Что делать в первую очередь, что потом? Как правильно делегировать?

Как не сорвать сроки проекта?

Как делать проекты чужими руками?

Никто не сделает лучше меня! Как проконтролировать?

Как найти ответственного специалиста, чтобы не сорвать сроки?

Наверное, каждый дизайнер мечтает о том, как он делает наброски на листочке, а кто-то эти идеи воплощает в жизнь под вашим контролем.

Все эти вопросы задавал себе и другим когда-то и я, сидя за компьютером по 15-20 часов в сутки, делая рендеры. Был период, когда это мне безумно нравилось. Но, когда начались проекты более серьезные, визуализация отошла на второй план по степени «интересности». Передо мной стал вопрос «Как не делать все самому, а передавать визуализацию в надежные руки?».

Я нашел способ безопасно делегировать 3D визуализацию, не срывая сроки проекта и не тратя время на огромное количество переделок. Конечно, работая с фрилансерами, сроки бывало, что срывались. Но со временем выработалась схема работы (которую я подсматривал у других «могучих дизайнеров»).

Эту  пошаговую схему я решил дать тем дизайнерам, которые только начинают путь делегирования и задумываются о том, чтобы передавать визуализацию в надежные руки. Также эта схема будет полезна тем, кто уже делегирует визуализацию своих проектов. В этой статье, я расскажу, как делать проекты, значительно сэкономив время.

Пошаговая схема делегирования проекта 3D визуализатору

Очень важно делать работу поэтапно, согласовывая каждый этап, чтобы уложиться в сроки и получить нужный вам результат. Итак, начнем воплощать мечты в жизнь и приступим к изучению пошаговой схемы работы с визуализаторами:

 

Задание на моделинг

Моделинг — это геометрия. Если вы работали в 3D Max, то вы знаете, о чем идет речь. Материалы и свет на этом этапе не важны. Важно получить объем. Нам нужна картинка. Она может быть черно-белая с эффектом v-ray toon, например, как на фото ниже: 

Если вы не работали в 3D Max и просто хотите начать делегировать. Вам не обязательно знать все эти термины программы. Вы просто даете задание и показываете, что на первом этапе хотите получить.

Поговорим о том, как создавать задание на моделинг для визуализатора: 

• Основная суть задания — сделать так, чтобы визуализатор вас четко понял и сделал так, как вы задумали. Что для этого можно использовать. У вас уже должен быть обмерный план со всеми размерами помещения и план расстановки мебели. Это та информация, по которой визуализатор сможет сделать саму «коробку» помещения. 
• Для того, чтобы показать наполнение комнаты (сам дизайн) необходимы либо наброски от руки, либо схематичное обозначения того, что и где будет стоять и какой формы + прикрепленные изображения. 
• Для того, чтобы наброски от руки и схемы были понятны, лучше всего прикладывать изображения уже реализованных проектов, в качестве примера того, что вы имеете ввиду.

Пример ТЗ на моделинг ниже:

После того, как будут готовы черно-белые эскизы их можно показать клиенту для согласования «геометрии пространства». Такие картинки очень даже сойдут за качественные эскизы. Если эскизы уже утверждены, значит показывать не обязательно. Если визуализатор вас понял правильно, приступаем к следующему этапу. Если нет, то говорим, где поправить. Поправки в V-ray toon делаются не долго. Поэтому на следующий, или даже в этот же день, вы получите исправленные эскизы.

Задание на визуализацию

Второй этап — задание на визуализацию. На этом этапе у вас уже должны быть подобраны материалы или готова концепция, где какие материалы будут использоваться. Задание можно выдавать в форме коллажа, можно списком. Список обычно выглядит у меня, как: диван — материал такой-то (ссылка), и т.д..

Пример коллажа: 

Лучше всего показывать свойство материала, а именно глянцевость, матовость на примере реализованных объектов. Лучше всего иметь при себе базу картинок с различными интерьерами, чтобы без труда найти похожую на вашу задумку. 

На этом же этапе визуализатор настраивает освещение. Очень важно обозначить визуализатору, если в вашем дизайне есть световые эффекты, цвет и форму свечения на примере опять же похожих изображений. Грамотный визуализатор играет с освещением таким образом, чтобы картинка была объемная. Что это значит?

Не нужно включать все источники света одновременно, таким образом картинка станет плоская и игры свето-тени практически не будет.  Важно включать те источники, где естественное освещение из окна не попадает, то есть в темных участках. Так картинка получается живая и контрастная. 

