Editing an object in Paint 3D primarily involves modifying its appearance by painting or applying textures and effects to its surface.
Painting and Applying Effects to Objects
To change the visual look of an object in Paint 3D, you will typically use the tools available in the right-side toolbar. This process allows you to add colors, patterns, and stylistic elements directly onto the 3D model.
Here's how you can edit an object using the brush and effects tools:
- Select Your Object: First, ensure the 3D object you wish to edit is selected in your workspace.
- Access the Brush Tools: Select the 'Brush' tool from the toolbar on the right side of the window. This opens a panel with various brush types suitable for painting on 3D surfaces.
- Choose Your Medium:
- Select a brush style: Choose from options like marker, calligraphy pen, spray can, oil brush, watercolor, or pixel pen, depending on the desired effect.
- Select a color: You can choose from a wide variety of colors provided in the palette or use the eyedropper tool to pick a color from your canvas.
- Adjust settings: Modify brush thickness and opacity as needed.
- Apply Effects (Optional): You can even use the 'Effects' option located near the brush tools to apply overall lighting, filters, or to access other options like adding textures or stickers to your model's surface.
- Paint or Apply: Just select the area you want to edit with your brush and apply your chosen color or texture by clicking and dragging on the object's surface. The color or texture will wrap around the 3D form.
Exploring Editing Options
Paint 3D offers several tools for altering the appearance of your objects.
- Brushes: Used for freehand painting, applying colors, and adding artistic strokes directly onto the model. Different brush types simulate various real-world mediums.
- Fill: Easily apply a solid color to an entire surface or area of your object.
- Effects: Change the lighting environment or apply filters that alter the overall look of your scene and objects within it.
- Stickers: Apply pre-made images, patterns, or custom textures as stickers onto the object's surface. This is useful for adding details like eyes, logos, or fabric patterns.
Using these tools allows you to customize the look of your 3D creations extensively, adding personality and detail.
