Paint 3D models for download, files in 3ds, max, c4d, maya, blend, obj, fbx with low poly, animated, rigged, game, and VR options. Paint 3D is a built-in creative application that comes free with Windows 10. It is designed to be simple yet powerful by allowing you to create professional or fun creative projects by easily combining 2D and 3D tools. The best part is that you don’t need any design experience – Paint 3D can.
Paint 3D is fairly straightforward when it comes to opening images, and the painting tools are easily accessible and simple to customize before using.
When you insert a picture, whether it be a 2D photo or a 3D model, you're given the flexibility to immediately use it with the current canvas that you already have open. This is different than opening the file normally, which will start you with a new, separate canvas.
Once you have the objects you want on your canvas, you can use the built-in brushes and other painting utensils to paint directly onto your models.
You can insert 2D images that you want to convert into 3D (or remain in 2D), as well as insert already-made 3D models either from your own computer or from Remix 3D.
Insert Local 2D or 3D Images
Access the Menu button from the top left of Paint 3D.
Choose Insert.
Select the file that you want to be imported into the canvas you currently have open.
Click or tap the Open button.
You can import lots of file types this way, both 2D pictures in the PNG, JPG, JFIF, GIF, TIF/TIFF, and ICO format; as well as 3D models in the 3MF, FBX, STL, PLY, OBJ, and GLB file format.
Insert Online 3D Models
Choose the Remix 3D button from the top menu in Paint 3D.
Search or browse for the 3D object you want to use.
Tap or click it to immediately import it onto your canvas.
How to Paint 3D Models With Paint 3D
All of Paint 3D's brushes and corresponding options are available through the Art tools icon from the menu at the top of the program. This is how you paint onto anything in Paint 3D; whether you're filling in the lines of your 2D image or adding a splash of color to a 3D object you've built.

As you zoom up to a 3D image, it's only natural for parts of it to be hidden or not easily accessible. You can use the 3D rotation button at the bottom of the canvas to paint the object in a 3D space.
You should choose the correct tool that serves the purpose you're after. Here's a description of each that might help you pick the right one for your scenario:
Marker: The marker has a uniform stroke everywhere it's used and has a clean, full look to it. It's similar to the pixel pen tool except that it will bleed parts of the color into nearby pixels for a softer approach. Neighboring pixels that are just out of reach are lightly colored.
Calligraphy pen: This tool works like you'd expect a calligraphy pen to work. Its effect is much like the marker's except that the thickness of the strokes change as you speed up and slow down the pen's movement.
Oil brush: The oil brush tool gives a true brush look. It has a 'thicker' and more pixelated effect that hides the background image much more than the marker.
Watercolor: Use the watercolor brush if you need an effect where the color should be faint over some areas but darker over others. It's really easy to darken the color of the watercolor brush by simply brushing over the same area more than once. It's similar to the spray can tool except that the edges aren't as soft.
Pixel pen: The pixel pen looks almost identical to the marker except that unlike the marker, the pixel pen colors the entirety of every pixel it reaches. This creates a very uniform look that doesn't bleed even a little into any other pixel, which in effect causes rigid edges but also makes it easier to quickly paint next to solid lines.
Pencil: The pencil is deal for a freehand look since it only spans between 5px and 10px.
Eraser: The eraser, despite its name, does not erase what you've already drawn so that parts of the model will return to a previous state (use History for that). Instead, the eraser tool removes every customization on the model while keeping the object intact, useful for starting from scratch without any designs or colors.
Crayon: The crayon makes a chalky, almost wet look. Edges are similar to the marker in that nearby pixels are partly opaque, but it's different within the lines because even the center of the strokes are not fully colored (unless you color over them multiple times).
Spray can: This tool is very much like the watercolor brush except that you can hold down in one place to fill the space with more color, much like a real spray can. Edges are soft like the marker.
Fill: The fill tool is a quick way to fill an area with color. Adjust the tolerance setting to determine how much of the image should be colored. A smaller value like 0% will only fill in color just a handful of pixels around where you choose, while something larger like 5% can fill a small area like a circle, and 100% will change the color of the entire object.
Tolerance and Opacity
All of the paint tools (except Fill) let you adjust the thickness of the brush so that you can control how many pixels should be colored at once. Some tools let you choose as small as a 1px area to color with each stroke.
Opacity explains the transparency level of the tool, where 0% is completely transparent. For example, if the opacity of the marker is set to 10%, it will be very light, while 100% will show its full color.
Matte, Gloss, and Metal Effects
Every art tool in Paint 3D can have a matte, gloss, dull metal, or polished metal texture effect.
The metal options are useful for things like a rusty or copper look. Matte provides a regular color effect while the gloss texture is a little darker and creates more of a shiny look.
Choosing a Color
On the side menu, below the texturing options, is where you select the color that the Paint 3D tool should use.
You can choose any of the pre-selected colors from the menu of 18 or pick a temporary current color by clicking or tapping the color bar. From there, you can define the color by its RGB or hex values.
Use the Eyedroppertool to pick a color from the canvas. This is an easy way to paint the same color as what already exists on the model when you're not sure which color was used.
To make your own custom colors to use later, choose the Add color plus sign below the colors. You can create up to six.
Paint 3D is the brand new Windows 10 app that everyone is raving out because of how easy Microsoft made it for non-professionals to create 3D objects by drawing or scanning. It is expected to be bundled with Windows 10 Creators Update, the next major release of Windows 10 which should become available in March 2017. Here is how you can get the official preview of the app.

Paint 3D is going to be a new Universal Windows Platform app and its user interface will be completely different from Classic Paint. It supports 3D objects and pen input. It comes with tools like markers, brushes, various art tools to help users create objects. The app has tools to transform 2D drawings into 3D objects.
If you would like to try out an early preview of the Paint 3D app, Microsoft offers an official way to test it. Here is what you have to do.
Install one of the builds which represent the 'Redstone 2' branch of Windows 10. These builds are a preview of the upcoming 'Creators Update'. The most recent build as of this writing is build 14955.

Unfortunately, there are a few limitations to the Paint 3D Preview version.
First of all, it is officially available only for users in USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. For other users, it is not yet displayed in the Windows Store. To bypass this limitation, you can change your region and location in the Control Panel.
Microsoft states 'DirectX 10 or greater' support in your system's GPU for better performance.
The application supports .fbx, .3mf, .stl, and .obj file types. FBX and OBJ are very popular 3D file formats, supported by many software packages. 3MF and STL are 3D printing file formats. Like the classic version, the new Paint 3D also supports most 2D image formats like .png, jpg, jpeg, jpe, jfif, bmp, dib, gif, tif, tiff and ico.
That's it. Tell us your impressions about the app in the comments.
