For anyone it is a secret that one of the most iconic applications of Microsoft Windows is Paint , that application that we used in our school or in our artistic beginnings and although it has many limitations we could edit images or create small "works of art" with its integrated functionalities ..
Paint features
When we use Paint in Windows 10 we enjoy some functions and features such as:
- Artistic brushes in which we highlight color pencil, watercolor brush, marker, natural pencil, airbrush and more.
- Improvements in tools grouped in groups such as File, View or Start.
- Integration of numerous shapes such as line, circle, rectangle, up / down arrow or clouds to add a more special touch to each file.
- Option to modify the size of the image.
- Integration of the quick access bar.
- Enabling rules and gridlines.
- Option to save the files in PNG, JPEG, BMP or GIF formats.
Now, with the new editions of Windows 10, from Creators Update, Paint 3D has been integrated which, more than being an update of Paint, is a new application through which we can combine 2D and 3D techniques to develop professional elements with a greater level of features and functions integrated both locally and with the cloud and other design sites.
From its interface it will be possible to customize existing 3D models in the integrated 3D library or create 3D designs from scratch as needed..
It has basic tools such as brushes, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, 2D and 2D text options, 3D scene effects, digital canvas, Magic Select, 3D view mode, history slider and mixed reality. With this we will have a valuable application for this type of creation of multimedia files and remember that Paint 3D is linked to the 3D Remix community where it will be possible to import, edit or share our digital works so that other users have the possibility to see it.
Features Paint 3D
Some of the features of Paint 3D are:
- Integration of remix3d.com
- Multiple tools for the creation of 3D objects
- Integration with the traditional keyboard combination such as Ctrl + C (Copy), Ctrl + V (Paste) or Ctrl + X (Cut)
- Option to add a 3D effect to texts
- Integration of 2D stickers
- Option to use a mixed reality viewer in order to visualize the 3D model in a real world context.
