Insert 3D Models in PowerPoint

When we talk about 3D, we refer to three-dimensional objects, that is, objects that have three dimensions: length, width, and height. Humans see the world around us in 3D, as we can perceive the length, width, and height of all the objects around us.

3D objects can also be found in graphic design, and we can include these 3D resources in our PowerPoint presentations to give them an original and realistic touch. In this article, we will guide you on how to insert 3D resources in PowerPoint to make your presentations unique. Don’t worry, you won’t need the famous red and blue 3D glasses to read this information! Here we go!

Inserting Stock 3D Models in PowerPoint

PowerPoint offers a large selection of stock 3D models. You can find all kinds of elements, from simple geometric shapes to themed models, such as animals, furniture, avatars, dinosaurs, food and drinks, flowers and plants, sports, and more. Some of these models even come with animations.

Here’s how to insert these resources:

1. Go to Insert > 3D Models > Insert 3D model from… > Stock 3D models.

   

2. Choose the model you want from the wide variety available. Select the one that best fits the content of your presentation.

   

3. Place the element wherever you want and adjust its size and orientation to your preference.

   

4. You can also modify the format of the 3D model. For example, to add a reflection effect, right-click on the model > Format 3D model > Effects > Reflection.

   

Creating 3D Elements

You can also create 3D elements from scratch and insert them into your presentation. For this, we will use the Paint 3D application.

1. Open Paint 3D and click on 3D Shapes. This allows you to insert doodles, objects, or 3D models in your desired format.

   

2. For example, let’s insert a 3D doodle. In the options menu on the right, you can select the shape of the doodle, its color, and thickness.

   

3. Adjust the canvas size to fit the 3D element. Click on crop and make the necessary adjustments.

   

4. Once you have finished editing the 3D element, save it on your computer. Click on Menu > Save As > 3D Model. Select the desired folder and give it a file name.

   

5. Now, open PowerPoint to insert the 3D resource into your presentation. Click on Insert > 3D Models > Insert 3D Model From > This device. Choose the folder where you saved the 3D model and insert it.

   

   

By following these steps, you can easily insert and create 3D elements in your presentations. Start exploring the world of 3D and elevate your PowerPoint presentations today!
