Windows 10: What happened to all the 3d models that the Photos app had available to use?

Last time I used windows photos I had access to way more 3d models. I only have access to official ones now. Before I could search things like 'Shrek' and find 3d models of shrek. I'm assuming that those were unofficial 3d models. Is there any way to get access to them again or import my own models?

3d model saving

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

When you save a file in PowerPoint, the extension of file would be
.ppt and the file would not be compatible for apps like 3D builder. So we would suggest you to refer to articles mentioned below for more details.

1. 3D in Windows 10 (Under the section
   Get Started).
   
2. Get creative with 3Dmodels.
   

Hope it helps

3D Models from Paint 3D appear weirdly textured and glitchy.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand your concern as the texture of the model is changing that you are creating in Paint 3D app.

In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type winver in Windows search/Run command)
• What is the Paint 3D app version currently installed on the PC?
• Did you try saving the 3D model in a different format?
• What happens when you open the same 3D model in 3D Viewer or 3D Builder app?

Meanwhile, we would like you to reset the Paint 3D app and check if you have the same issue.

1. Press Windows + I key to launch Windows settings.
2. Click on Apps and select Apps & feature from the left pane.
3. Scroll down and select Paint 3D app on the right pane.
4. Click on Advanced option and then click on Reset.
5. Restart the PC and then launch the Paint 3D app.

Also try creating a 3D model in 3D builder and then check it on the Office PowerPoint app.

We await your response.
