nice

You have made more effort for one class than all of my teachers e ever did combined, you make this world a better place!

You're part of a very very very very very small minority

😂😂 Nice!

​@@4rumani Tiny but real minority. 😂

As a 3D artist with focus towards Blender and Substance Painter, I completely understand and I disagree with people seeing 3D as only being practiced by a small minority. These people calling it a small minority don't seem to know that 3D has gotten big over the last 10 years. For a long time it was a niche yet skilled profession that required college degrees in video games and CGI. Today, its a huge industry that consists of beginners, seasoned artists and hobbyists, all sharing knowledge on KZfaq and other sources to create indie games, indie films and unique 3D content. Almost every mid to high quality phone has excellent options for 3D scanning and more people are 3D printing now than ever. With printers becoming more mainstream and providing higher quality results; 3D printing is now the number one method to produce a wide range of different products, medical applications, tools or demonstration pieces. e.g. I looked up an old GE fan knob for a specific model from 1970, and lo and behold, someone had a perfect scan available for printing. This is exactly why Microsoft was encouraging 3D among Windows users by adding such folders, its because the future is actually leaving the majority of people behind. For example, most people don't realize that the internet, computers and technology in general evolves faster than our immediate needs. Its why AI is already considered a multi-billion dollar industry despite a majority of average people not knowing yet what to do with it; its about the potential of having the power to do advanced calculations regardless of the data to be processed. In this case, Microsoft was just thinking ahead that more people would be into 3D printing and so they were supporting a new industry similar to the success of the original paper printer. Imagine everyone who has a computer, also having a 3D printer capable of instantly printing any plastic replacement part, special tools or clamps, the list goes on and on; the potential is massive, but it takes people to adopt the technology and learn to use it. The more mainstream and cheaper that printers become, the more that people will find themselves buying one just to print random BS, and then people won't be able to live without one due to its usefulness to fix or replace something by just downloading a shared file. The same could be said about VR, AR, scanning, modeling or texturing; these things go together in shaping the future of how people interact with their computers and eventually with each other. Most of these companies are strongly embracing the technologies because they know the full potential. In these very loosely quoted words of a past Sony CEO, "The customer does not know what they want. At Sony, we must think 10 years into the future to design a product people would want to buy today."

You and the 0,0x% of people?

How did u comment 19 min ago, while the video was posted 57 seconds ago 😮😮

I hv always ignored that folder to the point that I forget it exists

​@@thefanboy3285I'm currently visualizing Mr. Skinner alone in his office, double clicking 3D objects, muttering "dammit" and returning to work as usual 10/10 visualization would recommend

That's what I use it for!

I never thought of moving my stuff there lol

Funny enough I also 3D model a lot, for both work and my own projects, but never used that folder for this purpose. All on their own project folders, and even some individual models I have a folder under my normal documents folder, tho that's a carryover from Windows 7 as well.

I recently got into 3D printing and created my own 3D objects folder on the desktop. I don't really use any of the windows provided folders though. I basically keep everything in folders and subfolders on my desktop.

🤓

Same! I use this folder even now in Win 11 for organizing all my 3D print files. :P

I use it all the time. It stayed in my system when I migrated from 10 - 11

Encrypt your stuff (via 7-Zip).

The “homework” folder

Nah, it's always the windows folder 😁

as a parent and owner of 2 3d printers i would like to say, good luck ;)

As a 3d modeler i. Never used that folder lol

i just use it to remove backgrounds from images

yea I only played with it tiny bit, its good for beginners , but even then its hard to recommend, if your going into 3d modeling, and are intending to use programs like blender, the shortcut keys are a must to master, and I am unsure if using 3D paint will help/ hinder learning that.

i've actually used it for 3d modeling before :) the only problem with using it is the topology being really bad

It is also just a more powerful version of paint, I use it to save images and such and do really basic image editing and it works so much better than original paint

My Briefcase was actually a good "app", just ahead of its time. OneDrive essentially incorporates My Briefcase's features and expands upon them.

Holy shit I remember briefcases....

So do I. I still have my late Dad's real briefcase in his old room...

Sometimes you just gotta view that "homework" in 3d.

Was the homework also 3D?

"Damn, that dinosaur model must be huge, look how big the 3D folder is!" "Umm... yeah... totally, haha!"

@@kuroshiteyeah I couldn't use that folder for this purpose, as mine is mostly 2D

should've put them in a password-protected 7zip archive or if you want to, put them in system32 > drivers ...or just don't save them

you can change the icon of any folder by: right click > properties > customize > change icon you can even make your own icons - you just need to convert your image to a very specific format

@@qu765 what's the point of creating your own folder for 3d objects and changing the icon instead of just using the built-in one?

