The world of 3D

Posted On November 12, 2012 By admin In Studio Assistants Blog /  

3d image design – Constantinos Christoudias

As technology evolves so does software . You’ve probably noticed that the most successful movies that recently came out are 3D movies (3d modelling). In addition 3D games are becoming the only option of gamers nowadays.

Have you ever wondered how the 3D movies are done? Have you ever asked yourself who is designing and who is putting together this entire stuff? Have you ever found yourself saying “WOW this is incredible and it looks so real”.

Well today I’m going to give you the answers to all those questions, along with the function of 3D software. Have you ever come across them? If yes then you know what I’m talking about, if not then you should stay tuned!

3D software such as 3ds Max, Maya, Blender and LightWave are professional software that allow you to create every single thing that comes to  mind such as objects and characters and give them life in 3D form.  For example movies like Shrek, Madagascar, Toy Story, Up and Avatar were entirely created in 3D programs from scratch.              3d modelling is done by a 3d modeller who works with Editors, VFX Supervisors, Producers and Directors.

Isn’t it just amazing to know that you can create a movie yourself without the use of cameras, lights and editing / montage programs? Isn’t it just amazing to know that you can create a game character yourself?

I bet it is.  What is even better though, is that there are thousands of tutorials out there to show you how to do it. Here is a great place to start! http://www.youtube.com/user/3dsMaxHowTos

Being a multimedia student gave me the opportunity to work on 3D software (3ds Max more specifically), and I assure you that you will be thrilled when you are about to start designing. So find a way to get your own 3D software and try to create the character that you would like to see in your favourite game or movie.
