3D modeling has applications in many industries such as gaming, film, education, engineering, architecture, product design, and more. In gaming, early 3D games like Crash Bandicoot helped popularize the technology. Film uses 3D modeling for characters and scenes as well as motion capture. Education utilizes 3D printing of modeled objects. Engineering and architecture find 3D modeling useful for visualizing designs of vehicles, buildings, and structures before construction.

1. APPLICATIONS OF 3D

2. GAMES
 One of the first 3D
games that was released
was crash Bandicoot
which was on the PS1.
originally exclusive to the
Sony PlayStation, was
created by Andy Gavin
and Jason Rubin during
their tenure at Naughty
Dog for Sony Computer
Entertainment.

3. GAMES
 Here is a image of 3D
modelling from the game
“Mass effect 3” which
shows a 3D model of a
reaper. This shows how
much detail goes into one
model in new games but
even this game is now
fairly dated as it was
released 2 years ago

4. TV
 The first T V to produce images
was designed by German
university student in 1884
which included a spinning disk
with a variety holes spiralling
towards the centre, The holes
were spaced at equal angular
intervals such that, in a single
rotation, the disk would allow
light to pass through each hole
and onto a light-sensitive
selenium sensor which
produced the electrical pulses.

5. FILM
 The first image is from
the Roundhay Garden
scene the worlds earliest
recorded using one of the
first motion picture
camera by Louis Le
Prince 1888. and was
most likely filmed with
16mm spring wound
Bolex “H16” reflex
camera.

6. FILM (MOTION CAPTURE)
 The latest version of
motion sensors is where
small sensors are placed
all over a person’s body
to sense movement and
expression of the actor,
this is known to be used
from Peter Jackson
famous film trilogy “The
Lord of the Rings” where
the actor who plays
Smeagol.

7. FILMS
 Here are a couple of
images of the 2009 hit
“Avatar” which shows
the complexity of the 3D
models that were made
including the Navi and
the huge Mechs.

8. EDUCATION
 3D modelling in
education is used mostly
for creating models
which are printed to
make 3D models like for
example the cube is
designed on a software,
is then flattened and
printed out, this is then
cut out and connected
together

9. WEB
 Web design is used a lot for
programs like Google sketch
up and are able to build
structures.

10. MEDICINE
 3D modelling is used in
medical situations to xray the skeleton to show
any faults or to either
create new formulas in
medicines this is
extremely useful for
medical advancement.

11. MATHEMATICS
 Mathematics plays a big
in 3d modelling as it the
programmers the
guidelines to create 3D
models. As you can see
on this model there is a
various amount of
polygons to create a
model of a man’s face.

12. ENGINEERING
 3D modelling plays a
massive role in engineering
as it allows for example
cars to be designed before
construction which is a big
help so they can see
whether the actual vehicle
will run. Also it is used
building schematics to
show how a building will be
built and if the structures
will hold together.

13. ARCHITECTURE
 Architects find 3D
modelling extremely as it
allows them to plan
building schematics and
to show a better idea on
how it would look like in
its finished state.

14. PRODUCT DESIGN
 The 3D modelling is very
helpful for product design as
it gives designers visual
aspect of new products they
produce. And after the
founding of 3D printers many
paintings and other various
things are able to print 3D
models of the items.
