3d modeling begins with a simple form and is developed through out many hours and a lot of work, most of the time 2d modeling would be used in graphic design (and 3d animation), which you would usually see in the games, movies etc you see today, not only games but research has shown the 3d modeling has been used for the medical field, the 3d models are used to create things, such as: organs, bone structures, they are used to teach anatomy to any new medical students, and learn everything about the shape, form, etc.
so really 3D modeling has become so popular this generation, that it is being used in almost everything, everywhere.
allow me to name some of the different industries in which 3D modeling are used:
* Entertainment - One of the most obvious places you can see the use of 3D modeling growing is in the entertainment field. mostly every single film these days which are made in Hollywood, will have included some sort of 3D modeling, or technology in that sort of path, the 3D modeling is usually used to add certain effects to the area or costume, or to create different types of computer graphic images (CGI) which is very popular it can be used to add or removes certain detail for a movie or film/ tv show.
* Gaming - video games are becoming more realistic. Whether it’s destroying aliens or driving animated automobiles at speed much higher than most mere mortals drive, due to the fact that 3D modeling has become popular and is now being used in almost every game that has been made this generation. because of the 3d modeling and the realism, everything seems to feel like another life inside a console, the props, characters and scenes are becoming very life like.
* Architecture - (researched) 3D modeling is usually used he for rendering blueprints of buildings or structures, it is mainly used to add realism and detail to get a better idea of what you are doing with the blue prints, it gives it a more realistic projection.
there are many more of these industries, how ever all these seem to have a realistic image/ realism in common, people don't usually want things that seem unrealistic these days, so the more real things seem, the better it will have an affect on the people around.
an example i could use for a comparison of 3D modeling could first be, blizzard, the makers of world of warcraft, blizzard have used 3D modeling to create a game which has slight spots of realism in it, which what makes this game and it's graphics, unique and interesting, due to the fact almost every game industry uses 3d modeling now, blizzard has caught on to using it as well creating W.O.W which is a very popular game across the world, the 3D modeling software which was used, was not only to create the very realistic anatomy and detail of the characters, but also the design and lay out of each and every area of world of warcraft, e.g. the city known as orgrimar - been shown to have quite alot of deatil in it, the houses/ huts look slightly realistic, the way in which the detail was put actually makes the buildings look like wood/stone, other details such as the cloth on flags, the metal for certain constructions in the cities all look well made and kind of realistic and not cartoonish in any way, that was just an example.
(description of the picture - i chose this picture as one of my examples for explaining 3d modeling for world of Warcraft, because you can see mostly everything i pointed out, such as the character anatomy, this is just the character customization page but as you can see 3d modeling has been able to put in so much detail in the clothing and the skin to make unique styles in which the player can become accustom to, to enjoy the game, also the detail in the back ground, 3d modeling has been able to give us the knowledge on how to create such effects, such as the rocks and grass, the mountains, the small wooden pillar/ statues in the background, it gives it all a sense of realism)
Another example which can be used can be from a film, such as brave a film made by disney/ pixar. an industry known to have started off from cartoon like projects and began to build up to using 3D modeling sofware, other examples could include:* montsers inc
* how to train your dragon
* the incredibles
like with a gaming industry, the 3d modeling software is not only used for character and character design, but it is also for the setting, detail on buildings etc, basically, the 3D modeling makes it all come alive, so like WOW as i said before, the stone buildings look kinda realistic with all the detail, the way things flow like flags or clothes, the way that they move to suit wind patterns etc. this is mainly what 3D modeling softwares are for in these types of industries
(description of the picture - this is just a shot from a scene of the movie Brave, i chose this picture as one of my examples of showing the use of 3D modeling in the making of films. lets start off with the character, with the use of 3d modeling the detail of her hair was added, you can see how lifelike 3D modeling has made her hair and also facial colour and features, this gives it a very realistic but still cartoonish look, as also like on the WOW picture, i will also mention about settings and props, you can't see much of the setting but with the 3D modeling soft ware, the detail on the stone floors and the wood detail on chairs and tables have been added, also again to add the effect of realism, then the props, again the 3D modeling effect adds realism to the food, adding shadings, cuts, how big or small they are, rounded edges different textures etc, which once again makes films like these become more alive and become more attachable to us as we are use to the 3D effect of things now)
