3D Modeling PDF Print E-mail
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wireframe representation of any three-dimensional 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. 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.

Rhinoceros

A new 3-D free-form design medium for developing and communicating ideas, information, and emotions.
Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, or only an idea Rhinoceros provides the tools to accurately model your designs ready for rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing.

Only imagination and an ordinary Windows PC are needed. Rhino is a NURBS*
3-D modeler for Windows 95/98/NT with unique features:

  • Free-form 3-D curve, surface, and solid modeling tools. Rhino can model almost any shape imaginable.
  • Accuracy needed to design, prototype, engineer, analyze, and manufacture anything from aircraft to jewelry.
  • Compatibility with your other design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software. Direct 3-D digitizer support.
  • Accessible. So easy to learn and use that you can focus on design and visualization without being distracted by the software.
  • Fast, even on an ordinary laptop computer. No special hardware is needed.

* NURBS, Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines, are mathematical representations of 3-D geometry that can accurately describe any shape from a simple 2-D line, circle, arc, or curve to the most complex 3-D organic free-form surface or solid. Because of their flexibility and accuracy, NURBS models can be used in any process from illustration and animation to manufacturing.
