for that! I meant that Dimension was more general purpose - because when we were building it we were just 1 3D app at Adobe. Stager, on the other hand, is a pro staging tool focused just on staging that's been developed as part of an entire 3D ecosystem.
We didn't want to take Dimension away from everyone in All Apps so we decided to leave that there for everyone and make Stager a new app. We hope this provides a path for anyone to start learning and working in 3D with Dimension and upgrade to the 3D collection if they need a deeper and richer toolset!

Exactly this

I’ve been subscribed to this thread for years waiting for GPU support to come to dimensions. Now GPU support is being added… to a different app? That’s not included in CC?! WTaF!!"I guess we are not what they call Pro's...

James,
Im not mad.. im aggravated because its another money grab. there is no reason that the 3D apps are not included in the "Creative Cloud" all apps.. which are graphic apps..
they include dimensions... but.. not they are saying Dimensions is not a professional app... only their new apps are... So we are paying for a set of Professional apps but we dont get all the professional apps. -

CSWLud User1 - Incorrect, what about technical communication applications like FrameMaker, Presenter, Captive, Robohelp? these are available to individuals. The new rendering applications are extremely niche and are obviously aimed at specific use cases and requirements to replace existing rendering solutions and not a compliment to the Creative Cloud. I'm puzzled why you're so mad?

reply to James Lovell, no there are not apps not available unless you are talking about Enterprise type apps.. there are a few web services or assets that we need to subscribe to but an ALL app subscription should be an all app... we spend over 20K a year on adobe. either change the plan from ALL apps to a new plan called something like Main Apps or Most common etc... but when Adobe says we will have access to ALL apps, this is what we should have!!

Reply to CSWLud User1, Why are you so mad? There are loads of Adobe apps we don't get with CC 'all' apps.

In regards to the new Substance3D app.
I cannot believe Adobe has the NERVE to charge for this.. THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED in the All Apps plan... What does ALL APPS mean? apparently not what i means to us -

Michael, I set the downloading going from the web page. That then opened the CC desktop app, and presumably it did download the software somewhere. Some time later it then showed a message saying that the software was not available for Apple Silicon machines.

Jeanette, is Sg not included in the all apps Creative Cloud subscription? I don't even see it in the list of apps in Creative Cloud Desktop.

How do you think it makes sense now to accemble a powerful PC for rendering? Or is it better to use a cloud GPU service like AWS , vast.ai or https://puzl.ee/gpu-cloud? Who has some cloud service usage experience?

Try the old V443 drivers... That tends to fix it

I have a new PC with an Nvidia RTX 2070 Super. Is this not compatible with GPU rendering? Why doesn't it show up an option in Dimension preferences?

I have recently bought a high end laptop, i opened Dimension and it said my graphics card was suitable for GPU rendering, Dimension allowed me to use it for a couple of renders then it came up with an error and now I can only use CPU rendeirng, this is really frustrating, when will this error be fixed?

I used to see GPU rendering on my PC with Nvidia GTX 1080ti, but now the feature is gone. I am on the most current version of this program (July 15 2020) Why is this option no longer available
