To "download" or save your 3D project from the Paint 3D application, you need to use the export function available within the app's menu. This process allows you to save your creative work as a file on your computer.
Think of exporting as the way to take your project out of the Paint 3D environment and save it so you can open it later, share it, or use it in other applications.
Steps to Export Your Paint 3D Project
Saving your project from Paint 3D is a straightforward process involving just a few clicks within the application interface.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Open Your Project: Make sure the 3D project you wish to save is open in the Paint 3D application.
- Access the Menu: Look for and click the Menu option within the Paint 3D app interface. This is typically located in the upper left corner.
- Select Export: From the options that appear in the Menu, choose Export file.
After selecting Export file, the application will prompt you to choose a location on your computer where you want to save your project, as well as the file format (like .glb or .fbx for 3D models, or image formats like .png or .jpeg if you're exporting a 2D view). Choose your desired settings and click Save.
This method is the standard way to save your 3D creation outside of the Paint 3D app itself, enabling you to "download" it to your storage.
