What is 3D modeling?

3D modeling is the creation of a digital version of an object or space. A three-dimensional model is a multi-vector drawing that implements a visual embodiment. In particular, when it comes to modeling for industry, the object on the screen will look exactly as it will be after implementation.

A 3D model is created based on a unique idea: sketches, drawings, or technical descriptions. But it is also possible to develop a digital copy: based on a photo or a real prototype of an object. Three-dimensional models are used to facilitate design, for presentation or further printing of prototypes.

Parametric modeling is suitable for industrial applications. It is based on a mathematical model (sketch), which is given parameters. By changing the parameters, you can create various combinations of the model. Parametric modeling is an old and simple way to design industrial parts and mechanisms.

To achieve results in three-dimensional graphics, you need to have good spatial thinking.

Once you master computer graphics, you can develop additional skills and use them to create 3D printing, 3D games, animation, web design, virtual reality, architectural visualization, movie effects, and much more.

Principles of creating 3D models

3D modeling is the development of three-dimensional images of objects in space. Stages of the process:

  • modeling – development of the “skeleton” of the model and its surfaces;
  • texturing – detailing and visual imitation of types and features of surface materials;
  • animation – performed as needed. For example, moving visualization to understand the processes of the product;
  • Rendering – creating images in space, with simulation of furnishings, lighting, and other relevant factors.3D modeling is suitable for industrial production, architecture, medicine, computer games and cinema, development of exclusive products, and advertising.
