Four Methods of 3D Modeling

3D modeling is the process of mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object. The main objective of 3D modeling is creating a visual image of the object. The model is usually based on real life objects (for example, cars, buildings, or humans), but it can also be fully abstract — fractals, graphics and so on. 3D… Continue Reading Four Methods of 3D Modeling

Creating 3D Models With NURB Modeling

NURB modeling or, non uniform rational b-spline modeling creates 3d models with varying surface representations. This type of modeling allows for the curves that we see in sleek vehicle models and architecturally curved buildings.   Specific aspects of a NURB model include; knot vector, control points and the order of these items. Control points are… Continue Reading Creating 3D Models With NURB Modeling

Types Of 3D Modeling: Polygonal Modeling

There are three common shapes created with the use of polygonal 3D modeling; triangles, quads, and elements. Triangles are formed when three sided polygons are uses, quads are formed with four sided polygons are used, and an element is created by a group of polygons connected together at a shared point. Polygon modeling refers to… Continue Reading Types Of 3D Modeling: Polygonal Modeling

3D Models For Use In Geological Modeling

Geological modeling serves the purpose of creating 3D models of sections of the earths crust. These 3D models are unique as they can be created with different types of simulations of rocks, even the types of cells within the rocks. 3D models allow seismologists to predict certain events within the crust of the earth from… Continue Reading 3D Models For Use In Geological Modeling

The Creation Process Of A 3D Model: Rendering

Rendering is the third and final step in the simple creation of a 3D model. Rendering refers to the image being visualized with images being created from the 3D model. There are many features of a rendering, these include; transparency, shading, shadows, reflection, depth of field, caustics, fogging, bump-mapping and texture mapping. These features are… Continue Reading The Creation Process Of A 3D Model: Rendering

An Introduction To Spline Modeling

A spline is defined as a special function involving polynomials in the mathematics realm. It can also be used to describe an alternative way to figure interpolation problems, and is an easier less governed function than polynomial interpolation. For those not familiar (or interested) in mathematics, the term spline may be more familiar as it… Continue Reading An Introduction To Spline Modeling

Animating A 3D Model

Unlike movies that consist of many frames, 3D models cannot be animated by using the typical amount of frames per second which our eye attributes as blurring and creates on stable image – such as frames per second becoming the movies that we are used to seeing on a daily basis. Creating a 3D model… Continue Reading Animating A 3D Model

The Importance Of A Storyboard In 3D Modeling Animation

3-D modeling animation is a detailed process that begins with an idea, and is developed through a series of steps that ensure thorough and precise translation from mind to visualization. The most important part of this process is to have a storyboard prior to undergoing the production of the full video presentation. This is used… Continue Reading The Importance Of A Storyboard In 3D Modeling Animation
