SiteSee has made a name for itself by using machine learning to perform accurate object recognition against 3D reality models. The company sends up UAVs to capture a realistic model of your large infrastructure asset, and then automatically extracts virtually all the information that an owner/operator could need to make informed decisions about the maintenance… Continue Reading AI Will Fully Automate 3D Model Analysis

The show car is based on a Nissan Rogue – which is essentially a US-spec X-Trail, with a 127kW, 2.5-litre petrol four driving the front wheels via a constantly variable transmission. For its most ambitious Star Wars show car yet, Nissan started with the designers at Lucasfilm and Industrial Light and Magic, who design all… Continue Reading How To Create A Car For Han Solo Using 3D Printer

Have you ever found yourself sitting in the theater, watching a Pixar film, and contemplating what it is about CGI animation that makes for some of the best children’s movies? One of the first pieces of CGI software to enter the mainstream was Autodesk’s AutoCAD in 1982. Back then it wouldn’t have been feasible to run… Continue Reading Top 3 CGI Tutorials

Technological advancements are making every task easier and better. We are now able to do more with less in almost every sphere of our lives. Every sector is riding the technology bandwagon for better outcomes and the construction industry follows suit. Be it BIM or 3D modeling, technology is enabling the construction industry to achieve more in… Continue Reading 3D modeling in construction

Amazon has used the company’s technology to build a body scanning team within the company. The theory is that if Amazon knows your exact proportions it can increase your success of shopping online for clothes. This, in turn, would reduce the number of returns which Amazon, of course, wants to promote. It is thought the… Continue Reading How Amazon Is Going To Use Body 3D Scan

AI is not the stuff of the far-off future; it is already incorporated within the SOLIDWORKS portfolio to support a variety of design goals. Within the category of optimization, AI helps generate more intelligent designs that are lighter, stronger, and more economical, as is the case with Live Parts, which “grows” part models in a manner… Continue Reading Artificial Intelligence Helps CAD Users

Autodesk recently announced its latest releases: Autodesk InfraWorks and Autodesk Civil 3D 2019. The improvements are focused on providing opportunities for easier collaboration between users, better software interoperability and easier drawing of complex shapes. Some of the updates allow for better interoperability between the two programs specifically. Users can now automatically import InfraWorks roads into… Continue Reading Autodesk Releases InfraWorks and Civil 3D 2019

You can now virtually visit various world wonders through Google’s Arts & Culture service, or even download their schematics to print your own miniature 3D models. In a post on Google Keyword, Google Arts & Culture programme manager Chance Coughenour said laser scanners now allow them to capture these monuments in fuller detail including the… Continue Reading How to 3D print world wonders, using data off Google

Modeling characters is very interesting and sometimes may be hard. Many 3D artists admitted that modeling eye is one of the hardest parts of their work. However, eyes make human models very realistic if they look realistic and vice versa. Arrimus 3D prepared a short but very useful tutorial for modeling, texturing, and rendering an Eyeball: And the second part:… Continue Reading Modeling, Texturing, and Rendering an Eyeball

Sometimes the shape of an object prevents the easy 3D scanning of its entire surface. In these cases the resultant 3D model will have holes. Filling these holes is an often time consuming process and when automated can yield imperfect results, smoothing over details that existed in the physical object, and producing an inaccurate 3D… Continue Reading Automated Software Fills Holes And Prepares Model For 3D Printing

At Hannover Messe, the trade fair for Smart Production, ZEISS will be presenting RealScan, its first-ever 3D scanner and 3D scan service used to create photorealistic 3D models. From product presentation in the online shop to realistic representations in games and interactive training applications based on augmented reality, 3D technology is assuming an increasingly important role… Continue Reading RealScan – 3D Scanner and Scan Service by Zeiss

Low Poly was a technique originally used for making 3D models and scenes for video games, due to its render speed, which was achieved thanks to low polygonal resolution. Low poly scenes are very easy to create compared with architectural visualization, photorealistic renders or any animation techniques. You don’t need a lot of experience modeling or… Continue Reading Top Low Poly Modeling Tutorials

zSpace and Autodesk have teamed up to let students explore 3D objects in an immersive VR environment. Tinkercad is Autodesk’s free, browser-based 3D modeling environment that lets users build complex 3D objects by combining simple 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, cones and cylinders. Designs created in Tinkercad are used for everything from 3D printing to… Continue Reading zSpace, Autodesk Make Tinkercad Designs Immersive
