3D Modeling Part 2
Modeling processes
The vast majority of 3D models today are built as textured polygonal models, because they are flexible and because computers can render them so quickly. However, polygons are planar and can only approximate curved surfaces using many polygons. NURBS modeling - NURBS Surfaces are defined by spline curves, which are influenced [...]
3D Modeling Part 1
3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wireframe representation of any three-dimensional object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. The product is called a 3D model . It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical [...]
2D Versus 3D Modeling Methods
Modelers use a combination of 3D and 2D modeling techniques in the creation of a 3D model. With the combination of these methods, we receive the easy rendering processes that come with 3D model creation, and the ease in creating models that come with 2D model creation processes. There are three [...]
