Paint 3D is the brand new Windows 10 app that everyone is raving out because of how easy Microsoft made it for non-professionals to create 3D objects by drawing or scanning. It is expected to be bundled with Windows 10 Creators Update, the next major release of Windows 10 which should become available in March 2017. Here is how you can get the official preview of the app.

Classic Microsoft Paint should already be on your Windows PC. In the search box next to Start on the taskbar, type paint and then select Paint from the list of results. If you have the latest version of Windows 10 and want to try something new, open Paint 3D featuring new 2D and 3D tools. Starting with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Microsoft is ditching the good old Paint app and replacing it with a new Modern app called 'Paint 3D'. Classic Paint's new home will be the Windows Store, but I am afraid it won't stay there forever.

Unfortunately, there are a few limitations to the Paint 3D Preview version.

First of all, it is officially available only for users in USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. For other users, it is not yet displayed in the Windows Store. To bypass this limitation, you can change your region and location in the Control Panel.
