[Music] hey everyone kevin here today i want to show you how you can use paint 3d to create 3d objects and also scenes if you’ve never heard of it before chances are you already have it paint 3d comes for free together with windows 10. it’s kind of like the program blender but it’s a lot more simplistic and simplicity isn’t necessarily a bad thing anyone can sit down and you can start creating in fact i was able to create this 3d scene with these chocolate chip cookies sitting on the baking sheet and yes there is now kevin cookie company official branded milk now available once you’re done creating your 3d object you can print out a 3d object you can create a video of it you can even bring it into microsoft powerpoint so you can add a little bit of 3d rotation between slides i’m going to show you how you can do all of this step by step by the end of this video you’ll know all of the fundamentals of using paint 3d alright well let’s jump on the pc and let’s start creating here i am now on my pc and to launch paint 3d head down to your taskbar and simply type in paint 3d you should see it appear as the best match let’s click on that this drops us into paint 3d and by default we land on the welcome screen up here in the top left hand corner we can kick off our very own new project and in a moment we’ll do this down below you can open up an existing project or you could open 2d or 3d files there are some tutorial videos you can also browse a 3d collection but once again we want to start creating so let’s go to the top left hand corner and click on new this drops us into a blank canvas in paint 3d across the top i have categories of all of these different tools and throughout this tutorial we’re going to go through each one of these to see what they do each one of these different categories has some associated tools over in the pane on the right hand side and once again as we go through these different categories you’ll start to see what these different tools are and when you can use them if you want to follow along in this tutorial today feel free to do that it’s going to be step by step so you can also create the same scene i’m going to create the scene that we saw in the introduction i’m going to create a baking sheet with some cookies and then also the container of milk so if you want to follow along you’ll be able to create that exact same scene first i want to start by creating my cookie and i want to use a reference picture of a cookie to help me create this 3d object i’m going to move paint 3d over to the side and here on my desktop i have a basic picture of a cookie it’s just a jpeg and i’ll drag it over into paint 3d you can find any photo of a cookie online and you can use that as a reference photo the only reason i brought this in is i want to make sure i get some of the texturing and also the coloring as i build out my 3d cookie now that i have a reference photo in paint 3d i want to start creating a 3d shape or basically a 3d cookie so if i look up here at all of these different controls there’s one called 3d shapes let’s click on this one when i click on 3d shapes this opens up a pane over on the right hand side where i have all sorts of different shapes that i can use there’s a 3d library i could also use 3d doodling so here i can draw out my own 3d shape and here i see some preset 3d objects that i can just insert down below there are also some 3d models and at the very bottom i can also set a color now i want to insert an object that looks like a cookie but first i want to select a color that kind of looks like a chocolate chip cookie right down here i have an eyedropper i’ll click on that and then i’ll take it over to my reference photo and right here in the middle this brown is really like a chocolate chip cookie so i’ll select that one and here now you see the brown color is set now up above once again i have all these 3d objects and this one right here called hemisphere it looks kind of like a cookie i’ll click on this one and then go over to the canvas and now i can draw my shape so here you can kind of see a cookie taking shape now if i drag down you can see that it pulls the hemisphere down but that doesn’t really look like a cookie so i’m not going to go that far down i want it to be just about there that looks like a nice cookie shape once i release the shape you see all these different controls appear around it and these allow me to rotate and adjust the shape in the 3d environment so here for example if i click here here i can adjust the x-axis i could also go to the bottom and this allows me to adjust the y-axis and here at the top i can adjust the z-axis so this allows me to just rotate my objects in this 3d environment also over on the left-hand side here i can adjust the z-axis position so when i click on that i could pull it forward or here i could push it back there now it’s behind the canvas so i’ll just pull it up and leave it here now right up in the top right hand corner let’s say i make changes to one of these shapes and i didn’t really mean to do that i can go up to the top and i can click on history and here i could go back to the very beginning if i go back to the beginning or i could just go back a little bit now i want to go back right to here before i started moving the shape around now if i click down i have my shape on the canvas to start building my chocolate chip cookie i want to build it in a way where i can match it to this photo so once again i’ll click on the cookie and here i’m going to adjust the x rotation and i’ll adjust it to 90 degrees so this