To rotate an object in Paint 3D, you'll use the rotation arrows that appear when you select the 3D model or object you want to rotate.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Select the object: First, click on the 3D model or object you wish to rotate within the Paint 3D canvas.
-
Identify the rotation arrows: Once selected, you'll see movement arrows appear around the object. Each arrow corresponds to a different axis of rotation:
- Top Arrow: Rotates the object along the Z-axis (think of spinning it like a top).
- Right Arrow: Rotates the object along the X-axis (tilting it forward or backward).
- Bottom Arrow: Rotates the object along the Y-axis (panning it left or right).
-
Rotate the Object: Click and drag any of these arrows to rotate your object. You'll see the object move in real-time as you drag.
Remember that these rotations apply to 3D objects. If you're working with a flat, 2D image you've imported, you'll need to make it a 3D shape first using the "Make 3D" option. Then, you can use the rotation arrows as described above.
