Graphics in the world of learning have been generally stuck in two dimensions. This limitation can get in the way of your ability to immerse the audience in a story or explain how complex models or processes work. Being able to add a third dimension would do more than just add flash to the content—it could actually make a real impact by making the content more understandable and engaging. But how can you create and add 3-D objects to your work, particularly when you don’t have the budget to hire specialty developers or buy expensive software?
The solution is new functionality in Microsoft’s PowerPoint and Paint 3D. In this session you’ll find out how, with little to no experience, you can now customize hundreds of professionally made 3-D objects and even make your own 3-D objects quickly and easily. You’ll get tips on how to find existing 3-D objects and then customize them. You will then build the skills you’ll need to get started creating your own new 3-D objects. Finally, you’ll explore how to integrate these 3-D objects with your content by either using them in your eLearning modules or combining them with PowerPoint.
In this session, you will learn:
- When 3-D objects can help enhance the learning experience
- How to create 3-D objects and customize them with your own graphics and logos in Paint 3D
- How to find and customize professional 3-D objects in Remix 3D
- How to import your objects into PowerPoint 365, rotate them on command, and integrate text and animations

Novice to intermediate designers and developers.
