3D Doodle brings a sense of fun to Paint 3D (We’ll get to decorating them in just a moment.) But there’s one other really nifty feature that Paint 3D offers, and that’s the 3D Doodle.
If you’re creative, assembling a scene with just a combination of primitive objects is simple enough. Don’t forget about this: It’s invaluable! Time Machine literally records almost every change you’ve made to the scene and allows you to scroll back through time, finding the place where it all went south. If you do mess up, Microsoft took one awesome feature from its OneNote UWP app: Replay, now called Time Machine. Microsoft’s handy “time machine” feature allows you to rewind time and save your bacon.ĭon’t despair, though. Expect a lot of trial and error to make things just so. Occasionally, objects seem to “stick” slightly when they’re aligned vertically, or touching another object, to help you out.
You’ll need to check along all three axes, rotating this and that to make sure everything looks sharp. You’ll quickly learn that the Select all button allows you to rotate your entire 3D scene as a whole, while multiselecting ( Ctrl-click) or grouping objects together (like your three-sphere snowman) is essential for keeping your scene or object organized.Ī large part of creating 3D objects or scenes, though, is simply making sure they’re all properly aligned. Objects don’t deform when pressed together, so you may end up with spheres inside spheres, overlapping one another and hopefully hidden from view. You’ll need to create at least three spheres, aligning them next to each other. Because there’s no real custom 3D object creator in Paint 3D, I took two “2.5D” trunks, joined them at 90 degrees to one another, then combined them with a torus and a sphere. IDG / Mark HachmanĬreating this tree wasn’t that intuitive. With two, you’ll need to start thinking about how they’re oriented relative to one another. With one 3D object in play, rotating it is no problem. You’ill quickly discover that you’ll be wrestling with Paint3D’s interface as much as anything else. (If you’re confused, clicking the question-mark-shaped help icon in the upper-left-hand corner will walk you through the process.) This allows you to rotate the object to inspect it, but it should snap back to its original orientation once you’ve finished. If you choose to paint it another color, you may see the Sphere icon appear afterwards.
The fourth (at the 9 o’clock position) will pull or push the cone closer to or away from you. Three of the handles will rotate the cone in space. When you release the button, a box will surround the object, with four circle-shaped handles. It’s a little confusing, but you’ll get the hang of it. Paint 3D assumes you’ll want to paint the Canvas first, then create 3D objects. Microsoft’s Paint 3D interface: Tools, 3D Objects, Stickers, Text, Canvas, and Effects.
