We all got nostalgically sad with the news that after 32 years MS Paint was to be discontinued, and Microsoft announced in the blog that “The original art app isnā€™t going anywhere ā€“ except to the Windows Store for free!” Not a bad way to remind everybody that Paint is alive and working, right?

Jokes apart, Microsoft developers used this opportunity for introducing Paint 3D as well.

Paint 3D is a Windows 10 new app for creativity with 3D capabilities and some features of MS Paint like photo editing, line and curve tools, and 2D creations.

Main features include:

  • Pre-made 3D models and objects
