3D Models
3D models are digital representations of three-dimensional objects created using specialized software, consisting of vertices, edges, and faces to define shapes and surfaces. They are widely used in industries such as gaming, animation, virtual reality, architecture, and product design for visualization, simulation, and interactive applications. These models can be textured, rigged for animation, and exported in various file formats for use across different platforms and engines.
Developers should learn about 3D models when working on projects involving computer graphics, game development, AR/VR applications, or simulations, as they enable realistic visualizations and interactive experiences. Understanding 3D modeling is essential for integrating assets into engines like Unity or Unreal Engine, optimizing performance, and collaborating with artists in cross-disciplinary teams.
