Adobe Dimension (formerly Project Felix) is a 3D rendering and design software developed and published by Adobe Systems for macOS and Windows operating systems.[1]

It was founded as Project Felix on March 28, 2017, and became Dimension on October 18, 2017. Unlike other modeling programs such as SketchUp, models are not created in Dimension. Instead, it is a photo-based mockup editor where models, photos and textures need to be created in third-party software before being imported into Dimension. Once in Dimension, models and images can be composed into arrangements before being rendered to 2D photo realistic images.

Originally relying on the V-Ray rendering engine, in April 2019 Adobe switched to its own 3D rendering engine called Adobe Rendering Engine (ARE) with the release of Dimension CC2.2, and stated that support for external rendering engines may be considered in the future.[2]

Historically, Adobe had a similar program called Adobe Dimensions in 1993, which specialized in 3D-dimensional artwork. It only lasted a few years of support and had garnered lower sales compared to Illustrator/Photoshop, and it was discontinued quickly.

On June 23, 2021, Adobe released Adobe Substance 3D Stager which is part of the Adobe Substance 3D Collection and not included with the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription. Adobe Dimension is still available and included in the Creative Cloud All Apps plan. Adobe has committed to providing support for the original Dimension program.[3]
