GIMPLinux vs Microsoft Paint 3DWindows

GIMP como alternativa Linux a Microsoft Paint 3D

Actualizado el

Nuestra opinión

GIMP can replace Paint 3D for users who mainly need 2D image editing, painting, and basic layering. It offers a richer brush engine, advanced compositing, and extensive format support, but it does not provide 3D mesh creation, texturing, or animation features that Paint 3D offers. For artists who want to move from simple 3D painting to full‑blown 2D illustration or photo retouching, GIMP is a solid choice.

  • Both support exporting to common raster formats like PNG and JPEG
  • Both have a user‑friendly interface for quick projects
  • Both are available on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Lo que cambia

  • GIMP lacks native 3D mesh creation and 3D painting capabilities
  • Paint 3D supports basic 3D animation and material editing
  • GIMP does not natively import or export .paint3d files
  • Paint 3D provides a quick 3D model creation wizard that GIMP does not have
  • GIMP’s UI is focused on 2D workflows, whereas Paint 3D mixes 2D and 3D

Paint 3D uses the .paint3d container format, which GIMP cannot read or write. To migrate, export the 3D model or image from Paint 3D to a common format such as PNG or OBJ, then import that file into GIMP for further editing. The reverse export to .paint3d is not supported.

Pasar de Microsoft Paint 3D a GIMP, paso a paso

  1. Open Paint 3D and export the image or 3D model to PNG, JPEG, or OBJ.
  2. Save the file on your Linux machine.
  3. Launch GIMP and use File → Open to load the exported file.
  4. If it’s a 3D model, use a 3D viewer or convert it to a 2D image before editing in GIMP.
  5. Save or export the final result from GIMP in the desired format.
