With this, a computer user can create colorful new projects by adding 2D and 3D pictures. You don’t even need to have painting experience or design expertise to use this, which is very fun to use for anyone. Paint 3D comes with nine different brushes, and multiple 3D images to add excitement to the page. 3. How do I create a new painting, and how do I find where to add a 3D image? This is what you will see when first entering the site. First, you have the option to either Select "New" to create a new painting masterpiece, select "open" to open a previous file, or select "paste" to paste an older painting you saved to this new painting. You also have the option to watch the video on the new tube brush, and you have the option to check out the awesome new 3D collections. Options for the 3D images include: animals, space, dinosaurs, vinyl toys, and realistic looking objects! All you have to do to add an image to your canvas, is to simply double-click the image that you want, and it will upload shortly onto your page. Then, you can decide how big or small you want the image to be. 3 3. How do I control the images, and what type of paint brushes are offered? Here is an image of a wolf from the animals pack. From here, you can make him smaller, bigger, wider, or thinner. You can also have the option of turning the image sideways, or upside down depending on how I was feeling! This way, the image is totally controlled by you. Even though the image may look realistic and could jump off the page at any moment at you, you are the mastermind behind the image. You can control it in any way that you want! Now, we are on to the brushes. Paint 3D offers nine different types of ways to paint, and even has an eraser for mistakes! For the eraser, you can choose to thicken it so no matter how big your mistake is, you can easily fix it! Even for the brushes, you can thicken it so the paint goes on as thick as you would like it. Brushes include: a marker, a calligraphy pen, an oil brush, a watercolor brush, a pixel pen, a pencil, a crayon, a spray can, and a bucket of paint that allows you to fill in the entire background with that color you choose. In real life, you may not get the option to use all of these brushes to paint, and Paint 3D offers any type of brush that you can imagine! You don't have to worry to go out and buy these different brushes, they're already here for you. 4 4. What are the 2D shapes, and the creative stickers, and how do I use them? In the picture below, I chose to use a 4-point curve for this example. Other options for the 2D shape include: a line, a 3-point curve, a 5-point curve, a circle, a square,a check mark, an arrow, a moon, a banner, etc. You can even choose to add any of the shapes together, and have all the shapes on the page to create an explosion of creativity on your page. Now on to the creative stickers. Here, you can choose between different textures to add to your painting. You can either make the texture fill the whole page by enlarging the image, or just create a small picture of the texture. Textures include: bark, concrete, fur, gravel, hedge, marble, sand, and wood. You really can create a realistic-looking masterpiece with these options. Feel free to be as creative as you would like, without limitation. Remember, this painting is for you, and no one has to see it if you don't want them to. Feel free to be crazy and out there with this work of art! The texture I chose below is the "marble" texture as you can see here. The marble texture was chosen because it has a very magical appeal to it. I can expand the picture or make it smaller depending on how I want my painting to be. If I would like it to fill the entire page, I can do so by enlarging the image to fill the entire canvas. 5 5. How do I use Magic Select? If you decide to press in the right corner "magic select," this is what will appear. Here, you can crop the picture and make it look even more real than before. What it basically does is crop out the picture from the rest of the canvas. After sizing and cropping your image out, a "refine your cutout" option will appear. Here, you can either add or remove to your image. You may want to add a painting on the side of your image, and this option will allow it. You may also want to remove a tiny part of your image, so the remove option will allow that. Either way, try to be precise with your options so you can make the best artwork that you possibly can! 6. What all can I do with 3D text? If you would like your text to be 3D, simply press the "3D selection" option. This allows your text to become more realistic looking, and of course, 3D. This is good because sometimes you may want a louder-looking image, and this will definitely do the trick. 6 • Next, you can press the option "Effects" to discover all the different types of colors and effects you can add to the backdrop of your text. Here, I selected a grey color, and the effects did the rest! Under the "light wheel," you can move it to change the color to be darker, or lighter. If you move the wheel to the right, and to the top, it turns the color darker. If you turn the wheel to the left, and to the bottom, you can make the color lighter. • In the "canvas" option, you can either make the huge square around your text get bigger, or smaller. It allows you to crop the image. You can also rotate and flip the image to your liking. Another option allows you to make the canvas transparent, by simply turning on the "transparent canvas" option on. You can also choose whether or not to even show your canvas by pressing "show canvas," and deciding to turn it on or off. 7 7. What are the 3D library image options? Finally, here is the 3D library! Here, you can access many 3D images that look extremely realistic. From animals, to space, to dinosaurs, you choose which image will best fit your creation. Under each specific category, there can be up to 60 different options to choose from! For example, under the animals tab, there are 57 different options! That means that the sky is the limit on which animal to choose from! More options under the 3D library include: flowersMore and options plants, under best theof 3D library include: best of minecraft, cool cars, food and drinks, characters, etc. Under the characters tab, there are multiple characters to choose from including: drummer character, a mummy, a happy snowman, a cartoon tiger, and a football player in uniform. Under the cool cars tab, options of cars include: a Horizon baja car silver, a Traveler orange car, a Shift turner orange car, a Shift turner pink car, etc. Under food and drinks, some of the options include: Cabbage, Clam, a cup of coffee, Asparagus, etc. 8 More options: bugs, astrology, birds, 3D origami, office supplies, etc. Options under the bugs section include: a snail, a praying mantis, a mosquito, a millipede, a Ulysses butterfly, a trapdoor spider, a caterpillar, a grasshopper, etc. Option under the astrology tab include: Aries, Taurus, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Cancer, Pisces, Libra, Capricorn, Leo, Virgo, and a Gemini. Options under the Office Supplies section include: a desk calendar, a file folder with contents, a desk telephone, a mobile phone, paper, a paper clip, a printed document, an overdue bill, etc. As you can see, you are allowed to make your project as realistic as possible, and that's the best thing about Paint 3D! 8. Do the realistic images really look realistic? To add to my creation, I have chosen a cup of coffee! Wait time for a lot of these images to upload vary depending on how well your wifi is. For instance, it can take up to 20 seconds at the latest to upload. It will never take up to a minute long, so don't worry! All Paint 3D images will upload at a fast pace, and will be ready in no time! 9 Here is what the cup of coffee looks like on the canvas.
