Blender, alternative Linux à Paint 3D

Mis à jour le 26 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Blender is a valid but overpowered replacement for Paint 3D. It handles all 3D modeling and 2D drawing needs, but the interface is complex for non-technical users. If you only need quick sketches or simple 3D shapes, Blender feels like using a crane to hang a picture. It is best for users willing to learn a professional tool; for casual users, it may be too steep a learning curve compared to Paint 3D’s simplicity.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

Supports 2D raster drawing with brushes and shapes
Capable of creating and editing basic 3D objects
Exports to common image formats like PNG and JPEG
Exports 3D models to STL and OBJ formats
Free and available on Linux

Ce qui change

Lacks a simplified 'Paint' mode; UI is complex for beginners
No direct equivalent to Paint 3D's simple layer stack for 2D raster images (uses nodes or separate images)
Steep learning curve for non-technical users
Overkill for simple tasks like drawing a stick figure
Requires more system resources to run

Ouvrir vos fichiers Paint 3D

Blender does not natively open Paint 3D’s .3MF files directly as a primary workflow, but you can import STL or OBJ files exported from Paint 3D. For 2D images, Blender can open PNG and JPEG files directly. If you have .3MF files, export them to STL in Paint 3D first, then import into Blender. Blender cannot edit the original .3MF structure, only the geometry.

Passer de Paint 3D à Blender, étape par étape

Install Blender via your package manager or Flathub
Export any existing Paint 3D 3D models as STL or OBJ
Import those files into Blender’s 3D viewport
For 2D work, use the Grease Pencil workspace or import PNGs
Learn the basic navigation keys (Middle Mouse to orbit, Scroll to zoom)
Save your work as .blend files to preserve 3D data

Questions fréquentes

Is Blender too hard for a beginner?

Yes, for simple tasks. The interface is dense. If you only draw flat pictures, GIMP or Krita are better. If you need 3D, Blender is the standard, but expect a learning curve.

Can I do simple 2D drawing in Blender?

Yes, using Grease Pencil. It’s powerful but not as intuitive as Paint 3D’s brush palette. It’s better for animation than static sketches.

Does Blender replace Paint 3D’s 3D features?

Yes, and far exceeds them. Blender’s modeling tools are professional-grade. You can do everything Paint 3D does, plus much more, but it’s not 'point-and-click' simple.