is a top-down view of my cookie and here i’ll pull it over to the side and i’ll keep it right over here so i can see the photo of the cookie right alongside my 3d object i want my cookie to look like this photo and to do that i want to paint on the cookie right up here where we have all of our tools once again these are the different tool categories there’s one called brushes let’s click into this one once we click into brushes this opens up a pane over on the right hand side with all of the different brush tools first i want the edges of my 3d cookie to match the photo and you can see here on the cookie the edges are a little bit darker than the center here the browns just a tiny bit darker just like we did before for the color i’ll click over on this eyedropper and then i’ll go over and i’ll select this darker brown color here now you see i have this darker brown color selected now right up here i have all of these different brush tools i’m going to click on the spray can when i select the spray can here i can choose the size or the thickness and right down here i could also set the opacity i’m going to leave these set to the default i think they’re fine for now now i can go around my cookie and i can start darkening the edges so here it’s going to look like this cookie that was cooked just the perfect amount of time so i’ll just kind of brush in this color as i go around also if you notice the photo there are some darker spots on the cookie so here i’ll just add a few nice little dark colors to my cookies so here you see it starts to add a little bit more texturing also on the cookie itself there are also some lighter spots on the cookie and i want to make sure that my 3d cookie reflects that once again i’ll go down to the eyedropper and let me select this lighter shade right here and then once again also using the spray can here i’ll i’ll sprinkle in some of these lighter shades onto my cookie so once again this all kind of adds to that texture of the cookie this is starting to look pretty good as i’m painting my shape one thing you’ll notice is this icon appears on the bottom and this is the free rotation handle if i click on this i can once again rotate my shape in any direction you’ll see that the bottom is untouched i haven’t been painting that but that’s fine this is going to be sitting on a baking sheet so it doesn’t matter what the bottom looks like for now we’ll just focus on the top of the cookie i’m going to undo this just so it gets back to the default orientation so far we have a nice sugar cookie but we want to make sure that there are some chocolate chips in this cookie so once again we need to add some more 3d shapes let’s go to the top bar and click on 3d shapes once again this opens the 3d shapes pane and we have all the different objects that we can insert this time i want to use a 3d doodle and there are a few different types of doodles that we can insert feel free to play around with these to see how they work now i want to insert the tube brush so i’ll select this first option right down here i can choose the shape of the tube and there are a whole bunch of different options but i just want to go with this first one which is called the capsule right here i can choose the thickness i’m going to leave it set to the 60 pixels and right down here i can choose the taper so here you could have none here i could have it go from big to small here you can have it go from small to big for chocolate chip i want it to be big to small if you’ve ever seen a chocolate chip and we can even see right here in the picture the base is a little bit bigger than the top so i think this big to small will be perfect now right now i have my color set to the cookie color and i don’t want that color i want it to match the color of this chocolate chip so once again let’s go down to the color picker and i’ll go over here and choose this nice delicious looking chocolate brown so now i have that color selected i have my tool selected and now i can draw my chocolate chip to draw the chocolate chip i’ll simply click on the screen and then pull upwards and then i’ll release so it’s pretty quick and easy i’ll click on this check mark and i’m satisfied with that here you see this kind of looks like a chocolate chip it has that bigger base and then it kind of gets smaller near the top now just like with all 3d objects once again i have access to all of these different tools so here i can rotate my chocolate chip now i want to place the chocolate chip on this cookie and you’ll see that right now this is the top down view of the cookie so i want to make sure that my chocolate chip is also in the top down view position so here i’ll press the shift key and this allows me to really get it to the precise degrees so here you’ll see by default it was at 90 degrees but here if i press shift here i’ll click on the rotation tool and then i’ll rotate right until i hit 90 degrees so that’s going to match the 90 degrees of the cookie so here now i have my chocolate chip and i can pull it over onto my cookie now i’m not quite sure if it’s on the cookie right now to check the view i can go up here to the top and click on the 3d view let’s click on this to toggle to the 3d view the chocolate chip looks like it’s on there pretty nicely but let’s go back to the previous view right here i can click on the z access position so here i can move the chocolate chip back so here it’s behind the cookie and here i could pull it forward so it just pops through the cookie now i want it to be really integrated into the cookie so here i’ll