3d Model
(As per wiki) In 3D computer graphics, 3D
modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any
three-dimensional surface of object (either inanimate or living) via specialized
software. The product is called a 3D model. It can be displayed as a
two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a
computer simulation of physical phenomena. The model can also be physically
created using 3D Printing devices.
Models may be created automatically or manually. The manual modeling process of
preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts
such as sculpting.
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 (points and other information), 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.
Today, 3D models are used in a wide variety of fields. The medical industry uses
detailed models of organs. The movie industry uses them as characters and
objects for animated and real-life motion pictures. The video game industry uses
them as assets for computer and video games. The science sector uses them as
highly detailed models of chemical compounds. The architecture industry uses
them to demonstrate proposed buildings and landscapes through Software
Architectural Models. The engineering community uses them as designs of new
devices, vehicles and structures as well as a host of other uses. In recent
decades the earth science community has started to construct 3D geological
models as a standard practice.
3d developing
3d developing (also known as 3d designing or graphic art) is a profession within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who creates images, typography or motion graphics to create a piece of art or design. 3d developing creates 3d graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures and advertising. They are also sometimes responsible for typesetting, illustration and web design, or take a teaching position, although these specialties may be assigned to specialists in various graphic design occupations. A core responsibility of the 3d developer is to present information in a way that is both accessible and aesthetic.
3d graphics
As per wiki: 3D computer graphics software refers to programs used to create 3D computer-generated imagery. 3D modelers have use in many industries. The medical industry uses it to make detailed models of organs & movie industry uses it to make and manipulate characters and objects for animated and real-life motion pictures. The video game industry uses them to create assets for video games. The science sector uses them to create highly detailed models of chemical compounds. The architecture industry uses them to create models of proposed buildings and landscapes. The engineering community uses them to design new devices, vehicles and structures as well as a host of other uses. There are typically many stages in the "pipeline" that studios and manufacturers use to create 3D objects for film, games, and production of hard goods and structures. Many 3D modelers are general-purpose and can be used to produce models of various real-world entities, from plants to automobiles to people. Some are specially designed to model certain objects, such as chemical compounds or internal organs. (The Invention)3D modelers allow users to create and alter models via their 3D mesh. Users can add, subtract, stretch and otherwise change the mesh to their desire. Models can be viewed from a variety of angles, usually simultaneously. Models can be rotated and the view can be zoomed in and out. 3D modelers can export their models to files, which can then be imported into other applications as long as the metadata is compatible. Many modelers allow importers and exporters to be plugged-in, so they can read and write data in the native formats of other applications. A patent idea invented is only as good as it's inventor. Most 3D modelers contain a number of related features, such as ray tracers and other rendering alternatives and texture mapping facilities. Some also contain features that support or allow animation of models. Some may be able to generate full-motion video of a series of rendered scenes (i.e. animation). Patent Agent