Итак, после того, как мы выдали задание на визуализацию, мы ждем предварительных изображений не высокого разрешения (можно 1500х1000 или 1200х800) с минимальными настройками, но так, чтобы мы смогли уже увидеть предварительный результат.

Эти предварительные изображения можно показать клиенту для согласования и внести корректировки. 

Финальные изображения

После того, как вы внесли поправки и получили нужный результат, согласованный с клиентом. Можно финалить результат с картинками большого разрешения и хорошими настройками. Рендер таких изображений идет дольше, чем предварительные приблизительно в 2 раза.

Минимальный размер изображения, для печати на формате А4 — 3000 х 2000 пикселей. 

 

Вот я и рассказал 3 основных этапах, по которым можно успешно сделать визуализацию вашего проекта. Успешно, в моем понимании, — это вовремя, высокого качества и, когда результат полностью соответствует и, возможно даже, превосходит ожидания.

В завершение напишу несколько вещей, о которых важно договориться с визуализатором еще ДО начала работы:

 

• важно договориться о последовательности этапов;
• о сроках с визуализатором лучше договариваться по каждому этапу, а именно, что будет готово сегодня, что завтра, что послезавтра;
• размер изображения должен быть в соотношении 1,5, то есть 1500 х 1000, 3000 х 2000 и т.д. — этот формат по пропорциям схож с форматом листа А4;
• оплату визуализатору можно сделать либо поэтапную, либо 50% предоплаты и 50% в конце. Не оплачивайте 100%, так вы лишаете мотивации человека работать в срок, т.к. он получил все свои деньги. Но если это профессионал, ценящий свою репутацию и любящий свое дело, — его основная мотивация будет сделать качественный результат.

 

 

Надеюсь, что моя статья была для вас полезна, желаю вам интересных проектов и ответственных помощников в этом нелегком деле. Подписывайтесь на наш блог о дизайне и визуализации. Получайте полезные советы, которые помогут вам в работе.

Программа для фотореалистичной 3d визуализации интерьера. Программы для визуализации интерьера

16.01.2018

В прошлом архитекторы, используя профессиональные чернильные ручки — рапидографы, создавали уникальные строительные проекты на специальных наклонных досках, установленных вертикально под углом. Подобная кропотливая работа требовала максимум внимательности, терпения и идеальной точности в расчётах. Эпоха глобальной компьютеризации позволила по-другому взглянуть на деятельность в области визуального проектирования. Программы для визуализации интерьера ознаменовали прорыв в области архитектурного дизайна, облегчив жизнь миллионам специалистов на планете.

Обзор посвящен трем самым популярным программным продуктам 3-D дизайна. В списке представлены программы для моделирования и визуализации интерьера, получившие широкое распространение среди профессионалов:

• Cinema 4D;
• Google ScketchUp;
• 3Ds Max.

Пользователю предоставляется выбор: , либо, оценив характеристики представленных программ, создавать собственные уникальные проекты.

Популярный пакет для производства анимации и трехмерной графики

Наиболее привлекательным для российских дизайнеров является универсальный пакет — интерьера, программа Cinema 4D от ведущего производителя по созданию трехмерной анимации, графики и других спецэффектов, — компании MAXON Computer GmbH. Преимущества продукта успели оценить миллионы пользователей:

• обладает простым доступным интерфейсом;
• хранит множество разнообразных «заготовок», позволяющих использовать готовые анимации, встроенные картинки, расширенные шейдеры, а не создавать объекты «с нуля»;
• имеет встроенную русифицированную поддержку;
• может работать со сторонними рендерами. Самым востребованным является Cinema 4D Vray — универсальная система рендеринга, зарекомендовавшая себя во всех сферах профессиональной визуализации;
• присутствует 10 дополнительных модулей: симуляция динамики мягких и твердых тел, управление частицами при помощи нодовой системы, формирование волюметрических (объемных) эффектов (солнечные лучи, пыль, дождь) и другие. Система обладает отличной совместимостью со сторонними программами, такими как Adobe After Effects, ArchiCad.

Cinema 4D — лучшая программа для визуализации интерьера, по мнению специалистов из различных сфер профессионального дизайна, архитектуры и строительного проектирования.

