welcome to 3D Modeling

semester long course - 8 unitsNo Art Materials - All done on Blender or Edio announcement page has everything projects are required - you MUST use blender All Projects done in class Class M,W, &F To take this course, you must have passed Digital Art

what to expect

Steps of 3D Printing:

1. Create your concept
2. 3D Modeling
3. CAM Slicing
4. 3D Printing
5. Prototype

2d vs 3d

Two Dimensional (2d): triangles, circles, squares have two dimesions- length & width

Three Dimensional (3D): cones, pyramids, sphere, cubes hace three deimsions - length width & depth

2d vs 3d

Properties of a 3D Shape

• The face of a 3D shape is a flat surface. As you will learn, the surface of a 3D model is made up of hundreds of geometric faces.

• An edge is a straight line connecting two faces of a shape.

• A vertex (plural is vertices) is a corner of a shape, or a point where three or more edges intersect.

Polygon- straight sided 2D shape that has 3 or more sides

Polygon Modeling- process of turning 2D shapes into 3D model

Fundamentals of 3D modeling

NURBS Modeling - aka Non- uniform rational basis splines

Type of 3D model that uses math formulas to creates lines in a model. Highly accurate but time consuming

3D Modeling is CAD

CAD - Computer- Aided Design

3D printing is CAM

CAM - Computer- Aided Manufacturing

You spent 3 months drawing this and post it on instagram to share with your friends...

...shortly after...you see your drawing on a tote bag in Target...you didn't have anyone ask you if it was ok, no one gave you credit, and no one paid you...

...is this ok?

Does this Happen Often?

TWO BASIC MODELS

Surface Models

Solid Models

Only represents suface (or exterior)

Represents surface & volume ​

Complex structures built usinng mathmatical equations

Like a shell

SOLID MODEL

Used by engineering, manufacturing, and medical industries

• Mathmatically accurate models
• More complicated interiors
• Longer to render
• Not as focused on the aesthetic

SOLID MODEL

What is taking up all that space?

• Teeny tiny mesh structure
• Includes a lot of vertex points
• Longer to render

• Parametric- strict rules or perameters to build the model based on what the model is going to be used for

WE MADE IT THROUGH OUR FIRST TEST!

How are you feeling?

A surgeon is planning a Kidney transplant...

Do you think they'll use a Solid or SURFACE MODEL?

SURFACE MODEL

Used for games & animated movies

• Has less vertexes & information
• Can render quicker
• Appearance is more important than accuracy

Different types of

SURFACE MODELS

Polygon

*Shape with 3 or more edges

Wireframe

Does not include Faces

Low poly MODELS

Uses less polygons

How do these look?

Polygon is a shape that has 3 or more sides

High POLY MODELS

Uses more polygons

Polygon is a shape that has 3 or more sides

Which Do you prefer?

review

Surface model:

Low Poly Model:

• Used by animators
• Simple mesh
• Known as shell models

Includes polygon & wireframe

• Uses less polygons

Let's Review:

In the chat:

What primitives make up this robot?

Modeling Techniques

Parametric- follow specific mathmatical parameters (set of rules)

Polygonal- putting together 2D polygons to create 3D models

NURBS- (Non-uniform rational basis splines) uses mathematical forumulas to calculate surfaces

Digital Sculpting- pushing and pulling the model like clay

Parametric

follow specific mathmatical parameters (set of rules)

Why would a car engine need to be accurate?

True or False: Minecraft is polygonal

Polygonal

SCULPTING

pushing and pulling the model like clay

NURBS

• Buidling a 3D layout
• Creating a 3D model
• Applying a texture to 3D model

Production

Creating

Do you think the tree would look the same without texturing?

Post Production

After

Creating

• Lighting - adding lights
• Rendering - final assembled animation scenes or pieces out of the program
• Compositing - Editing each render output for settings like brightness, contrast, colors
• Color Correction - Adjusting darkness, brightness, color contrasts