I would really like to know how you got it back, I used to use it for random shit on my pc lol

@@KyeTypesKindaFastI cant really help you as it never got deleted for me when i updated from win 10 to 11 as it had files in it I think

Wait, why did your pandemic girlfriend needed a 3d orange?

Who in the history of humanity thought that we as a dominant and civilized race would use legitimately the "pandemic girlfriend" phrase in the same sentence as "3d orange"? but also I think that the pandemic girlfriend really needed it, those were truly wild times...@@mora6821

A 3d orange? Damn dude, let's bring it down about 20 notches. We're getting a bit crazy here

For me I think 3D Builder saved some work in that folder "3D Objects/3D Builder"

before i downloaded aseprite i used paint 3D because it was the only actual sprite program i had, and also because ms paint didnt have any transparency features

Windows probably detected you had stuff in it and decided not to delete the folder

I do exactly the same, STEP and STL files

my 3d objects folder still exists in windows 11 because there was a single zip file with a model of the starship enterprise i downloaded in there apparently

same for game development. Checking fbx's have been exported correctly with this.

Ok I’m not the only one who didn’t have anything else it could load

I actually always install them back after they are no longer pre installed. They are good for aiding 3D printing.

@@FlameRat_YehLon I did too but stopped after needing the space at the time I was using a tablet and the ability to enlarge and inspect had me amazed 😁

Nothing makes you feel older, as when someone refers a 4year old event as "nostalgic"

I downloaded GIMP on my home computer and shipped it off to my school laptop via OneDrive. XD Did this with Sublime Text, BlueJ, TurboWarp, IntelliJ, and possibly Godot in the near future to fuel my programming and game development addiction lol!

what if your school uses windows 8.1

@@rockpie what's wrong with them

How...is it any more useful than literally any other folder...I don't get the idea of pre-set folders for stuff. I'm going to put the things I want where I want them. A folder more or less deep into the folder tree is kinda more useless than a folder created directly on the drive, for example. It takes precious digits away from the name due to how file names and their limitations work.

@@kikixchannel It's more useful because it's there by default, because Windows gives it a neat distinct icon without me having to do shit, and because if software developers cared for it, they could be like: "hey, this default folder on Windows profile was designed to store the exact type of files our program works with ... let's use that as our default save directory instead of defaulting to Documents folder, because Documents folder contains more garbage than your local landfill." As for file name limitations: unless you're giving your folders names that are at least thrice as long as they should be, there's very little chance of exceeding even the former "your full file path can't be more than 260 characters long" limit. However, for new Windows installs as of Win 10 1607, the path length limit was pretty much lifted, meaning Windows gets to enjoy the full path length supported by NTFS, which is 32000 characters long. Unless you intend to dump entire works of Shakespear into your path name (255 characters at a time), you aren't going to run out of characters by placing files inside your user profile directory like you probably should.

@@kikixchannel THIS! Who uses any of the default folders ither than downloads and pictures (only because stuff gets stored there automatically)

​@@KUIJEN8659game and other app devs. At least depending on the game/app. Like i have some games from steam that put my saves by default to the documents folder. ClipStudio Paint has some stuff saved there (cant remeber what off top my head).

@@kikixchannel I think that those preset folders were meant to make Windows more welcoming for users of Unix-like operating systems such as macOS, Linux and some others that were popular in 90s, in which storing stuff in the root of the system drive generally isn't a good idea (storing stuff in root of other drives is okay though). And if the computer isn't used by a single user (e.g. single computer for a family or a computer for corporation), the user folder is extremely convenient, since instead of cluttering the root of the drive each user clutters only their own user folder

Ah, the classic briefcase folder. I experimented with it once, never really used it though

I remember as a child, the idea of a briefcase folder made much sense to me, but I might have misunderstood what exactly it was for.

Toooootally forgot about that wow

Yes! This thing Deserves a video!

@@dragons_advocate it was for keeping files in sync between a desktop and a laptop. You could work on a document in your briefcase folder, and when you sync'd up both computers would automatically have the most up to date versions of each file.

I honestly really like that program. I use it pretty often to prep a 3d print file before sending it to the actual slicer.

3d builder is nice for fixing holes and weird geometry automatically

I still have it, tho to be fair I have a windows 10 and not 11

@@Vexcenot Do M$ ads refer to M$ with a dollar sign? I'm sure they want to, but haven't seen one so far. Haven't seen any ads of them tbh, I should look that up. How else could I provide a counter argument, anyway? "3D folder gud bro"? And you only heard yourself talking in your mind when you read my words, I never said them. Thanks for the feedback.
