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]
