How to Start Learning 3D Modeling?

If you want to start 3D Modeling, you can start this job with Blender , a simple modeling and animation program . Blender 2 is a modeling program launched in January 1994, which is very simple to use, does not require very high system requirements, is a modeling and animation program that you can use with the lowest system requirements in the market. If you want to use a program other than Blender program, 3Ds Max Studio program is also used quite a lot for modeling, but since it is a more complex and heavy program, I will give my examples on Blender.

What is 3D modeling?

3D modeling means 3D modeling, that is, three dimensional modeling in Turkish. 3D modeling is basically drawing an object that is actually present in the digital world in a 3D way, it is three-dimensional different from normal modeling.

How can I learn the Blender program?

I recommend watching educational videos from platforms like Youtube to understand the basic dynamics and usage of Blender program. After understanding the basic usage tools, you can easily model the logic of the program and the details of the program by starting to model the objects around you in the program. If you model objects such as tables, glasses, bottles that are easier to model at first, you will have a more comfortable learning process. Since you will fail to model very detailed objects at first, you can get bored by learning modeling and you have to be careful in this regard.

Computer required for 3D Modeling

The computer you need for 3D modeling varies according to the program you use. While programs such as 3DS max, Maya want better hardware from you, Blender does not want a very good system despite being detailed. Even a 4 generation I5 processor can be rendered without any trouble on the Blender program. As long as the hardware in your system is good, your modeling screen will be more fluid and your rendering time will be proportionally shorter.

Selection of modeling program by sector

Modeling programs provide you a lot of convenience according to the sector you will be modeling, for example, Google SkechUp is very preferred by architects and furniture designers because it is very easy to learn, it is not preferred in the sectors that require animation because it does not have animation feature. We can list the modeling program choices by sector as follows;

Animation and Cinema: Cinema 4D, Maya.

Space, Land modeling : Vue

Game Industry : 3Ds Max, Blender, Maya.
