3D modeling is the first stage of the production process. It allows you to replicate products by making them out of plastic or creating models for metal castings.
Modeling with a special 3D program is also used in the following areas:
- Engineering. Creating a 3D model allows you to transfer a real object into a virtual space. This is often used to work on improving the physical properties of products and to conduct endurance tests in a controlled environment.
- Marketing. 3D modeling allows you to make a certain product the hero of videos and other promotional materials. Such visualization gives better results than a flat static image.
- Architecture. You can order 3D modeling of a building, neighborhood, or even the entire city. A specialist will render such a model and apply global lighting to make it look as realistic as possible – it can be used in master plans, visualizations, and promotional videos.
- Computer games. 3D modeling is one of the basic development processes. It allows you to recreate the virtual world and its characters using polygonal graphics.
- Interior design. Modeling and visualization allow you to see today what the room will look like tomorrow. 3D modeling services allow the client and designer to make changes at an early stage, reducing time and money.
3D modeling is carried out in the following sequence:
- creating a topology. Model development begins with a wireframe. It is made up of vectors that form polygons – polyhedral shapes. Usually, polygonal modeling takes the most time;
- applying textures. You can order 3D modeling by recreating any real materials with their colors and relief in a digital file;
- adjusting the light. The direction and strength of the light will affect the appearance of the surface. Light can emphasize the contour or mask certain details;
- rendering. Transformation of a 3D model for printing or research into an imitation of reality. At this stage, various effects can be added, such as glare, blur, or sharpness.
