3D modeling is a highly versatile and rewarding discipline that offers significant opportunities in industries such as gaming, animation, architecture, and product design. 3D modeling is the process of creating a three-dimensional representation of an object or surface using specialized software. The term “3D” stands for three dimensions—height, width, and depth—allowing models to have realistic shapes and perspectives, much like objects in the physical world. For novices, a strong grasp of fundamental principles and techniques is critical. This guide is specifically designed to introduce entry-level methodologies, providing a comprehensive foundation in 3D modeling. It aims to familiarize learners with essential software tools and facilitate the development of core competencies through practical application and fundamental operations.
