Hello everyone! I’m very happy to say we have not only gotten M1 Rosetta emulation working for Stager but were also able to quickly get it working on Dimension as well.

For anyone who is interested in early access to help us test this version of Dimension or Stager, please use this invitation link to down the build from our prerelease program:

https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/84B24C36-9306-4AC4-8D7F-5188FF267621/participate/8CD91A3E-C035-48AF-DFF8-3C0B03B87DA1

I want to apologize again for the extremely long wait on this topic, and thank you for your patience.

If you have any issues using the builds, please leave a comment on the prerelease program forums so we can track the issues!

If all goes well we will roll this out officially in September as new Dimension & Stager releases.

    I’ve spent the summer figuring out how to use Cinema 4D to do, in days and days, what I did in dimension in hours. That being said, je ne regrette rien! Glad to learn stuff, but awfully happy that Dimension is coming back, and super psyched to try Stager. Thanks for your hard work!

    Already download the prerelease Dimension, will test it by tomorrow, thanks for the update, it’s really a long wait.

    How do I get the test version of Dimension? The link originally took me to another forum, then stopped working.

    just bought a new Mac M1 to dive into adobe 3d programs and none are supported by my new Mac so I'm stuck with a computer and adobe subscription that does nothing . also the press release substance doesn't work on Mac m1

  • Jorge Colunga commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We are not asking to get something for free!!!!! We are paying a subscription!!!!!!! And dimension is part of this subscription!!!!

  • NOOSH K commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    i've already bought better computer to do some 3D and now I am not sure its worth it...

    Also I've switched to Affinity suite and their latest update (Affinity 1.10) is super fast on every device! This was performance update which adobe never does!

    I've already switched to blender and got my first 3 renders! I got amazing teacher on udemy. His name is Chris Plush. Also note that blender is super smooth on m1

    Jeanette, your last response answered most of the questions people are asking.

    Unfortunately, the response is buried in comments.

    You should consider pinning that post, or writing a post that explains the long timeframe. That there is work ahead, that people should not check the cc app and this forum daily.

    Bonus points: collect emails on to an m1 list to notify when either dimension or stager can be downloaded for M1. That would take the responsibility off users completely, they don’t have to check again and again.

    such a list could also be generated by asking the cc system about which users have downloaded and used Dimension, + have since set up cc on an M1.

    Hope this helps.

    Jeanette Matthews - It's been several weeks. Is there any news about M1 support for Dimension? Is it being worked on at all? Shall I give up hope?

  • Steve Hanff commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Honestly with the Stager / Dimension decision and no support for M1 I am thinking of moving to Blender.

    Blender at least is native ARM and free...
