3D Modelling Introduction

____________ is a technique in computer graphics for producing a 3D digital representation of any object or surface.

• 3D Modelling

• 2D Animation

• 3D Animation

• 2D Graphics

An artist uses special software to manipulate points in virtual space. These points are called:

• Lines

• Vertices

• Vanishing Point

• Shapes

An artist uses special software to manipulate points in virtual space to form a a collection of vertices that form an object. This collection of vertices is called a ______.

• Line

• Intersection

• Mesh

• Vertex

3D modeling is used in a wide range of fields except:

• Engineering

• Entertainment and Film Special Effects

• Game development

• Commercial Advertising

• None of the above

This professional commercial software released in 1982 and is considered the gold standard by many designers. It's available for Windows and macOS operating systems.

• AutoCAD

• SketchPad

• Kinemaster

• Krita

__________is the industry standard in 3D modeling and animation.

If you were to take a 3D modelling course at a university this is probably the software you’d use. Most professional studios look for experience with it when hiring new talent, so any artist looking to break into the industry should seriously consider learning it.

• Blender

• Maya by Autodesk

• Adobe Flash or Animate

• Sketchpad

The learning curve of this software isn’t as steep as with Autodesk Maya and it supports a more streamlined integration with tools like Adobe After Effects, making it an excellent choice for those interested in motion graphics.

• Cinema 4

• Krita

• Paint Tool Sai

• Sketchup

_______is a free and open-source 3D modeling and animation program.

It comes with a robust toolset capable of producing professional-quality assets and animations. No price tag.

It's learning curve is quite steep, however, and the software is considered non-standard in the industry.

• Cinema 4

• Kinemaster

• Sketchup

• Blender

To start a 3d Modelling process, first one needs to know how to create _________ which are the basic shapes of a drawing, like a cube, a sphere or a plane.

• characters

• logos

• primitives

• designs

Part of the 3D workflow is the painstaking placement of individual ___________ to achieve the correct contour of the desired object.

• line

• point

• vertices

• form
