Using the 3D interface
A 3D canvas is mostly similar to its 2D counterpart. In this section, we will go over the basic interface and gestures that are unique to 3D painting in Procreate.
The workspace
Starting off, we will be looking at the workspace for 3D painting. The following screenshot shows the interface:

The following are the elements in your workspace:
- The 3D model: Painting on a 3D model works much the same way as 2D painting, except this time, the painted strokes lay on top of a 3D surface (the canvas). This model can be moved and rotated to access different parts of the canvas. For 3D models comprising multiple parts, you can tap on each part to select and draw on.
Unlike a 2D background, a 3D model exists in an infinite, neutral space. The attributes of a 3D background can be changed using Lighting Studio. We’ll learn more about it later in the chapter, in the Modifying the environment...
