Remix 3D Retirement

Microsoft mentions that they offer a number of alternate content sharing options. They recommend OneDrive for sharing your 3D models, which also offers additional tools, permission settings, and security to help protect your data and content. With the retirement of the Remix3D.com site, Microsoft hopes to streamline their offerings in this space and provide you with a more cohesive experience.

The ability to insert 3D models, either user generated or those provided by Microsoft, into Paint 3D, 3D Viewer, 3D Builder and Photos as well as into PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Outlook will remain avaiable. Microsoft is committed to providing users with high quality 3D models, which customers can use to further enhance their own content.

Microsoft is going to following this scenario:

  • [July 10th, 2019] — Users are informed that the Remix3D.com site will be retired as of January 10th, 2020. We advise all users to take action and download their existing Remix3D.com 3D models to other file storage and sharing platforms as soon as possible, as Remix3D.com will no longer be available after January 10th, 2020.
  • [August 7th, 2019] — Uploads of new 3D models to the Remix3D.com site will be disabled. As an alternative, OneDrive can be used for sharing 3D models. Remix3D.com users will be able to access existing published 3D models until the site is retired on January 10th, 2020.
    Additionally, we will release an update, so Remix3D.com users will no longer be able to log into their Remix3D.com account from Paint 3D, 3D Builder and Photos nor from PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Outlook. However, customers can still continue to insert 3D models in these applications.
  • [January 10th, 2020] — The Remix3D.com site and all of its content will be officially retired. All links to Remix3D.com will stop working after this date.
Please keep in mind that once the Remix3D.com site is no longer available, Microsoft will delete all user-generated 3D models and associated metadata from its systems, and users will no longer be able download it or request a copy of it from Microsoft.
