Alyssa Rose provides an overview of 3D modeling, beginning with a brief history of sculpture from ancient civilizations to the 20th century. The document then discusses the early history of 3D modeling, including milestones like the first CAD system in 1959 and Ivan Sutherland's PhD thesis on 3D graphics in 1963. Seven common 3D modeling processes are outlined: box modeling, edge modeling, NURBS modeling, digital sculpting, procedural modeling, image-based modeling, and 3D scanning. The document concludes by stating Alyssa's interests in digital sculpting and character creation.