Google ScketchUp — моделирование простых трехмерных объектов

Программа для создания визуализации интерьера вкупе с рендером Google ScketchUp Vray позволяет быстро и качественно проектировать трехмерные строительные объекты, мебель и другие элементы в дизайне помещений.
Превосходно подходит для визуализации предметов в архитектуре, наружной рекламе, ландшафтном дизайне, инженерном проектировании, а также при моделировании объектов для печати на 3D – принтере.
Основной недостаток заключается в ограниченности решения более сложных задач, при которых, затруднительно, либо невозможно:

• построить модели, имеющие сложные конструктивные элементы;
• придать естественную кривизну объектам;
• создать достоверную детализацию.

3D-моделирование и визуализация

Определение понятий «3D-моделирование» и «визуализация»

Трехмерная графика или 3D-моделирование – компьютерная графика, сочетающая в себе приемы и инструменты, необходимые для создания объемных объектов в техмерном пространстве.

Под приемами стоит понимать способы формирования трехмерного графического объекта – расчет его параметров, черчение «скелета» или объемной не детализированной формы; выдавливание, наращивание и вырезание деталей и т.д.

А под инструментами — профессиональные программы для 3D-моделирования. В первую очередь – SolidWork, ProEngineering, 3DMAX, а также некоторые другие программы для объемной визуализации предметов и пространства.

Объемный рендеринг – это создание двухмерного растрового изображения на основе построенной 3d-модели. По своей сути, это максимально реалистичное изображение объемного графического объекта.

Области применения 3D-моделирования:

• Реклама и маркетинг

Трехмерная графика незаменима для презентации будущего изделия. Для того, чтобы приступить к производству необходимо нарисовать, а затем создать 3D-модель объекта. А, уже на основе 3D-модели, с помощью технологий быстрого прототипирования (3D-печать, фрезеровка, литье силиконовых форм и т.д.), создается реалистичный прототип (образец) будущего изделия.

После рендеринга (3D-визуализации), полученное изображение можно использовать при разработке дизайна упаковки или при создании наружной рекламы, POS-материалов и дизайна выставочных стендов.

• Городское планирование

С помощью трехмерной графики достигается максимально реалистичное моделирование городской архитектуры и ландшафтов – с минимальными затратами. Визуализация архитектуры зданий и ландшафтного оформления дает возможность инвесторам и архитекторам ощутить эффект присутствия в спроектированном пространстве. Что позволяет объективно оценить достоинства проекта и устранить недостатки.

• Промышленность

Современное производство невозможно представить без допроизводственного моделирования продукции. С появлением 3D-теxнологий производители получили возможность значительной экономии материалов и уменьшения финансовых затрат на инженерное проектирование. С помощью 3D-моделирования дизайнеры-графики создают трехмерные изображения деталей и объектов, которые в дальнейшем можно использовать для создания пресс-форм и прототипов объекта.

• Компьютерные игры

Технология 3D при создании компьютерных игр используется уже более десяти лет. В профессиональных программах опытные специалисты вручную прорисовывают трехмерные ландшафты, модели героев, анимируют созданные 3D-объекты и персонажи, а также создают концепт-арты (концепт-дизайны).

Вся современная киноиндустрия ориентируется на кино в формате 3D. Для подобных съемок используются специальные камеры, способные снимать в 3D-формате. Кроме того, с помощью трехмерной графики для киноиндустрии создаются отдельные объекты и полноценные ландшафты.

• Архитектура и дизайн интерьеров

Технология 3д-моделирования в архитектуре давно зарекомендовала себе с наилучшей стороны. Сегодня создание трехмерной модели здания является незаменимым атрибутом проектирования. На основании 3d модели можно создать прототип здания. Причем, как прототип, повторяющий лишь общие очертания здания, так и детализированную сборную модель будущего строения.+

Что же касается дизайна интерьеров, то, с помощью технологии 3d-моделирования, заказчик может увидеть, как будет выглядеть его жилище или офисное помещение после проведения ремонта.

С помощью 3D-графики можно создать анимированного персонажа, «заставить» его двигаться, а также, путем проектирования сложных анимационных сцен, создать полноценный анимированный видеоролик.

