In relation to IMVU this makes imported meshes extremely small, so small as to essentially cause ' too small' errors on import, which necessitates using much higher 'scale' values than applicable to other 3D applications, the high hundreds or low thousands by comparison. In other words the Unit of Scale for Paint 3D is PIXELS not real-world units of measurement like meters.ĭesign note: Paint 3D's scaling can be represented as ' 1 Unit = 1 pixel'. The 'Canvas' size is defined using percentage ('%') or pixel ('px') values, both being relative to the Users screen size - a canvas set to 100% of a 15' laptop screen might be 1330 pixels wide versus the 3890 pixels of a 24' monitor. Paint 3D is orientated around the ' Canvas', a flat plan that acts as a single-axis vertical backdrop (' Z' axis) rather than a three-dimensional workspace in the traditional sense often employed in Blender, Maya, 3DS Max etcetera.ĭesign note: Paint 3D's background canvas can be disabled, hidden or made 'transparent' by clicking the ' Canvas' button in the menu ribbon running across the top of the application, this opens the ' options' panel to the right where two sliders are available ' Show canvas' and ' Transparent canvas', both should be disabled prior to export.

the initial position of objects is relative to Paint 3D.

assign incremental 'Mesh ID' values to each mesh.

changing ' Mesh ID' values, ' 0' overrides the default.

on import set ' Apply scale:' to ' 1700'.

item position will be relative to IMVU not Paint 3D.

mesh count should be kept to a minimum.When using Paint 3D to make items for IMVU, keep in mind the following
