MODELING

TECHNIQUES
 CHOOSE SOFTWARE TOOLS
In our case we will be using
Autodesk 3Ds Max. Aside
there are variety of
commercialize software tools
we can use.

WHAT YOU  FAMILIARIES THE SOFTWARE


SHOULD DO NAVIGATIONS AND
VIEWPORTS
BEFORE YOU CREATING 3D ASSETS ? Most of 3D Software are
similar in nature, but have a
few difference on its default
navigations, viewports, and
shortcut keys.
POLYGONAL MODELING

 Basic technique of
3D Modeling

 3D Primitive
Shapes to
Complex Shapes.

 Mesh Editing
POLYGONAL MODELING

There are two main technique used Polygon Modeling

 EXTRUSION can be applied by BOX MODELING


(1) Collapsing faces to itself inwards TECHNIQUE
(2) Extending faces outwards

In Blender, extrusion can be applied using:


Extrude Region
 Extrude (E)
 Extrude Manifold (ALT + E)
POLYGONAL MODELING

 SUBDIVISION
A key to create a high resolution 3D Models
MORE FACES = HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS

In Blender, we have may ways to add


Subdivisions, here are the view
 Bevel
 Inset
 Loop Tool
 Knife
POLYGONAL MODELING

How to smoothen the sharp edge?


BEVEL
 Select the edge with sharp edges.
 Click Bevel (Ctrl + B) in the Toolbar.
 Look for the pop-up Bevel Setting.
 You can start be adjusting width,
segments, shape and maternal
index.

This one of a few ways on smoothen the edges. We also


have auto smooth but I, personal don’t want to suggest
it if are modeling architectural model. Otherwise, you
might use it on modeling human figures.
POLYGONAL MODELING

EDGE MODELING
 Initial Outline
 Fill and Bridge
 Commonly used in creating
Human 3D models
CURVE AND NURBS MODELING

 Also known as SPLINE modeling.


 Create curve surface using Control
Points.

NURBS
Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline

This type of technique is for


modeling a more organics assets
such as human model
CURVE AND NURBS MODELING

In Blender, we have Curve object and Surface object to apply this technique
CURVE AND NURBS MODELING

In curve modeling you most


likely working on adjusting:

 Control Points
 Spline
 Object Options
 Modifier

Further lessons about NURBS Modeling


will be posted on your LAB.
PROCEDURAL MODELING

Technique that can be utilized


in creating 3D Models and
Texture.

IT WORKS WITH A SETS OF


RULE. The rules are integrated within the
algorithm that can be configured.
PROCEDURAL MODELING

PARAMETRIC
MODELING
Can be considered application of the procedural
technique

In Blender, we use Modifiers


to apply procedural technique
PROCEDURAL MODELING

PRO
 Ensures all your elements
follow the same style and
working principles.
 Easy to scale up and down
the properties.

CONS
 Complex code is need for a
organic-looking object.
3D SCANNING

Laser Scanner to collect


multiple angles of a
real-life objects.

Cons:
MESSY GEOMETRY
Light Scanner is quite
expensive
3D SCANNING VS PHOTOGRAMETRY

PHOTOGRAMETRY
Photography rather than light.

PROS:
Camera of your Choice
Can provide a better texturing
Also considered as texturing technique

CONS:
Multi-camera provide greater
result.
DIGITAL SCULPTING

This technique usual applied


when polishing the 3D Assets.

Use to add more details on the


3D Assets.

Blender have its own sculpting


workspace. Otherwise, ZBrush is
one of the compatible 3D
Sculpting Software to Blender.
Check here if you are interested to know more about ZBrush.
DIGITAL SCULPTING
MODULAR
CONCEPTS
One good practice
is to reuse a certain
part of a model to
easy create
variations.
KIT BASHING
Combining and modified
a pre-made part module
to create a new 3D
model.

Some are applying this


technique to easy create
picture out their
intended 3D output
KEY POINTS

It is important to know what software you will be using in create 3D


Assets.

There are various modeling techniques we can utilize based on our


aiming 3D output, to easily create some might used more than one
technique.
