Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Primitive shapes can be used to create 3D models.
- 3D objects can be modified using software tools.
- Materials can be added to objects to change their appearance.
Common misconception
Detailed and complex 3D models are always created from scratch and therefore take a long time to create.
3D models usually start off by using, adding and modifying simple 3D shapes. Further detail and complexities are then added to increase the realism of the model.
Keywords
Model - a physical or digital representation of a real object
Rotate - to move an object around an axis or centre
