Paint 3D & Art

During our Nexus-S Connected Learning rotation, we learnt about many technological skills, from finding credible and trustworthy research sources to short filmmaking and editing. My favourite skill was making digital art in Paint 3D, where we learnt about different tools to create an image.

This was my final artwork, which combined a magically selected image, a digitally drawn background, a sticker, and a 3D element. All of these features combined together to create a fun, digital background.

Paint 3D Tools

Magic Select is a tool on Paint 3D that uses artificial intelligence to remove a part of an image. It then replaces the blank space with a pattern that has been recognised around the area. In the image shown, the lake has been removed and replaced with an artificially generated forest instead.

Paint 3D offers many different brushes to create different textures, which are pictured here. I used different textures to blend colours, and add highlights to the background of my final image. There are also many different colours to choose from, to create the best work.

There are many different stickers that are pre-made on paint 3D, which allow you to put different textures or cartoony details on a 2D or 3D model. Some of these stickers are shown here, but there are so many more to choose from! They can really make your work stand out from the rest.