90000 Free 3D Modeling Software 90001 90002 Just a decade ago, being a visualization artist meant investing thousands of dollars into expensive, proprietary modeling software that was the only way to be considered a professional in the industry. There were some low or no cost options, but they either did not fit the bill in terms of usability, or the left a massive «student version» watermark on anything you tried to render, export, or print. 90003 90002 Today, thanks to a few savvy developers and a sturdy community of users, there are more than a few capable 3D modeling programs that are 100% free.90003 90002 And while you still might consider investing in software that can take your 3D visualization skills to the next level, the programs on this list are the best way to try new things, or springboard a career change into the profession. The following free 3D modeling software is representative of an industry that has outgrown the shackles that once tied it to only a few monopolized programs to get it by. 90003 90008 1 | SketchUp 90009 90002 Few 3D modeling programs are as approachable and easy to understand as SketchUp.In fact, many designers and architects are encouraging their clients to download the program so they might better understand the design of their project on their own time. And when you are comfortable handing the keys of the car over to the client, you know it must be completely idiot proof to drive. 90003 90002 SketchUp’s base software has been free ever since it was first developed. You will not be able to perform the most complex modeling tasks, but for architects and interior designers, everything you need is immediately at your fingertips.SketchUp is fast, effective, and most importantly, free! 90003 90008 2 | Blender 90009 90002 Unlocking the power of Blender’s modeling tools will not be as easy to initially grasp. However, once you do, you’ll be able to create detailed, and highly complex 3D models and meshes that rank up there with some of the more expensive modeling programs. Blender is an open-source, free-to-play 3D modeler and renderer that has been in constant refinement by the developers and the user base since it was released over a decade ago.90003 90002 If you take the time to understand the inner workings of Blender’s interface and toolset, you’ll be rewarded with a powerful and fast modeler that will make you wonder why you considered using anything else. 90003 90008 3 | Pixologic Sculptris 90009 90002 If you’re familiar with ZBrush or Mudbox, then you know how steep their learning curve can be. Such is not the case for Pixologic Sculptris — a piece of 3D modeling software that is easier to use than its name is to say. PS is a free modeling program that was initially developed by Tomas Peterson before being sold to Pixologic and marketed as the no-cost alternative to ZBrush.90003 90002 The software uses dynamic tessellation for modeling, which is essentially a geometric-independent engine that is well-suited for people without much modeling experience. If you’re looking to get into digital art, videogame development, or 3D animation, you should consider giving Sculptris a look. 90003 90008 4 | Wings 3D 90009 90002 Not to be confused with the post-Beatles Paul McCartney-led mega-band, Wings, this free 3D modeling software is a stripped down subdivision surface modeler similar to the likes of Maya or 3DS Max.Wings 3D does one thing, and does it very well. You will not find all the other bells and whistles that comparable modelers come with, but you also will not have to pay for it. 90003 90002 Wings 3D was developed as an open-source alternative to the more expensive and complex subdivision surface modelers on the market. Many of the lessons you’ll learn with Wings can be applied to other programs, making it the perfect starting point for newcomers looking to test the waters of 3D modeling, rendering, and animation.90003 90008 5 | TinkerCAD 90009 90002 AutoDesk software does not come cheap. Which is why everyone was so impressed when the released TinkerCAD — a free modeling program with a lightweight set of 3D tools for people looking to dip their toes in the water before jumping in with a full design suite of expensive software. 90003 90002 Of course, the program is designed to give people a taste of what 3D modeling feels like without giving them access to more professional grade tools. It’s sort of like a tobacco company giving away free cigarettes, only much less malicious.TinkerCAD is meant to hook young users, but can be used as a viable modeling tool for people who do not need more complex tools for their work. 90003.90000 The best 3D modelling software in 2020 90001 90002 Welcome to our guide of the best 3D modelling software. These quality programs will not automatically make you a better artist — you’ll still need to hone those 3D skills. But when it comes to creating incredible artwork and animation, having the right 3D modelling software for your style, skill level and budget certainly helps. 90003 90002 Of course, what’s right for you as a beginner or pro might not suit another artist. But whether you’re a 2D artist looking to up-skill, or a seasoned 3D pro looking to upgrade your existing tools, there’s a program out there to suit you — and you’ll find it right here.90003 90006 How to choose the best 3D modelling software 90007 90002 So how do you choose the right 3D modelling software for you? Well, there are some key considerations to bear in mind. Firstly, as a general rule, any kind of 3D work will require around 16GB RAM or more. Most of the 3D software applications here need roughly 5GB of disc space to install, but you need to take rendering into account too. 90003 90002 Also, if you’re taking your digital art seriously, then investing in one of the best graphics cards, with a fast processor and a lot of memory is highly recommended.That way, you’re much less likely to experience a lag when displaying complex 3D scenes. 90003 90002 We’ve got the best paid-for options, as well as the best free 3D software for those on a budget. You can help kick-start your creativity by downloading some free textures or free 3D models. Read on for the best 3D modelling software packages the market has to offer … 90003 90006 The best 3D modelling software: paid-for options 90007 90002 90003 Image: Autodesk 90018 01. Maya 90019 90002 An industrial-strength powerhouse, with a price to match 90003 90002 90023 Cost: 90024 £ 222 / month, £ 1,782 / year | 90023 Pricing model: 90024 Subscription | 90023 OS: 90024 Window 7 & 10; Apple macOS 10.11.x and above; Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 and 7.5; Linux CentOS 7.3 and 7.5 90003 90002 Incredibly powerful 90003 90002 Comprehensive toolset 90003 90002 Expensive 90003 90002 Difficult to learn 90003 90002 Ask any 3D artist to name the best 3D modelling software, and most will choose Autodesk Maya. Largely seen as the industry standard for CG, Autodesk Maya boasts an unrivalled range of tools and features. This hugely extensible app is not for the faint-hearted: its toolset is hugely complex and takes time to learn.However, if you’re aiming to get a job in the animation or VFX industries, you’d be wise to use the same software that the likes of ILM, Pixar, DNEG and Framestore use. 90003 90002 Maya is great at modelling, texturing, lighting and rendering — its vast feature set includes particles, hair, solid body physics, cloth, fluid simulations and character animation. There’s a chance you may never touch some of its functionality, so you need to decide if it’s actually overkill for your specific needs.90003 90002 This level of power also comes at a price — a subscription to Maya does not come cheap. But for those who have the time, skill and patience to master it, Maya has some of the best 3D tools around and is a sound investment. 90003 90002 Want to get started with Maya? Our selection of mighty Maya tutorials will help you take a step in the right direction. 90003 90002 90003 Image: SideFX 90018 02. Houdini 17.5 90019 90002 The procedural power behind today’s movie and TV VFX 90003 90002 90023 Cost: 90024 $ 4,495 / yr (Houdini FX), $ Рік: 1995 / yr (Core), $ 269 / yr (Indie) | 90023 Pricing model: 90024 Perpetual and rental | 90023 OS: 90024 Windows 7 SP1 and above; macOS 10.11 and above; Linux Ubuntu 14.04+; Linux Debian 8.0+; Linux CentOS 7 +; Linux Open SUSE 13.2+; Linux mint 17.3+; Linux Fedora 21+ 90003 90002 Industry-leading 90003 90002 Incredible VFX simulations 90003 90002 Free version 90003 90002 Complex workflow 90003 90002 Coming in second place in our guide to the best 3D modelling software is Houdini by SideFX. Widely used in the VFX industry for creating a range of amazing 3D imagery, Houdini’s node-based procedural approach provides digital artists with an unprecedented level of power, flexibility and control.This nodal workflow is not to everyone’s liking, but Houdini also has more traditional tools for directly interacting with polygons on screen. 90003 90002 Like Maya, this level of power and non-standard workflow can be tricky to get to grips with. Fortunately, SideFX offers Houdini Apprentice, a free version of Houdini FX, which can be used by students, artists and hobbyists for personal non-commercial projects. The free version gives you access to virtually all of the features of the award-winning Houdini FX to develop your skills and for working on personal projects.The full-featured Houdini Indie also provides an affordable commercial option for small studios.

