About 3D modeling

 

3D models represent a 3D object using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. Being a collection of data, 3D models can be created by hand, algorithmically (procedural modeling), or scanned.

3D models are widely used anywhere in 3D graphics. Actually, their use predates the widespread use of 3D graphics on personal computers. Many computer games used pre-rendered images of 3D models as sprites before computers could render them in real-time .Read more >>

The beginner 3D modeling workshop is part of Tumo's core program. It gives students a first glimpse at creating three-dimensional models using industry standard tools.

Using Autodesk Maya, workshop participants learn about modeling techniques and build their first three-dimensional character or object over the course of four weeks using tool such as extrude, shape editing and polygon.

In the next level of the 3D modeling workshop students will work with more complex models and will learn how to manipulate camera angles, lighting and textures.

The following are some examples of models produced by students during the workshop.
