App Tour - Paint 3D Preview

 

This past week we learned during the #MicrosoftEvent in New York City that the next Feature Update for Windows 10 will be called the Creators Update.

Operating system level features that were shown off as part of this update, which is expected in Spring 2017, will soon be in the hands of Windows Insiders through the Fast Ring but anyone on the latest Fast ring build, 14955, can actually start with some 3D creation of their own.

The Paint 3D Preview was announced during Wednesday's keynote as a tool that will allow anyone on the Windows 10 Creators Update to be a creator and work with 3D. The demos also showed off a Windows 10 Mobile app that could scan a real world object into 3D that could then be used with Paint 3D - the process appeared very seamless.

Although that app was not released for use by Insiders, Paint Preview 3D can be downloaded by anyone on the Windows Insider Fast Ring.

In conjunction with the release of the Paint 3D Preview, Microsoft also opened up a new creative community called ReMix3D.com that will allow you to store and share your own 3D creations plus see those created by others. There are also hundreds and 3D objects available to give you a creative spark as you build your own 3D scenes.

I have even tried my hand at creating a little 3D and while I lack major artistic talent, it was very easy to make this scene in Paint 3D Preview:

Enjoy the Paint 3D Preview App Tour and let us know what you think of the program.

 

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
