Poly brings modeling, materials, lighting, and animation into a saved 3D scene. Choose a focused guide below, or build a first scene from start to export.

Bring existing work into Poly when it gives you a useful starting point. Export when the result needs to move to another tool. Keep the saved Poly scene as your editable project, since an exchange file cannot preserve every editing feature.

Animate lets you give an object movement over time. You can key the whole object, build a native skeleton for a supported mesh, or inspect an imported character's existing animation and add supported pose adjustments.

Prepare a model's texture layout, paint a recognizable detail, and confirm that the texture is saved with the scene. Start with a simple object so you can see how its flat UV layout maps onto its surface.

Turn a simple primitive into a more deliberate form, then add surface detail. This sequence keeps structural decisions ahead of texture work and avoids spending time painting geometry you will replace.

Use save feedback to finish an editing session confidently, then reopen the scene and check the result. This is especially useful after importing a model, changing geometry, or painting a texture.

Build a small native skeleton for a supported mesh, bind it, and test a pose. Start with a simple elongated form so that a joint's effect is easy to see.

Create a short movement for one object, review its timing, and keep it as a named action. This is a good first animation because it does not require a skeleton.

Text and shapes add labels, diagrams, and clean graphic elements to painted artwork. Keeping these elements editable makes it easier to change wording, adjust alignment, or reuse a composition at another size.

Pixels supports both shared space documents and local imported projects. Knowing which one is open tells you where your work is saved and whether another person can join it.
