3d Modeling

Learn 3d Modeling skills for game design, animation, and 3d printing.

3d modeling is the process of using a computer to create a three-dimensional object in a simulated environment. 3d models can be used in game design, animations, for 3d printing and other applications.

There are several different 3d modeling programs available, we’ll try to cover as many as possible starting with Blender. We’ll use projects from our photography class to create materials and textures for our models and use the 3d models we create in this class in our game design and engineering classes.

Follow along with the classes or find a specific project, whatever helps with how you plan to use 3d modeling.

Other sources

3d modeling programs are improved and updated frequently and as the tools and abilities of those programs change its important to stay up to date on our knowledge of how to use them.

My background

I took college classes on how to 3d model with 3ds Max. After college I used tutorials on Youtube to teach myself how to use Blender. I’ve used my 3d modeling skills to create my own game assets and models for 3d printing.
