Paint has been helping Windows users made crude-looking pictures for more than twenty years now and it looks as though Microsoft is finally going to release a Windows 10 version for the modern era.
According to The Verge, Twitter user @WalkingCat has stumbled upon video tutorials of the new ‘Paint Preview’ app which showcase a redesigned, completely overhauled Paint app for Windows 10 that brings support for inking and 3D objects.

While the app includes all the familiar features of Paint, it also allows one to create 3D objects and annotate them freely. There are a bunch of markers and art tools to help users create objects, and brushes that can be used directly on 3D objects. There’s also stickers, and community tools for 3D content. The video shows the artist using a Surface Pen for creating 3D models and 2D images, thereby showcasing the support for pen and ink. Essentially, the new Paint app is not just a port to UWP, but a modern, new-age design tool that packs a punch from what we’ve seen.
we'll hear something at the event Microsoft has planned for the end of October. We're expecting to hear about some new hardware, including an all-in-one Surface device, but a new-look version of Paint could be unveiled too.
