Windows 10 Creators Update is About 3D

They’re said to “start at $299” and use inside-out, six-degrees-of-freedom sensors, meaning you wouldn’t need to rely on external devices like cameras to track your movement.

Because Windows 10 Creators Update and the Redstone update are the same thing, we can expect the features Microsoft has already revealed in recent Windows Insider Program releases to be available in the upgrade too. We’ve long had tools for 2D creation, but 3D creation isn’t as easy to pick up. You’ll still be able to see all of the classic options, but now there’s a new option to add a 3D model.

Microsoft on Wednesday announced details of a major Windows 10 update shipping to everyone for free this spring.

The news and the details of the app are not surprising given that a video showing the new Paint leaked earlier this month.

Xbox Arena also makes use of the new Xbox Live Clubs feature to encourage player correspondence and competition and supports a number of titles across the Play Anywhere platform.

Microsoft announced a community for 3D creators, Remix3d.com, along with a partnership with SketchUp by Trimble.

Oh, and remember how Microsoft dropped billions of dollars on Minecraft?

You can then export this content as a 3D movie, called 3D memories. Several apps can now be used to design 3D objects. For example, you can upload the 3D file to Facebook to share it with your friends. With a 28-inch display armed with 13.5 million pixels, it offers a TrueColor profile, bringing increased color depth and calibration.

Microsoft also hopes that Paint 3D creators will turn to a new online community called Remix 3D, where users can upload their designs and interact with other would-be artists. 3D features will also be worked into other Microsoft apps, such as PowerPoint, where 3D objects can easily be inserted and even manipulated.

It’s important to note that The Surface Studio is designed for creative professionals. And yes, Paint got a fresh lick of paint – pun intended.

Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, said innovations over the past decade have been focused on consumption, “helping us consume more information and media in different formats”. Microsoft promised that 3D will be implemented across its “popular applications” in the coming year. With the Creators update, you’ll be able to set up a live stream using Beam. Devices like the HoloLens let you experience the middle ground. This means that the Microsoft’s upcoming VR headsets will not require any special room modifications or any complicated set-up. The Microsoft VR headsets shall be built by reputed manufacturers like Dell, ASUS, HP, Lenovo and Acer. Microsoft’s teams only recently left the stage at that aforementioned event in New York City. Through a special hub all communication between you and other persons can be viewed in a single app. SMS messages, mails and Skype messenger are all bundled together based on the name of the contact. Today, you can purchase a Rift for $599 or a Vive for $799 to enjoy high-end VR. There’s a lot to go over, so let’s just jump right in and start with something everyone is familiar with.

Gamers can now broadcast through Beam with the Xbox Game Bar
