Introduction to 3D Modeling

3D modelling is used to shape many of the things we see in our everyday lives. From video games to architecture, we’ve all likely benefited from 3D modelling technology. 

3D modelling is the process of creating three-dimensional representations of an object or a surface. 3D models are made within computer-based 3D modelling software, which we’ll explore a little later. 

During the 3D modelling process, you can determine an object’s size, shape, and texture. The process works with points, lines, and polygons to create the 3D shapes within the software.

Designing and developing Digital Outcomes FOR DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

At the end of this topic students will have had the opportunity to cover;

• make decisions about creating, manipulating, storing, retrieving, sharing, and testing digital content for a specific purpose, given particular parameters, tools, and techniques PO2

• understand that digital devices impact on humans and society and that both the devices and their impact change over time PO2

• identify the specific role of components in a simple input-process-output system and how they work together, and they recognise the "control role” that humans have in the system PO2

• select from an increasing range of applications and file types to develop outcomes for particular purposes PO2

• follow a defined process to design, develop, store, test, and evaluate digital content to address given contexts or issues, taking into account immediate social, ethical, and end-user considerations PO3

• identify the key features of selected software and choose the most appropriate software and file types to develop and combine digital content PO3

• understand the role of operating systems in managing digital devices, security, and application software and are able to apply file management conventions using a range of storage devices PO3

• understand that with storing data comes responsibility for ensuring security and privacy PO3