place it right about there so it’s just popping out of the cookie now this wouldn’t be a very good chocolate chip cookie if i only had one chocolate chip so i’m going to copy this i’ll simply click this object press ctrl c and then i can press ctrl v and that gives me another chocolate chip and here i can move this to a different position of my cookie now here it’s sticking out a little bit more because remember the cookie goes down towards the edges so here i’ll adjust the position and let me move this back just a tiny bit and here i could even adjust the rotation just a tiny bit just so it’s popping out over there now i’m going to go through and i’ll copy and paste even more cookies or chocolate chips so here i’ll copy another one and let me move it right about there and i’ll do this a bunch of times so we have a bunch of chocolate on this cookie i’ve now added a whole bunch of chocolate chips to my cookie and as i was placing them i would click on them and i’d rotate them a little bit depending on which side of the cookie they were on here kind of tapers down towards the edge over here so here i rotated it so it would point in the same direction now i have all of my chocolate chips on the cookie but the coloring doesn’t really look that good if we look over at these chocolate chips you’ll notice there’s a little bit of lighting hitting these chocolate chips and i want something similar on mine so once again just like we did before to add this different coloring to the cookie let’s go back over to brushes up on the top and right over here once again we have all these different tools and i’m going to click on this one called watercolor and i want to apply this white lighting to all of my chocolate chips so here i’ll go down to the color picker and let me choose this lighter shade right there now with the watercolor tool selected here i can paint on but right now by default the thickness is a little bigger than i want it so i’m going to reduce this down so just a nice small little shape and here now i can apply some coloring so look at that it looks like there’s light hitting that chocolate chip right in that position i’ll go through and i’ll color my different chocolate chips and feel free to do the same all right this chocolate chip cookie is starting to look pretty good to me next i want to create multiple chocolate chip cookies so to select this whole cookie let’s go back up to the top and click on 3d shapes now that i’m on the 3d shapes view i can highlight this cookie so here i’ll select the entire thing now right now each individual item within this cookie is its own separate object so all of these chocolate chips are an object and then the cookie itself is an object i want to group them all together and just treat it as one object now that i’ve selected this entire item over on the right hand side once i have this item selected i can group all of these so here i’ll click on group and now here if i click over here it’ll select the entire object and all of the chocolate chips so here if i rotate it it’ll simply rotate everything together that’s exactly what i want here i’ll zoom out just a little bit here i’ll move my mouse wheel and that’ll zoom me out of the scene a little bit now once again just like in the intro i had three cookies on the baking sheet so i want to duplicate these cookies and it’s pretty easy to do that i don’t have to recreate more cookies here i’m going to move this one a little bit over to the side here once i have this object selected i’ll press ctrl c to copy and then i can press ctrl v and that’ll paste it so here now i have another chocolate chip cookie and maybe here i’ll just rotate it just a little bit so the last thing you want is for everything to just look uniform and consistent you want it to look a little bit different so that rotation will help a little bit with that once again i’ll select this first object i’ll press ctrl c ctrl v and that pastes another chocolate chip cookie and here i’ll put that right over here and here too i’ll just rotate it a little bit just once again so everything doesn’t look so uniform now if i wanted to i could also move some of the chocolate chips around just to make them look a little different but i think the rotation alone makes it look pretty good and they don’t all look the same so i think that looks pretty good i’m now done working with the cookies and i no longer need this reference photo now i could highlight this photo and once that’s selected i can press the delete key on my keyboard and that’ll wipe it out and i now have a blank canvas again but i am mainly working in 3d and i don’t need this canvas over on the side so right up on top where i have all my all my tools i can click on canvas and right here i can decide to not show the canvas so right now here i am just working in my 3d environment next i want to place these three cookies on a baking sheet so once again just like we did before we want to insert a 3d shape let’s go back to the top and click on 3d shapes now over here there are a whole bunch of different types of 3d objects and the closest one to a baking sheet is a cube a baking sheet is a rectangular object and this is a cube so let’s start with this and see if we can get it down to looking like a baking sheet here i’ll click on this object and i’ll simply drag it so it appears over the cookie so the size is going to be just a little bit bigger than the three cookies and then i’ll let go now one of the things you’ll notice is it’s a cube so when i go around here you’ll notice that it’s pretty thick