Microsoft has officially pegged its much-vaunted Creators Update for an April 11th Release (it's actually been available in its "RTM gold" state for some time via leaks on the web and even briefly via their own update tool, but there will surely be security patches between now and the release).
As far as features go, this update focuses a lot on features that Microsoft says enable users to "Unleash Creativity." This includes an update to the paint application that enables 3D functionality, improved support for Mixed Reality, a new "Game Mode" to dedicate resources to games, and a lot of features relating to broadcasting. Outside of the "creativity" theme, Microsoft claims it brings "new features to Microsoft Edge, additional security capabilities and privacy tools, and so much more."
Of all the features mentioned above, Paint's 3D update seems to be getting the most attention. Apparently Paint now allows you to even transform your 2D art into 3d models, and you can also visit a Microsoft run site, Remix3d, to get other models to "plug-in" to your own final work of art.
So far, it has the claims to be an interesting update, whether it has the functionality to back it up is something we have yet to determine.
PS: If this editor sounds a bit reluctant to talk about how well any of the above features work, there is a reason for that: I haven't tried it yet. I plan on dedicating some time to a "firsthand experiences" trial with it sometime this week, if there's enough interest.
