Windows 10: New 3D View mode in Paint 3D improves ease and accuracy of editing

I'm just curious, how many members even use(not just tried, but use) Paint 3D and create 3D stuff?
I tried it and found it too hard, as I don't have a touch screen, pen, mixed reality glasses and controllers, or any other of the gadgets you need to get any real use out of it.
Using just a mouse and keyboard, makes this, totally useless to me, just some more Microsoft bloatware they force down our throats like Ink and Xbox(if you don't game).

At least with Blender, you can get away with mouse and keyboard, but it supposedly isn't as easy to use as Paint 3D, even with above said accessories.

Paint 3D cannot open STL files

Please update Paint 3D to be able to open STL files. View 3D *can* open them just fine.

When I open them in View 3D, and click the "Paint 3D" button, it gives this error message:

"We couldn't open Paint 3D. Wait a bit, then try again."

I did, and it keeps failing. So then, I manually go to Paint 3D, and open the file from there. In order to do that, I have to enter "*.*" as the filename, otherwise it won't pop up. The file types dropdown doesn't list STL files. But that's for good reason,
apparently, because Paint 3D says:

"Paint 3D can't read this file. It may be invalid, or in a format that we don't currently support."

So, recap:

1) The file is completely valid, because View 3D can open it just fine

2) Why can Paint 3D not open a file, while View 3D can?

3) Please add this functionality to paint 3D. It's an industry standard file type for 3D models.

This is on Windows 10.0.15063.

 

Problems converting Paint 3d to JPEG

Hi Kathleen,

We appreciate your earnest effort to reach out with Microsoft Community. Paint 3D, a spinoff of Microsoft Paint, is one of several applications introduced with the Windows 10 Creators Update and one of several 3D modeling applications introduced or improved
with the Windows 10 Creators Update. You were unable to convert the JPEG files to Paint 2D or 3D due to the compatibility of the file formats. You may learn about the Paint 3D for 2D feature by checking the articles below.

Feel free to post your query should you need assistance.

 

I use it to create tiles for the edgeTile app.
edgeTile is a replacement for oblytile in Windows 10.

... easy enough to fashion 2d and 3d text

 

Thanks for the input.*Smile

Maybe I could buy a pen and pad/tablet to connect to my pc(remoting it probably).
I'm not knocking Paint 3D, it's just I think many users won't have a use for it, as compared to the ones that will.
Of course if it wasn't included, I wouldn't know about it probably.

 

Hi,
Yep not the first time MS has used a shark for a demo of 3d paint *Smile