Like its sister software Maya, 3ds Max boasts a very robust toolset for 3D modelling, not to mention fluid simulations, hair and fur, plus character rigging and animation.90003 90002 It uses both direct manipulation and procedural modelling techniques, and a huge library of different modifiers makes the modelling process easier for new or intermediate 3D artists. 90003 90002 3ds Max offers a professional toolset and, unsurprisingly, comes with a professional price tag. However, students can get the software for free and a trial version is also available for 30 days. 90003 90002 90003 Image: Foundry 90018 05. Modo 90019 90002 A powerful and flexible 3D modelling, texturing and rendering toolset 90003 90002 90023 Cost: 90024 $ 1,799 permanent license, $ 599 / year | 90023 Pricing model: 90024 Perpetual and subscription | 90023 OS: 90024 macOS 10.12.x and above; Windows 7 and above; Linux RHEL and CentOS 7 + 90003 90002 Excellent modeller 90003 90002 Impressive workflow 90003 90002 Some tools feel underdeveloped 90003 90002 Borne out of the development team behind LightWave 3D, Modo has grown from a basic subdivision surface modeller to the fully-featured digital content creation app we know today. Its tools have been well thought through and implemented, making it very user-friendly, and when you throw in a really solid rendering system, it’s easy to see why Modo has grown in popularity.90003 90002 With modelling at its core, Modo is one of the best apps out there for the creation of polygonal forms, using both direct tools and procedural techniques. The addition of the best-in-breed MeshFusion Boolean system simply extends its modelling repertoire. 90003 90002 Modo might lack the high-end dynamics and simulation tools you might find in a program like Maya, but it holds its own when it comes to creating stunning artwork, producing as good a 3D render as any other package currently available.90003 90002 90003 Image: Blender 90018 06.

