The Role of 3D Designer in Visualizing Architectural Objects
Why do we choose 3D to visualize architectural objects? Because 3D is clarity, speed and efficiency! When planning design of a building, you can clearly imagine the ergonomics of the future object and see its advantages and disadvantages.

How to Combine 3D & 2D: Techniques and Methods
At the beginning of the 20th century one of the technology wonders was the possibility to broadcast the recorded TV programs, and in the age of technological progress it is becoming really difficult to distinguish between real objects and images, which exist only "inside" the computer. In this article we will try to find out what techniques of computer graphics help designers to create an unreal reality for the viewer, that is, to combine 2D-image and 3D-graphics.

Textures and Bump Maps for Realistic Raised Surfaces
Texturing is a method in 3D modeling for adding colors, textures, details to the shape or surface. It is called texture mapping and allows to possess a high level of details of an object. The color entirety of an object often depends on the mapping. Let's learn how to create a realistic texture using maps.

3D Models and Their Primary Characteristics
In these days 3D modeling reaches its mainstream popularity. It is wildly used in both gaming and movie environment as well as in science and engineering sectors. So what is 3D modeling? In simple phrases, 3D modeling is a creation of fully rendering three-dimensional objects or scenes. The product of 3D modeling is called a 3D model or a 3D object.

Polygonal 3D Modeling Techniques
Polygonal modeling is the first type of three-dimensional modeling that appeared in those days, when the X, Y and Z-axes coordinates had to be manually entered from the keyboard to define the position of points in a three-dimensional space. This type of 3D modeling is the most common form of 3D models. Furthermore, polygonal 3D models are widely used in feature films industry as well as in video games production.
