Adding effects in Paint 3D allows you to instantly change the look and feel of your creation. It's a simple process that can dramatically enhance your project.
Quick Steps to Apply Effects
Here’s how you can quickly add visual effects to your 3D Paint project:
- Select Effects: In the Paint 3D interface, find and select Effects. This option is typically found in the menu bar.
- Choose Your Effect: Once the Effects menu is open, select the effect you want on the menu.
Upon selecting an effect, it will instantly apply or filter over your painting, changing its overall appearance.
Adjusting Lighting
Beyond applying a filter, you can also modify the lighting of your scene within the Effects section. The reference mentions adjusting the light source:
- Reposition Lighting: You can select the sun around the Light wheel that appears and spin it around to reposition the lighting. This changes the direction from which light hits your 3D objects and the overall scene, affecting shadows and highlights.
Understanding Paint 3D Effects
Paint 3D offers a range of built-in effects, often referred to as filters. These filters apply a color overlay or style to your entire scene, giving it a specific mood or look, such as a warm tone, cool tone, or various atmospheric styles. Combining effects with lighting adjustments provides significant control over the visual presentation of your 3D artwork.