and back and i want to reduce that so right up here i have these borders around the shape and here i can drag down the depth of this shape and here i want to make it so it’s just about flat so i’ll go right down to there now i can rotate it because i want this to appear behind my cookies and i’ll bring it up to 90 degrees and then i’ll place it right here behind the cookies now one of the things you’ll notice is the cookies are actually sitting through the cube and i don’t want that i want this cube or the rectangular baking sheet to be just behind the cookies so over here i can choose the z access position so here you’ll see that i can move it behind the cookies i can move it in front of the cookies but i want the cookies to just be sitting on this sheet so here i’ll pull it just about there and it looks like the cookies are sitting on it exactly to verify i could go to 3d view and here i can see the cookies truly are sitting directly on it now that looks pretty good now right now i have a baking sheet but it doesn’t really look like a baking sheet i want to give it a texture that aligns with what a baking sheet typically looks like here i’m going to pull my shape over and next i want to apply a sticker right up on top there’s an option called stickers let’s click on that and here we’ll see all of these preset textures but i can choose whatever texture i want right up here i can click on this smiley face and we see different stickers i could insert or here if i click on this folder icon i can add my own i’m going to add my own sticker here on my desktop i have a top down photo of a baking sheet so this will give me the texture to apply to my baking sheet feel free to go online and search for just a photo of a baking sheet and then bring that in here i’ll click on this and now i’ve inserted this sticker now here you see the baking sheet is a lot smaller than the actual shape so here i’m going to bring it up to the top corner and then i’ll expand it quite a bit so it fills up the entire cube area here i’ll place it right about here so you see this nice color or texture from the baking sheet is now applied to my cube that looks pretty good so i’ll click on the check mark now that i have my baking sheet all set up i can click on this object and here i’ll pull it under my cookies so now you have all of my cookies sitting on top of a baking sheet this is looking pretty good now that i have the baking sheet sitting behind the cookies i’ll highlight this entire object and let’s select that and here i’ll go over and i’ll group all of these together so the baking sheet and the cookies will all be part of the same group and here now i can rotate it and let me bring it so it sits down on the base so here i’ll bring it all the way down and here it’s sitting on the floor here you see a little bit of color markation on the screen this indicates that it’s on the bottom and here even as you drag the item down you’ll notice how it lands on this surface right at about here now i could bring it even lower but i’m going to place it right here on the base this way especially as i bring in the milk and other objects i’ll be able to align them all in the same plane here now right now as i look at this image it looks like the baking sheets a little bit thick now right now this is one group of objects i could simply select this entire thing and here i could adjust how thick it appears so i’m going to adjust this it’ll make the cookies a little bit thinner but i think that’s fine i think that looks good and here i’ll just adjust it a little bit more so the baking sheets a little bit thinner and here once again i’ll pull this down so it sits right on the base next i want to insert a container of milk to appear alongside my cookies for this one instead of building it out let’s see what’s available in the 3d library right up here i’ll click on 3d library and let’s search for milk to see what shows up once i type in milk here i see this half pint of milk i’ll click on this object and that’ll bring it into my scene now it’s inserted this object and i can now position it around here i’ll jump into the 3d view so i could find a good position for it now if i want to drop it down here i can bring it down and here it’s sitting on the base so i’ll bring it down to the base so it sits alongside the cookies and then here i can move it back just a little bit so here you notice the plane moving back i also want to rotate the milk so it kind of sits at an angle to the cookies i think that looks pretty good here i could toggle between the 3d view and the 2d view and here i can see that they’re all sitting on that same plane here i’ll jump back to the 3d view now i did mention that we now have brandon milk at the kevin cookie company so i want to insert my logo on this container of milk to do this just like we did with the baking sheet we’re going to use stickers to pull this off right up here i’ll click on add sticker i’ve now added a sticker for the kevin cookie company and you can see that right here if you want to use this logo in your 3d scene that you’re building out i’ve included a link to it in the description of this video here i’ll click on the sticker and it just throws it directly onto my baking sheet now i don’t want the logo there so i’ll select this object and i’m going to move it over to the milk now one of the really cool things that you can see here and let me zoom in a little bit just so you can see this a little better as i move the logo around you’ll notice how it conforms to the shape that i’m putting it on so that’s