Imagine my surprise, then, when I found that creating 3D objects and dioramas is actually easier in Microsoft’s Paint 3D than drawing two-dimensional art in Microsoft’s legacy Paint app. Though it shares a name, Paint 3D isn’t really like the familiar Microsoft Paint app at all.

Paint 3D’s entire purpose is to create fun, cartoony 3D objects and scenes—and share them. A major part of Paint 3D’s appeal is the Remix 3D community, where you and other members can import, edit, then share digital objects and ideas. Another is the awesome Magic Select tool which functions as a free Photoshop-like editing tool for 2D and 3D content.

Remember the dioramas you made in elementary school?

That’s Paint 3D in a nutshell. Ets 2 Save Game Editor. Microsoft’s current version of Paint 3D ditches the somewhat confusing introduction it had before and tosses you right into the deep end. No worries—we’ve devised a better grand tour ourselves. Click the big New button and let’s dive in.

This could be an ocean background to a nautical scene. IDG / Mark Hachman The Paint 3D interface. In the background is the Canvas, with a simple cone protruding through it. Surrounding the cone is the interface to rotate and resize it. The Canvas, in fact, is the only 2D object in Paint 3D—it’s just a plane, with no actual depth.

This allows you to rotate the object to inspect it, but it should snap back to its original orientation once you’ve finished.
