What does 3D animation modeling mean?

The whole 3D modeling process can be summarized as three steps:

The first step, modeling tools

There are many excellent modeling softwares in the market, such as 3DMAX, ArcGIS, Maya and AutoCAD. Usually they provide some basic geometric elements, such as cubes and spheres, and then construct complex geometric scenes through a series of geometric operations (translation, rotation, stretching, etc.). ).

The second step is effect editing.

Generally, when making ordinary 3D models, we always consider using the least number of faces to show the best effect. Add appropriate materials and textures to the model in turn, develop various maps such as UV, auxiliary colors and normals, create lighting effects to make the model finer and more realistic, set animation, and finally render and export.

The third step is to release visually.

After exporting the model and mapping materials, the last step is the visual display and formal release of the model, which is also the most important step to create the model and produce its value.

The fourth step is model processing.

Modelers will look for many tools to deal with 3D models, such as surface reduction, UV development, baking, format conversion and so on. In order to make the model smaller, at the same time, it can be displayed quickly without destroying its own effect.