pretty cool how it does that so here i can put the logo up on top or i could put it down on the side of the milk i’ll adjust the sizing just a little bit so it appears here on the sides of the on the side of the milk i think that’s a pretty good position i’ll click on this check mark also i want to put a logo on the other side of the milk so let me click on the milk container and here i’m going to rotate it around now that i have the other side of the milk visible i’ll click on this sticker once again here i see it appear on my canvas and i’ll drag it over here again i’ll adjust the size and let me position it right here now if i wanted to insert another logo i could also click on this stamp tool when i click on the stamp that puts in another copy of the logo and then i can position it wherever else i want but i don’t need another logo on here so i’ll simply remove that now that i have the logo in place i want to rotate the milk again here i’ll go back over to 3d shapes let me select the milk container and then i’ll go ahead and let’s rotate it again so it appears this way so i think that’s pretty good next i want to insert the kevin cookie company url on the milk container and to do that we’re going to use 2d shapes right up on top let’s click on 2d shapes and first i want to insert a container for the text so over here i could insert all these different shapes and just like we could do with the sticker here i could draw a shape on the milk container and that’s going to conform to the object that we’re putting it on now i don’t want to insert a circle instead i want to put this rounded square on the container and i’ll put it right here near the bottom so i’m going to draw my shape right here and keep in mind this is where the url will go now right up here i could select a fill i’m going to click on this and let’s go with this dark red that kind of matches the red on the milk container i don’t need a line around it so here i’ll click over here and select none now this looks pretty good let me move it right towards the bottom and i’ll extend it just a little bit so i’ll have it use up the width of most of the milk carton now that position looks pretty good to me so i’ll click on ok next i want to insert some text so it appears on this milk carton now i’m going to leave the 2d view for just a moment and once again let’s click back onto canvas and let’s click on show canvas i’ve now turned the canvas back on and i want the canvas to match my dark red that i have over here let’s go over and click on brushes let’s go down to the paint bucket and over here i’ll select the same dark red color over here now i’ll paste it on the canvas so the canvas now matches this rounded square right up here let’s click on text and i want this to be white text so i’ll click on white i’ll leave the font set to go ui i think that’s fine right up here you have two different types of text that you can insert you could insert 2d text or 3d text i just want this to be 2d text it’s going to sit on this surface but keep in mind you can also enter insert 3d text here i’ll click on the canvas and let’s type in kevincookiecompany.com i’ve inserted the text i’m going to go and just align it and then expand it just a little bit so the full text appears on the canvas i’m going to highlight this and just reduce the font size just a little bit so it fits in right there i think that looks pretty good so i’ll click away and that now pastes the text on the canvas now one thing to keep in mind once you paste text it’s locked in place so i can’t go back and select this text again so if for whatever reason i’m unsatisfied with this text i can either go back up to history and go back to a previous step or i could highlight this and then delete it and then start again but unfortunately you can’t go back and edit text next i’m going to highlight this text so i’m going to add a rectangle around it and once i have it selected i’m going to make that a sticker so let’s click on make sticker right now i have a sticker in place and i could drag it over and i could place this on the milk carton here i’ll adjust it and let me reduce the size so it just fits into this rectangle and i think it’ll help if i zoom in just a little bit to make sure that i position it properly here i place it right in that area and i think that looks pretty good so i’ll click on the check mark next let’s jump back to the 3d view and now here you can see my milk carton with my text appearing on the carton that looks pretty good now the scene is coming together pretty nicely however i want to center all of these different items in the middle of this 3d view here i’ll zoom out just a little bit and i’ll select all of my different 3d objects right here now i can move these so they appear right in the center near the canvas that’s a pretty good position next i’m going to turn off the canvas again i can go up here click on canvas and then i’ll turn off or toggle off show canvas once again i can enter the 3d view and this is looking pretty good i have some pretty good looking cookies i have my baking sheet and i have my carton of milk the scene is coming together very nicely now and i think we’re pretty much done building out the scene however i do want to show you a few different ways how you can visualize your scene right up on top if we click on effects you can apply different filters to your scene right now it’s set to the default filter but here i can apply different colors so here’s lavender or i can apply tan so you can see how it affects what your image looks like i’m going