3D modeling is beneficial for those instances in which we will benefit from seeing a physical object in a solid form. For this reason, 2D models cannot justify the results required from observing the model.

Medical surgery has come a long way, with the use of 3D models. Modern surgical tools have implemented schematics which include a 3D model of the body, showing the surgeon precisely where to create an incision or the exact location of a tumor that is to be excised. An x-ray, which uses 2D features and techniques, will not have this gravity throughout the surgery process, and can yield, at best, an estimation of where to cut.

If we think back to chemistry class, and the models in the textbook and in the classroom of the 3D representations of molecules, this is more than likely one of the most memorable influences that many students have faced when interaction with 3D models. Researcher, students, teachers and professors alike have benefited from the creation of 3D models.

Property development companies require 3D models of developments for planning committees, zoning, architects, and designers and most important, to pre-sell the properties before the buildings have been completed. Customers purchase the property based on the models alone, justifying the importance of creating accurate and concise 3D models, which can be rendered in the form of a tour of the unit.

Without 3D models and the rendering and animation of these models we would not have advanced graphics within video games and animated films. Not only are 3D models beneficial for entertainment purposes, but for teaching and instruction techniques, such as a 3D model rendered, to show the process of digestion within the human body. These 3D models engage the viewer and offer unique interaction that cannot be found in a 2D model.

Of course, there are always going to be objects that have shown better results when they are visualized in a 2D space, these are: the traditional x-ray, and perspective drawings.

The Advantages of 3D Modeling

3D modeling and 3D renderings serve multiple advantages in a variety of fields. Without these renderings, we would have no simplification in the form of animated video for complex processes such as surgery, or the complex journey through the digestive system.

Considering in the avenue of film, or in current events how time and cost consuming it could be to recreate an event such as a fire, or explosion that has occurred. The animation of 3D models allows artists to create these events using models, than rendering the models, which provides life into the structure to create a sequence of events.

The process of 3D modeling allows artists to learn a variety of techniques and forms to create models, animation and even visualizations. As these artists are taught varying techniques, productivity increases as each technique is best for create specific types of the models.

Using 3D models are learning tools are a business all in its own. We are each gifted with different abilities, and with these abilities comes different ways in which we are able to learn new concepts, easily and effectively. Through the use of 3D models and 3D visualizations we are able to create concepts which can easily be learned by visual or tactile learners. 3D Artist

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:58:00 -0800 3D Artist http://eliasholt614.posterous.com/3d-artist http://eliasholt614.posterous.com/3d-artist For those who are talented and artistic, the 3D world may be the next step. A job in this industry is very well paid and working with a team of professionals you can improve your skills much faster.

But we all have different goals when it comes to 3D art. Some people want to mod games, others want to create concepts (car design, architectural design, etc), some want to work in the movie industry creating special effects, compositing 3D with live footage, etc. And others are fascinated and curious to learn more about 3D art, but not yet interested enough to dive in.

Meeting your goals imply will power and the means and tools to achieve them. Most people fail early because they lack will power. Talent and inclination towards art alone are not sufficient to succeed in this area. Perseverance is key.

To succeed you need a bit of talent, a little patience and lots and lots of perseverance. If you have these qualities, the tools and means are many and diversified. By tools I mean a 3D software complete with animation, modeling tools, texturing, rendering and all you will need as an artist.

It is understandable that those who are just starting out spend a lot of time finding and choosing "the perfect" software with which to begin. There is no such thing as the perfect software, only the perfect software for your needs. It is important which software you choose because you are going to invest money in the software's license (and possibly professional training) and also time to learn how to use it. Professional training with qualified instructors is usually expensive for most.

You do not want to buy a software that is too complex and hard to learn because you risk frustrating yourself and eventually loosing interest. But you also do not want to buy a software that is to simple and technologically limited (lower quality results) because you run the risk of not achieving your full creative potential. The easier the 3D software is to learn and use the more you can focus on the artistic part of the process and less on the technical part. Thus the path from idea / concept / vision to materializing it is smoother and shorter.

I have tested some of these tools available on the market and did a review on my blog. I invite you to take a look.