It boasts a highly impressive 3D modelling and sculpting toolset, and is considered a completely viable alternative to paid modelling programs. Blender was notorious for its non-standard way of working, but 2.82a solves a lot of these issues, and so it will feel more familiar if you’re moving from an existing app. 90003 90002 Blender is a brilliant starting point to see if 3D graphics are for you — and we have a host of fantastic Blender tutorials to get started with elsewhere on the site. Despite the non-existent price tag, it’s capable of producing images and animation that on a par with just about any other 3D modelling software on the market. 90003 90002 90003 Image: NewTek 90018 07. Lightwave 3D 90019 90002 Fully-featured and production-proven 90003 90002 90023 Cost: 90024 $ 995 | 90023 Pricing model: 90024 Perpetual | 90023 OS: 90024 Windows 7 and above; macOS 10.11 and above.10.8 or above 90003 90002 Easy to get to grips with 90003 90002 Works as two separate apps 90003 90002 Better alternatives 90003 90002 LightWave was once the go-to app for TV sci-fi shows, but after a failed attempt to produce a modernised version, NewTek’s app lay fallow for several years. However it’s recently enjoyed something of a renaissance, and an updated version was introduced at the start of 2020. 90003 90002 Lightwave operates as two apps, Modeler — for building assets — and Layout for texturing, lighting, animation and rendering.A lot of the underlying toolset is quite old (although it’s had a lot of new features added in the last few years) but that does not stop it from being a solid digital content creation suite, with lots of features and a fast interactive PBR renderer. 90003 90002 So ignore LightWave’s reputation: it’s a great 3D modelling app for learning the basics. You can try it for yourself with the 30-day free trial, while students can pick up a copy for just $ 195. 90003 90002 90003 Image: Pixologic 90018 08.ZBrush 2020 90019 90002 Market-leading sculpting software that’s ideal for 3D printing 90003 90002 90023 Cost: 90024 $ 795 | 90023 Pricing model: 90024 License | 90023 OS: 90024 Windows Vista and above; macOS: 10.10 and above 90003 90002 Incredible sculpting toolset 90003 90002 Handles millions of polys with ease 90003 90002 Difficult to learn 90003 90002 Non-standard menus and UI 90003 90002 Needs a graphics tablet for best results 90003 90002 ZBrush is a standalone sculpting and modelling app that is best suited to the creation of organic forms — although recent updates have gradually improved its hard-surface abilities.It works in a non-standard fashion, with a workflow and user interface that’s initially very hard to learn, so you really need to get ZBrush and use it every day to become proficient. 90003 90002 However, ZBrush is not only for sculpting and modelling: it can also be used to create UV maps and paint textures, enabling seasoned artists to craft entire figures, with clothing and props, ready for rendering. ZBrush is a popular choice among artists wanting to 3D print toys and action figures, too, with tools specifically aimed at 3D printing.90003 90006 The best free 3D software 90007 90002 A license to use the best 3D modelling software currently on the market does not come cheap these days.

Developed by Eovia back in around 2001, it was acquired by Daz in 2006 and has been — very sporadically — updated ever since. Hexagon is simple subdivision surface modeller, and while Daz promotes it as a way of building clothes and props for its figure, you can use Hexagon to make anything you like.90003 90006 04.

Houdini Apprentice 90007 90002 90003 (Image credit: SideFX) 90002 Houdini is a 3D animation and visual effects tool used widely throughout the media industry for film, broadcast, entertainment and visualisation.