to go back to default down below you also have something called the light wheel and here you can adjust how the light hits your 3d scene so here you can have the lighting so it’s more behind the scene here i could adjust it so here it’s shining right at the milk so this one looks pretty good the cookies look pretty vibrant and the carton looks pretty good so i’ll stick with this positioning for the light now once i’m all done building out my scene and setting the lighting i’m going to go up to the top left hand corner and click on menu now within menu i have a bunch of different options but first off i want to save my project so i could go down to save as i have a few different options i can save it as an image a 3d model a video or a paint 3d project if i want to come back at some let’s say later point and i want to edit this project again this will maintain its original format so first let’s save it as a paint 3d project once you finish typing in a name for your project click on save in paint 3d now that i’ve saved my project i can once again come back and i can edit this scene whenever i want let’s once again go up to menu and within menu go down to save as over here once again if i want to bring this into let’s say microsoft powerpoint or some other application i can save this as a 3d model let’s also do that because i want to show you how you can bring this into powerpoint this opens up a file prompt and here i can type in a file name i’ll simply call this the kevin cookie company scene and then i’ll save it here right down below you have different formats that you can save it as you have glb fbx and 3mf these are all different formats so depending on where you want to bring this in you can choose the appropriate format now you could just save it as this standard format and this will work in powerpoint next let’s click on save we’ve now saved it in a format that’ll work in powerpoint as well as other applications once again let’s go up to menu and this time once again let’s go to save as but let’s click on video i want to show you how you can also export this as a video when i click on video here we see the video playing and we can choose what format we want to save it as so here i have an mp4 video selected you can choose the size down below you also have some additional video settings you can choose the frame rate the quality i’ll leave all those set to the default and down below this is fun you can also set the animation right now this is set to a turn table but here you could have it swing you could also have it jump and turn wobble emerge and also hover so you can apply all these different cool effects and then you can integrate these into other videos that you’re pulling together so it’s a neat way to incorporate some 3d into different videos once you’re all done selecting these different options click on save i mentioned earlier that you can also bring your 3d model into microsoft powerpoint and you can do some pretty cool stuff with 3d rotations here i have a deck for the kevin cookie company and right here i want to announce that we now offer the kevin cookie company cookies together with milk and i think a 3d image can really help with this right up on the top ribbon let’s click on insert and right over here there’s the option to insert a 3d model when we click on this you have stock 3d models or we could insert a 3d model from our device let’s click on this device this opens up the file picker and simply navigate to where you saved your 3d scene i’ll select mine and then click on insert this is now inserted the 3d model onto my slide and by default it just puts it down with this cross section view now when i have this object selected up above on the ribbon i see an option for a 3d model and i have all these different controls for the 3d models and this one right here is neat it has different 3d model views when i click on this here i can adjust the view so maybe i want to go with this more top down view along with simply selecting 3d model views up here i can also use this to adjust the rotation of my image so here i can go with a nice top-down view and let me expand this a little bit i want this to be a more prominent part of my slide i think this position looks pretty nice now i want the next slide to have the same photo but i want to focus more on the milk so here i’ll take this slide i’ll copy by pressing ctrl c and then i’ll paste in the slide again once again i’ll go down and click on this image and maybe i’m going to have it rotate around here to really just focus on the milk along with rotating i’ll expand the size a little bit too so here it really focuses on this milk container because that’s our new product that we have now next i’ll highlight these two different slides and if i go up to the top bar and click on transitions here i can click on a morph transition so let me jump into presentation mode and let’s see what this looks like i’m now in presentation mode and here you see my slide with this 3d image if i click onto the next slide you’ll see the nice rotation and it focuses on the milk container so check that out you can really elevate your game with your powerpoint presentations by bringing in some 3d imagery and especially with the morph transition it makes it possible to do these awesome 3d rotations alright well that’s how you can get started creating using paint 3d if you are able to create an awesome looking 3d object feel free to link to it down below if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up to see more videos like this in the future make
