What is 3D Modeling?
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a virtual representation of an object in three dimensions via specialized software. These models can then be printed with a 3D printer. Many of these can also create 2D svg files for things like laser cutters.
Types of 3D Modeling Software
Types of 3D Modeling Software
There are many different types of software for 3D modeling, some are easier to use than others. Here are some quick summaries of the three. Click the blue buttons to go to their dedicated page.
- TinkerCAD is the easiest to use, and is well suited to beginners looking to learn how to do 3D modeling.
- 123D has more tools than TinkerCAD, but is more complex, if you've mastered TinkerCAD, 123D should be easy.
- Blender is the hardest to learn of the three, but is by far the most powerful. In addition to 3D modeling, Blender can create art, visual effects, physics simulations, and animation. It is even used for professional film development. Here is an example of an animation made almost entirely in blender.