Like all subdivision modellers, it enables you build an underlying form made of polygons and then generate a smoothed shape by subdividing the mesh. 90003 90002 It’s pretty basic as modellers go, and the interface is a bit unusual, but it’s fairly user-friendly and an ideal way to get a feel for poly modelling, and to see if 3D might be something you could get into.90003 90006 07. Rocket 3F 90007 90002 90003 Image: Rocket 3F 90002 This Windows-only polygonal modeller promotes itself as fast, fun and friendly. The professional-looking interface is fully customisable and it boasts an extensive modelling toolset that would not look out of place in apps costing hundreds of pounds. Indeed, with sculpting, retopology tools and non-linear subdivision edge creasing, it’s a very well equipped program. 90003 90002 The free version does not allow you to change the UI or assign your own hotkeys — for that you need to buy the € 79 Pro version — but whether you’re making models for illustration, VFX or games, Rocket 3F is a class act.90003 90006 08.

And while there are a host of really good programs that pretty much everyone with an internet connection knows about, there are a few up and coming renderers and models that are soon to be on everyone’s radar. 90003 90002 These 5 3D visualization programs are making waves in the industry as viable alternatives to mainline staples like vRay, 3DS Max, Rhino, SketchUp, and Blender.You might not think it’s worth the effort to endeavor in learning a brand new piece of software, but these newbies have a lot to offer when it comes to usability, accessibility, and functionality. 90003 90002 You might not have heard of these visualization programs yet, but there’s reason to put them on notice if your current suite is falling short. 90003 90008 1 | KeyShot 90009 90002 KeyShot is all about speed. It’s a powerful renderer that allows the user to view their work — lighting, materiality, geometry and camera, in real time.If workflow is something you’re constantly struggling with, it would be worth your time to invest in a program that removes the need to set up draft views and wait. And wait. And wait. 90003 90002 But, Keyshot is more than just a zippy version of every other rendering program you’ve used. It’s streamlined and accessible in a way that few other, more cumbersome programs, can be. In fact, learning the ins and outs of Keyshot is fun, and working on a scene while it’s being simultaneously rendered in real-time is truly a sight to behold.90003 90008 2 | Unicorn Render 90009 90002 As if I did not already have you at ‘Unicorn,’ this incredibly powerful and user-friendly renderer is the hottest thing in the visualization industry since the PrismaColor marker. The self-proclaimed «ultimate GPU rendering experience» is one of the speediest renderers available, and boasts compatibility with all of the most popular 3D modelers. 90003 90002 While the debate between CPU vs. GPU in terms of best utilization of computing power will likely rage on until the world is destroyed by a meteor, Unicorn provides compelling evidence in favor of their prefered horse.Whichever side of the tracks you currently fall on, there’s no denying the power, speed, and usability that come saddled alongside this beast of an alternative renderer. 90003 90008 3 | Lightwave 3D 90009 90002 For animation and video effects artists, Lightwave 3D should be on everybody’s wish list. The development of this 3D modeling software is focused on streamlining workflow and making the artist’s job easier. It’s a good pitch, and one that happens to deliver on experience and results. And though Lightwave might not be the household name some of the other programs boast, it’s won awards for functionality and usability.90003 90002 Lightwave is for visual artists, architectural visualizers, game developers, product designers, and just about anybody else who is inclined to use the most powerful, effective 3D modeling tools the market has to offer. 90003 90008 4 | Modo Creative 3D 90009 90002 Modo is a powerful one-stop-shop for people looking to invest in a single piece of software that does it all, and does it all well. Much like Keyshot, it utilizes a real-time algorithm to allow you to view a finished version of your work as you’re developing it.Modo also come stock with a full suite of intuitive modeling tools, enabling your workflow to be faster, easier, and more aligned with your skill-level. 90003 90002 For incredibly flexible and speedy modeling, Modo carries several procedural tools that can populate a scene with complex, automatically generated models. And unlike other programs that have similar tools, Modo makes them easy to understand and implement. 90003 90008 5 | Octane Render 90009 90002 As it’s super-powered namesake would suggest, Octane Render is one of the fastest pieces of software on the market.It utilizes the graphics card (GPU) in your computer and an unbiased, physically accurate rendering engine to pump out photo-realistic images and animates at a fraction of the time of its competitors. 90003 90002 Octane supports over 21 plugins, ensuring compatibility with all mainline and lesser-known modeling programs. Octane is marketed more at animators, visual effects artists, and video game developers, but can be used by architectural visualizers to create imgages that have to be seen to be believed.90003.90000 3D Visualizer 90001 90002 The world has surpassed the days of pen and paper — everything is now done on modern computers.
