I have added two new galleries, Architecture & Interior Design and Industrial Product Design, with around a dozen images in each.

A preview :

Have a look! 

A special mention for all the content creators at Google 3D Warehouse. Because of them, the Warehouse has become the preferred destination for quality 3D models. Hats off to them!

And the best part : its accessible from within 3DPaintBrush, just one click away. Happy Painting!

3DPaintBrush has an inbuilt integration with Google 3D Warehouse. You can search and download models from the largest 3D models repository in the world directly from within 3DPaintBrush.

Having access to such a large collection of 3D data can help you ideate and customize your 3D scenes for specific purposes. In the tutorial below, I create a simple scene by searching for a chair, a table, a vase and 3D walls. The copy/paste components, as well as move, scale and rotate components functionality is also shown. I also modify the material properties of these components inside 3DPaintBrush.

Have a look!

 

I have added a dozen more pictures in the Automotive gallery, including some Audi's (R8 & TT), a couple of Aston Martins and a Lexus.

Have a look! Hope you like them.

P.S. : Will be adding a couple of more galleries in the near future, so stay tuned.

I have added a Video Tutorials section under Learn More. You can find it here. There are currently two tutorials covering the following topics :-

• Drag and Drop Materials on components
• Modify Material properties like diffuse color and glossiness
• Copy Materials from one component and paste them on other components
• Drop Shadows
• Move components

Have a look!

A variety of applications exist today for modeling and creation of 3D data. Applications like Google SketchUp, AutoCAD and Autodesk 3D Studio Max are prominently used in creation and consumption of 3D models in various fields and at various stages. Most people have there favourite application for creation and sharing of 3D models.

With this is mind, we have provided native support for various popular 3D data formats. In 3DPaintBrush, you can directly import your models from Google SketchUp (*.skp), 3DS (*.3ds), AutoCAD (*.dwg, *.dxf), Wavefront (*.obj) as well as STEP & IGES (*.stp, *.step, *.igs, *.iges).

This also helps you to save time as you need not export to a supported format to create images and animation videos in 3DPaintBrush. In my next post I will tell you how you can capture 3D data from virtually any application and use it inside 3DPaintBrush.

You can now download 3DPaintBrush from download.com as well.

Just click here to visit and download 3DPaintBrush on download.com.

 When we started with 3DPaintBrush, we had only two things in mind, for the software to be able to create images and videos from 3D models :-

 

1. Fast
2. Easy to Use

 

Going by this philosophy, we have tried to provide all the tools and presets available in the product, in an intuitive and easy-to-use fashion.

 

On the right hand side, all the presets for lights, materials, backgrounds, built-in animations and primitives are available in drag and drop mode. You can also apply any of these by selecting a component in the graphics area and double clicking.

 

On the left hand side, all the editable properties are displayed depending on the selection. Just above it, the whole composition of scene is available.

 

No pesky popups or multi tabbed dialog boxes are presented to you. 

Let us know what you think...

Greetings!
