Welcome Message

Hello and welcome to my blogger page; In my blog I will be sharing all the work I have done for this unit. On this blogger page I will be sharing, all the models that I have created and produced for my 3D Modelling unit. Within this blog page I will also be publishing my proposal, evaluation, tools and techniques that have gained, I will also be posting assignments and essays that I have produced for this unit.

3D Models and animation sweeps across from different markets and industries, becoming a popular visualisation and advertising trend. They are created so that designers can present their ideas to a client, manufacturer or they can be designed for mock-ups and prototypes. When presenting ideas to a client, 3D models are a useful way to showcase what they expect to achieve.

Product Design

Using 3D models for product design is useful to explain and present ideas fro products in front of a client. Using 3D modelling software allows you to develop skills and design your own product from scratch, you can choose the size and general feel of the product. It is a very useful way of presenting an idea for a product as it can be viewed from any angle and also with the use of it being on a computer screen you can change anything that doesn’t look quite right, this could be from re-sizing the product to completely re arranging the colour scheme and shape.

Animations

3D modelling is used a lot for animation purposes; this could be from making a character to making a text or product spin so the viewer can see all angles. Even the most boring of visuals can be brought to life with the use of 3D modelling, which is why a lot of animations are used in all sorts of programmes, adverts and films. The use of 3D animation can be applied to any field or industry, marketing teams use 3D animations to showcase presentations and demonstrate a product.  By Using 3D animations and modelling creations, it can be used for explaining what something could look like without writing ideas on paper, it can also be used to give a client more of an insight of what he/she can be expecting by using 3D modelling to make the client get into a creative and imaginative mind-set. Professionals use 3D modelling and animation and find it is a useful tool for a variety of purposes

TV and Film

The use of 3D modelling in TV and Film industry is used for many tv programmes and films, 3D models are mainly used for movies, TV programming and advertising reels.  3D Models and 3D animation in the film making industry are used now more than ever before , Pixars ‘Toy Story’ came out in 1995, since then there have been many films used with 3D modelling and is now branching into fields as diverse as medicine, gaming, and also for promotional and advertising purposes.

Architectural walkthrough

The use of 3D modelling in architecture is one of the widest application fields of 3D modelling and it is used for advertising and promotional purposes. The use of 3D Modelling has changed the way the market now sees construction; this meaning that architectural design is expanding visions, reducing time for presentations and minimizing flaws; today technology is so advanced that 3D animation and 3D modelling is used to get an even bigger insight of what could be built in the construction and architectural industry. 3D modelling is used for these purposes as the techniques used save time when constructing a plan and also showcases what the finished product would look like after being built, which gives the people an insight of what to expect before any construction even starts. The advantages of using 3D modelling for architecture is that you can gain immaculate visualisation for the product, understand the different types of textual patterns within a building, can be used as an effective promotion to the public, and have an effective architectural walkthroughs and virtual tours. Technology is getting more and more advanced, the combination of the software used for 3D Modelling and professional architects is useful to everyone as with the use of advanced technology, modern structural buildings can be built from the software used for 3D modelling.

Web and games

3D Modelling is becoming a trend for the web design and the gaming industry. Gaming is a huge industry and soley relies on the competence of 3D models and animations to be at its best. Almost every game is built using 3D models and the most modern games are interactive and highly engaging as every model is almost life-like. Technology is improving constantly so every time a new game is released, the graphics and use of 3D models are improved massively.

Scientific imaging/Education

In the field of medicine, 3D animation and models are used for training, educational and is also a useful tool for scientists and surgeons. The use of 3D modelling in medicine is likely to be one of the most important uses of techniques the industry uses, information can be easily transmitted through this and visualising a problem with the human body would be much more useful to exam through than it would on paper. Today, computer technology allows medical illustrators to create virtual three-dimensional medical models, using 3D models is a suitable way to teach others about the human body in the medicine and the scientific industry. It is a practical way of teaching an amateur everything they need to know by using visuals like 3D models, it can be used as a way of teaching as well as using it for a variety of purposes within this industry.

In conclusion, the use of 3D Modelling is useful to the majority of different industries, it is an effective piece of software that is widely used for all purposes and can produce realistic products. The final product all comes down to the great minds of professional animators that are advanced in 3D modelling, technology is rapidly improving over time, the future of architectural designs, animation, TV and film will carry on improving and changing making the 3D modelling industry a massive part in technology.

Unit 66/Sketches

Below are the sketches i designed before producing my 3D modelling, I sketched these images before starting to create the models to help give me an idea of where to start and also what I wish the finished product to look like.
