Remix 3D was a website created by Microsoft for users to browse, distribute, and download 3D objects.[1] The website featured a free library containing thousands of 3D objects for use in virtual reality and augmented reality applications.[2] Remix 3D was released first to Windows Insiders and then as part of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, alongside Paint 3D.[3] The service also directly integrated with and/or supported 3D Viewer, as well as Paint 3D, SketchUp, Minecraft, and PowerPoint.[4] [5]
In July 2019, Microsoft announced that it would be shutting down the Remix3D site on 10 January 2020.[6] According to ZDNet, two months prior to the announcement, Microsoft Corporate Vice President Kudo Tsunoda, the person in charge of Microsoft's 3D efforts, left his job.[7] Users are encouraged to store their creations to their Outlook.com account, instead.
