在Windows 10 Creators Update中，微软(Microsoft)决定加入一款名为Paint 3D的新应用。此应用程序与以前所有Windows操作系统中的经典Paint应用程序同名。(Paint)这是因为它希望与之前用于 2D图像绘制(image drawing)的应用程序一样简单。主要区别在于新应用程序以 3D 运行，尽管它同样简单。不仅如此，它也很有趣。以下是您可以使用Windows 10 中的新Paint 3D应用程序执行的几项操作：(Paint 3D)
注意：(NOTE:)本文是使用Windows 10 Creators Update创建的，从 2017 年春季开始，所有Windows 10用户都可以免费使用。2017 年之前发布的以前的(Windows 10)Windows 10版本没有此应用程序。
1. 创建二维对象
尽管Paint 3D是一款旨在为您提供创建 3D 图像的工具的应用程序，但这并不意味着它不包括用于绘制老式 2D 图片的工具。Paint 3D的任何创作都始于空白画布，您可以在其上绘制和绘制任何您喜欢的东西。2D 绘图和草图是通过使用工具(Tools )完成的- 在该部分中，您可以使用记号笔、书法笔、油刷、喷雾罐、橡皮擦(Marker, Calligraphy pen, Oil brush, Spray can, Eraser )等工具。根据您选择使用的工具，您可以选择颜色、样式、厚度或不透明度(thickness or opacity)等内容。
2. 创建 3D 对象
这是Paint 3D最重要的部分：可用的 3D 工具。您获得的工具并不复杂，应该足以让您开始创建 3D 图像和对象。该应用程序包括一些您可以玩的预定义 3D 模型：男人、女人、狗、猫、老鼠和鱼。此外，您可以使用可用的基本 3D 对象创建您想要的任何模型（取决于您的绘图天赋）：立方体、球体、圆柱体、胶囊、甜甜圈和圆锥体(doughnut and cone)。如果这还不够，您可以深入了解基础并为自己画一个3D 涂鸦(3D doodle)。哪一个(Which)实际上是您制作的 2D 绘图，可以为其添加深度或充气 - 就像枕头一样。这不完全是专业的东西，但肯定很有趣，孩子们一定会喜欢这个功能。🙂
3.用贴纸画物体
您创建的每个 3D 模型和 3D 对象都可以涂上贴纸。贴纸是可以“粘”到物体上并完全改变其外观的图纸或图案。在这种情况下，限制只是你的想象。看看上面的图片，然后看看这一段下面的图片：你不觉得猫模型(cat model)和彩虹贴纸(rainbow sticker)可以变成彩虹猫(Skittles cat)很有趣吗？🙂
4. 添加 3D 文本（也可以是 2D）
不能缺少添加文本的功能，因此Paint 3D也允许它。您可以以 2D 或 3D 形式编写文本，在这种情况下，您将能够使用所有可用于 3D 表单的 3D 控件。
您可以使用透视控件将文本移动、(perspective control)旋转和放置(rotate and place)在您想要的任何位置。
5. 为您的 3D 作品添加效果
Paint 3D还提供了一些照明效果，可以改变颜色在您的绘图和 3D 创作中的外观。例如，您可以让您的创作感觉(creation feel)像是阴天的一部分或(day or part)棉花糖世界(cotton candy world)的一部分。🙂
6. 分享您的 3D 作品
最后，由于社区和分享始终是人类生活的重要方面，您还可以通过将您的作品上传到名为Remix 3D(Remix 3D)的地方与他人分享您的创作（无论是否涂鸦）。作为回报，您还可以查看、下载和使用Paint 3D应用程序的其他用户的创作。不幸的是，在撰写本文时，此功能仅适用于少数几个国家：澳大利亚(Australia)、奥地利(Austria)、比利时(Belgium)、加拿大(Canada)、丹麦(Denmark)、德国(Germany)、爱尔兰(Ireland)、荷兰(Netherlands)、新西兰(New Zealand)、挪威(Norway)、瑞典(Sweden)、瑞士(Switzerland)、英国(United Kingdom)和美国(United) 。_ (States)希望这个列表很快就会增加，或者微软(Microsoft)将决定完全取消限制。
结论
Windows 10中的Paint 3D应用程序可能是将 3D 创作带给大众的第一次尝试。互联网上有类似的应用程序可用，但这是您第一次在默认情况下将此类应用程序内置到Windows中。我们怀疑它能否成功地将我们所有人都变成 3D 艺术家，但我们确信我们会在尝试中获得乐趣。此外，我们的孩子在使用他们的Windows(Windows)平板电脑和电脑时会获得更多乐趣。您如何看待Paint 3D应用程序？在下面分享您的观点。
6 things you can do with Paint 3D in Windows 10
Іn Windows 10 Сreatоrs Update, Microsoft decided to includе a new app called Paint 3D. This app that shares its name with the classic Paint application from all previous Windows operating systems. This is because it wants to be as simple as the previous application that was used for 2D image drawing. The main difference is that the new app works in 3D, although it's just as simple. Not only that but it is also fun. Here are a couple of things you can do with the new Paint 3D app in Windows 10:
NOTE: This article was created with Windows 10 Creators Update, which will be available to all Windows 10 users, for free, starting with the spring of 2017. Previous Windows 10 versions that were released before 2017 don't have this app.
1. Create 2D objects
Although Paint 3D is an app designed to offer you tools for creating 3D images, that doesn't mean that it doesn't also include tools for painting good old-fashioned 2D pictures. Any creation from Paint 3D starts with a blank canvas, on which you can draw and paint anything you like. 2D drawings and sketches are done by using the Tools - a section in which you get access to tools like Marker, Calligraphy pen, Oil brush, Spray can, Eraser and so on. Depending on what tool you choose to use, you can select things like its color, its style, thickness or opacity.
