What's "peripheral gaming" and what is Paint 3D's connection with "game design" and "general gameplay"? Also, this sentence looks like it is backed by four references, but actually none of them have any information about Paint3D and gaming / game design), and that sentence has been added much later than them (without any additional source or explanation): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Paint_3D&diff=prev&oldid=901473656

Paint 3D is a raster graphics and 3D computer graphics application which is a refresh of Microsoft Paint.[2] It is one of several 3D modeling and printing applications (formatted under 3MF) introduced or improved with the Windows 10 Creators Update, including View 3D, Windows Mixed Reality, Holograms, along with the CAD programs 3D Builder and 2D Builder.

Developed by Microsoft's Lift London studio,[3] Paint 3D incorporates features of the Microsoft Paint and 3D Builder applications to combine a lightweight hybrid 2D-3D editing experience that allows users to pull in a variety of shapes from the app, their personal computer, and Microsoft's OneDrive service.[4]

In August 2024, Microsoft announced that they are deprecating Paint 3D and will remove the app from the Microsoft Store on November 4 of the same year.[5]

History

[edit]

In May 2016, a leaked Universal Windows Platform version of Microsoft Paint was revealed with a new hybrid ribbon-sidebar interface and some support for 3D objects. Microsoft rolled out a dummy app called Newcastle through the Windows Store to replace installations of the leaked build.[6][7]

In October 2016, a user on Twitter leaked out official tutorial videos of an upcoming version of Paint for Windows 10. The video showcases new features such as a completely redone interface with pen input in mind, as well as the ability to create and modify basic 3D models.[8]

The Universal Windows Platform version was officially announced and released during a Surface event on October 26, 2016 as part of the keynote presentation on the Windows 10 Creators Update.[9] The app was made available for Windows 10 users with a build number of 14800 or higher and coexists with the previous version of Paint as of build 14955.[10] Microsoft revealed a community website[11] for sharing Paint drawings, with a focus on the new 3D formats. In addition to the 3D format, this update brought features like transparent pixels in 2D drawings, clip art stickers, and background removal. It also revamped the app's look with new icons and a blue-purple theme, and offered ways to share and import creations.

Paint 3D was briefly made a replacement to Microsoft Paint, in Windows builds 14971 and 14986.[12] However, due to complaints about the new interface and features missing in Paint 3D, the Windows team decided to allow the two apps to coexist.

Windows Insider chief Dona Sarkar confirmed that a Windows 10 Mobile version of Paint 3D has entered the alpha stage of development.[13][14][15] In the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update an updated version of Paint 3D was released in Windows Store.[16][17] It allowed users to directly Upload or Download models from Remix 3D.
