3D Paint can't come close to achieving the same results you can get from a more professional modeling platform, but it's a great introduction to three dimensional modeling, and it can accomplish some basic if solid work, especially if you're willing to get creative with the tools available to you. Paint has long served as a basic and easy to learn alternative to software like Photoshop and GIMP, and 3D Paint looks to achieve that same objective in the 3D space, and the end result is largely the same. Learning the ins and outs required a lot of learning both in terms of the fundamentals of what 3D design meant and in terms of navigating the complicated menus and tools. While programs like Maya 3D offered professional three dimensional modeling tools that could be used to create professional design for fields like game design and film CGI, they were expensive and serious resource hogs.

Creating three dimensional designs once required a serious investment both in terms of money and learning curve. Microsoft Paint 3D builds off of the stripped down fundamentals of Microsoft Paint to offer the first 3D drawing software packaged natively with a Windows operating system.