2. Create 3D objects
This is the most important part of Paint 3D: the available 3D tools. The tools you get are not complicated and should be enough to get you started on creating 3D images and objects. The app includes a few predefined 3D models which you can play with: man, woman, dog, cat, mouse, and fish. Additionally, you can create any model you want (depending on your drawing talent) by using the basic 3D objects available: cube, sphere, cylinder, capsule, doughnut and cone. And if that's still not enough, you can go to the basics and draw yourself a 3D doodle. Which is actually a 2D drawing you make and can add depth to it, or inflate it - like a pillow. It's not exactly professional stuff, but surely is fun, and children will definitely love this feature. 🙂
3. Paint objects with stickers
Each 3D model and 3D object that you create can be painted with stickers. Stickers are drawings or patterns which you can "glue" to objects and change their appearance completely. In this case, the limit is only your imagination. Take a look at the image above and then at the one below this paragraph: don't you find it funny that a cat model and a rainbow sticker can turn into a Skittles cat? 🙂
4. Add 3D text (2D also)
The ability to add text couldn't be missing, so Paint 3D allows it too. You can either write text in 2D or in 3D, in which case you will be able to use all the 3D controls available for a 3D form.
You can move, rotate and place the text anywhere you'd like using the perspective control.
5. Add effects to your 3D creations
Paint 3D also offers a few lighting effects which can change the way colors look like on your drawings and 3D creations. For instance, you can make your creation feel like it's part of a cloudy day or part of a cotton candy world. 🙂
6. Share your 3D creations
Finally, as communities and sharing are always important aspects of human life, you also get to share your creations - doodles or not - with others, by uploading yours to a place called Remix 3D. And, in return, you can also see, download and use the creations of other users of the Paint 3D app. Unfortunately, this feature is available only for a few countries, at the moment when this article was written: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States. Hopefully, this list will grow soon, or Microsoft will decide to remove the restriction altogether.
Conclusion
The Paint 3D app from Windows 10 is probably the first attempt to bring 3D creation to the masses. There are similar apps available on the internet, but it's the first time when you get such an app built into Windows, by default. We doubt that it will succeed in turning all of us into 3D artists, but we're sure that we'll have fun trying. Also, our children will have even more fun when using their Windows tablets and computers. What do you think about the Paint 3D app? Share your perspective below.
