To save your project as a 3D model in Paint 3D, you need to access the menu, choose the save option, and select the 3D Model format.
Saving Your Paint 3D Project as a 3D Model
When you've finished creating or editing your 3D scene or object in Paint 3D, saving it in a 3D format is essential if you want to use it in other 3D applications, viewers, or for 3D printing. Paint 3D makes this process straightforward.
Follow these simple steps to save your work:
Step 1: Access the Menu
Locate and click on the Menu button within the Paint 3D application. This is typically found in the top-left corner of the window.
Step 2: Choose "Save as"
From the dropdown menu that appears, select the "Save as" option. This indicates you want to save the current project in a specific format or under a new name, rather than just updating the existing file (which would be the "Save" option).
Step 3: Select "3D Model"
After selecting "Save as," you will be presented with different saving options. Choose 3D Model from the list of formats. This tells Paint 3D that you want to export your scene or object as a standard 3D file.
Step 4: Name Your File and Choose Location
Once you've selected "3D Model," a standard save dialog window will appear. Name your file and choose a save location on your computer where you want the 3D model file to be stored.
- Naming: Give your file a descriptive name so you can easily find it later.
- Location: Navigate to the folder where you want to save the file.
Step 5: Finalize the Save
After naming your file and selecting the destination folder, then click Save. Paint 3D will then process your project and export it as a 3D model file (commonly in .glb or .3mf format, depending on your settings or version).
Following these steps ensures your 3D creations are saved in a format compatible with other 3D software and platforms.
