For many 3D modelers that are experienced in modeling, rendering, and animation, 3D optimization can be a daunting process – especially if you’re optimizing a 3D model for real-time application! A quick Google search of “how to optimize 3D files” will bring up a...
With over 1,000 tools and seemingly endless settings, the first time you open a 3D software, like Autodesk Maya or Blender, can be overwhelming. These software are notoriously complex. After all, they’re built to give 3D modelers freedom and creativity when designing...
All 3D modelers fear the dreaded “error message” followed by the software crashing and the possibility of losing valuable work. Whether it’s Maya or another 3D package, 3D software are built to handle large amounts of 3D data. However, as 3D files...
As a 3D modeler working in an architectural firm, you’re tasked with creating an interactive visualization of a new high-rise development to pitch to your client. As part of the client’s requirements, the visualization is going to include all the metadata...
All 3D modelers have been there – you receive a STEP file in .stp format from your engineering department or from a client, they want you to visualize it for simulations in Unity, or Unreal Engine. After converting the STEP file to polygon mesh, the file is so large...
Any 3D modeler that’s worked with engineering or architectural files knows the challenges for converting and optimizing CAD files for real-time visualizations like VR. Gary works in a 3D studio and helps develop VR and AR applications for different companies....
