3D Modeling
3D Modeling
We live in a three-dimensional world, so any object around us can become an object of 3D modeling – it is only a matter of intention. While 2D modeling has been used for many centuries by architects and designers, the new era of 3D visualization and modeling has arrived to change professionals’ perceptions of detailing and realism.
Thus, interior/exterior designers and architects are now increasingly resorting to the use of 3D models for a variety of purposes: to capture the object better by seeing it in 3D form, to approach it from various angles for more informed design decisions, and to experiment with the object’s modifications in real time for selecting the best design options.
3D modeling is also highly valuable as a pre-production prototyping technique since it provides boundless opportunities for seamless experimentation with form, texture, colorway, materials, and other characteristics of the product before launching the actual production. Thus, with 3D modeling, you can try numerous designs and come up with the optimal design without leaving the studio and with only 3D modeling software as a resource at hand.
What is a 3D Model?
One of the basic points of studying 3D technologies is a complete understanding of the 3D modeling process. This is the cornerstone of all three-dimensional techniques, and first of all, it is necessary to clarify what a 3D model is.
A 3D model is a three-dimensional digital image of the required object, both real and fictional. To create 3D models, there is a special software for 3D product modeling. The functionality of such programs may differ slightly. For example, there are programs focused on designing engineering 3D models. There is software directly for modeling organic objects, as well as applications for 3D visualization and animation. In fact, the software does not have a strict classification, but most applications contain certain functions aimed at performing specific tasks.
What is 3D Modeling?
3D modeling is the process of creating a 3D image of the required object in digital format. Depending on the specific goals, the requirements for product modeling may differ. That is, in the development of computer games, the same laws of building 3D models are applied, which may not be needed when creating 3D models for 3D printing.
The process of 3D modeling typically involves manipulating digital elements to define the shape, texture, color, and other visual attributes of the 3D model. This process allows 3D designers, artists, engineers, and various professionals to visualize, analyze, and communicate their ideas in a digital format.
Types of 3D Modeling
1. 3D Modeling Services According to the Description
A custom 3d model from a description is usually created when the object does not yet exist or it needs to be modeled with adjustments. Then the most detailed description of the future object is created, taking into account all the wishes of the customer, expectations of potential buyers, and requirements for quality and functionality.
2. Development Process of 3D Models Based on Photography
Making 3d models from a photo is much easier and faster than, according to the description. A minimum amount of raw data: three photos in the best possible quality (view from above, front and side).
3. 3D Modeling According to the Drawing
Creating a 3d model from a drawing is the most accurate way of 3d modeling. Because the drawing contains all the necessary data regarding dimensions and construction itself.
Application of 3D Modeling
The application of 3D modeling has many areas. The main ones are worth listing. You can develop a 3D model for anything.
3D product modeling is widely used, and it is no joke!
- real estate industry
- in the development of computer games
- as one of the stages of 3D visualization
- augmented reality products
- for a preliminary assessment of the technical properties of the designed product
- virtual reality projects
- interior and exterior design
- in the preparation of samples for 3D printing
- product promotion
- to create product prototypes.
Some Examples of Different Industries the 3D Modeling is Applied in
1. Advertising and Marketing
3D graphics are indispensable in the presentation of the future product. In order to start production, it is necessary to draw and then create a 3D model of the object. And already on the basis of the 3D model, with the help of rapid prototyping technologies (3D printing, milling, casting of silicone molds, etc.), a realistic prototype (sample) of the future product is created.
After visualization (3D visualization), the resulting image can be used in the development of packaging design or for the creation of outdoor advertising, POS materials, and the design of exhibition stands.
2. 3D Animation
With the help of 3D graphics, you can create an animated character, “make” him move, and also, by designing complex animated scenes, create a full-fledged animated video.
3. Urban Planning
With the help of 3D graphics, the most realistic modeling of urban architecture and landscapes is achieved with minimal costs. Visualization of building architecture and landscape design enables investors and architects to feel the effect of presence in the designed space. This allows you to objectively assess the advantages of the project and eliminate the shortcomings.
4. Architecture and Interior Design
3D modeling technology in architectural design has long shown itself from the best side. Today, the creation of a three-dimensional model of a building is an inevitable attribute of design. Based on the 3D model, you can create a prototype of the building. The prototype can repeat only the general outlines of the building or be a detailed assembly model of the future building.
As for interior design, with the help of 3D modeling technology, the target audience can see how their home or office will look after the renovation or building.
5. Computer Games
3D technology in the creation of computer games has been used for more than ten years. In professional programs, experienced specialists manually draw 3D landscapes, and character models, animate created 3D objects and characters, virtual reality, and also create concept art (concept designs).
Recently, 3D modeling has been a mandatory stage of the production process, as it allows an evaluation of the designed samples in detail. In the future, such a 3D model will be useful for the production of prototypes and models of the products being created.

Workflow of 3D Modeling Services at VisEngine
- To commence the process, we initiate by gathering essential information from the client. This includes comprehensive dimensions, photographs, references, and initial drafts.
- Subsequently, we generate a low-poly model that is presented in neutral gray materials. At this juncture, we also incorporate appropriate lighting into the image.
- If necessary, adjustments are implemented based on the client’s assessment of a reference image. Following this, we proceed to enhance finer intricacies. Our 3D team of experts meticulously works on refining surfaces, depth of prominence, joint sizes, and numerous other critical details.
- During this phase, a thorough inspection is conducted to ensure alignment of the product’s shape with the provided photograph. Should any discrepancies surface, we backtrack and effect necessary alterations.
- In the culminating stage, we apply materials and textures to the product, elevating its realism and authenticity.
- The end result is a collection of lifelike, highly-detailed 3D product models that our clients can readily utilize to their advantage.
