7. 3D models

When you start creating 3D Models, you should be familiar with these terms:

  • Part  – a single component or body that you are designing
  • Dimension  – a constraint applied to edge length or surface size
  • Assembly  – an arrangement of parts to form a construction
  • CAD  – Computer Aided Design

Types of 3D models

There are two types of 3D models that you might like to design:

  • Geometric models   — components made entirely from lines, shapes and extrusions
  • Organic models  — involve using curves to sculpt a mesh to a desired form.

Geometric models are typically used for engineering and construction applications, while organic models are used in 3D animations and industrial design. A combination of both types is also possible.

Geometric model

Designing a 3D model for your assignment

Use this strategy to approach the design of a 3D model:

  • Draw  a rough sketch of the part with pencil and paper
  • Annotate  your sketch with dimensions, constraints or other key features
  • Plan  steps to convert your drawing to a digital model (e.g. sketch, extrude, fillet, etc…)
  • Apply  these steps in your 3D modelling software
  • Refine  your model according to other details from your sketch
  • Verify  that all dimensions and constraints were correctly applied.

Prepare your model for 3D printing

3D modelling software can export your model in a variety of formats. Depending on how or where you 3D print your model, these formats are typically used:

  • A stereolithography file (.STL)
  • A Wavefront 3D model file (.OBJ)

Steps for exporting your model in these formats are generally found in the help pages of the software you are using.

3D modelling software

Use of 3D modelling software largely depends on the model you are trying to create. If you are creating:

  • a geometric engineering component, CAD software is usually the best option
  • an organic model for 3D animation, then 3D modelling software is best.

3D Photogrammetry software

Photogrammetry software is a very useful tool for constructing 3D Models from photographs. This can be done with photos from a phone or digital camera, and then the software’s algorithms do all the work.  Visit 3D Photogrammetry tools for more information.

Ways to get 3D models

3D modelling can be used in a variety of ways. You can upload a 3D model for online interaction, 3D printing, animation or for use within VR/AR applications.

You can get a 3D model via:

  • CAD or 3D Modelling software — 3D Models can be created from scratch using this software
  • Photogrammetry — construct 3D models from photographs at the click of a button using specialised software
  • MRI/CT Scan Conversion — extract a 3D model from any CT Scan or MRI data
  • 3D Scanning — scanning an object with a 3D scanner
  • Online Collections — download an online 3D model

ASSIGNMENT 1 – Introduction to 3D Modelling – 7 th March – 50%

(compilation post of all work and references during assignment 1 ), week  1 – module introduction:.

We were introduced to the new semester and given our next modules that we would be working on. We would be focusing on 3D Digital Literacy and Animated Narratives. We were given our first assignment due for the 5th of March, where we will have to Model, UV unwrap, texture and real-time render one of the following:

  • Mantel Clock
  • Treasure chest & treasure
  • Sword & shield
  • Sci-Fi door
  • Magic Witch / Wizard Staff

I am most drawn to the sword and shield or the wizard staff as I think I could create an interesting design for one of these.

I had begun the research for this assignment by looking at the 3D staffs made by other 3D modellers on Sketchfab and seeing how they designed their staffs. I was looking for inspiration in order figure out what kind of staff I wanted to create as well as how to go about designing each part.

I created an  Inspiration List  on Sketchfab with my favourite or the most unique designs that I found: https://sketchfab.com/unamaciver/collections/staff-inspo

I was most inspired by  Meltem Ozceliks Star Staff  design here: https://skfb.ly/6UxDR

as well as  Marlena Bayer’s Staff of Eternity  design: https://skfb.ly/6XUoo

I then decided to start brainstorming and do some really rough concept sketches of potential staff designs and elements to include for my assignment model:

assignment model 3d

I continued drawing and designing more ideas for my staff for the first assignment. I began looking at staffs and weapon designs from various media and video-games.

One of my main inspirations was Final Fantasy X, an RPG game, where one of the main characters has a staff that changes design throughout the game.

assignment model 3d

I also looked at Okami, another video game, for its weapons and world designs. I love the art and style of the game and wanted to perhaps create a staff that could be found in the game.

I also looked at various staff designs and 3D artists that further helped me in my staff model concept design:

I also looked at the work of artists:

  • Adrien Chan: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1nGyxe
  • M. Barutcu: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xzwWB4
  • Nathan Mulhollen: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Aqwbzo
  • Annie Boudaghain: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8nROn
  • Ayhan Ayogan: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/amoNq

These are my cleaned-up staff designs that I came up with that I liked most!:

STAFF DESIGN

For Assignment 1, I continued making progress on finalising my staff design this week and refining this further. I wanted to make a staff that could be found in a video-game like my primary references and inspiration, yet I did not want to just copy a staff and remake it instead designing my own ideas to it. I considered making a dragon staff, however I believed this would be too difficult for someone at my modelling level and I thought I wasn’t as unique as I would like for my design. I really liked the elements of the Shinto religion in Okami, and so I wanted to incorporate parts of that into staffs the final design, whilst keeping some of the fantastical designs found in weapons in Final Fantasy.

assignment model 3d

The final staff design I am working on consists of a basic staff pole with a decorative hilt and a moon and sun at the head. Tied around the centre of the pole is a  Yoshiro shimenawa  rope, and hanging from the staff is a lantern with mala beads and an  ofuda  (paper slip).

assignment model 3d

I collected the previous image references that had elements that I wanted to include in my final staff design. I tried to look at mostly objects and crafts that could be found in real life and then used those to make a magical staff for a wizard or mage.

FINAL CONCEPT DESIGN FOR STAFF:

assignment model 3d

I made a quick line art concept sketch of my final staff from the front and side to understand how it will look the entire way around in 3D. After having finished this, I was able to finally begin modelling my staff on Maya.

assignment model 3d

I am still very new to modelling and using 3D software and am finding it difficult to create my designs from basic shapes such as cubes, spheres and cylinders how I want to, however the following YouTube tutorials on Maya have been extremely helpful in the creation of my staff model.

The Game Dev Academy tutorials especially have been really useful in helping me learn how to modify and sculpt my staff model., as well as a few other videos I have also looked at.

  • How to Model A Sword in Autodesk Maya & Substance Painter (Complete Workflow) | Maya Weapon Modeling:  https://youtu.be/xH6L1sFpgAw
  • Speed Modeling | Priestess Staff from Goblin Slayer | Maya 2019:  https://youtu.be/Qh_0pES7CNU

My model currently looks a bit bare and simple, however as I continue to refine the details and shapes, I hope I can create something that I can be proud of as a 3D modelling beginner.

This week I continued working on assignment 1, completing my model.

I had a call with Michael O’Callaghan from Oaken Studios (https://www.oakenstudios.com/) who looked at my staff model and helped show me ways to create my staff model more efficiently and effectively by using simple model shapes and showing me step by step how he would go about creating the parts of my model. This was incredibly useful for parts of my model like the bottom of the staff and the bow which were more complicated steps I was less sure on how to create.

These are screenshots of Michael’s process making parts of my staff, which I then followed myself.

assignment model 3d

He also gave me tips on how I could have made other parts of my staff such as the moon in different ways which improved my understanding and techniques using Maya a lot. I found this session extremely helpful, especially by finding out ways to create parts of my staff design much faster and easier than how I was going about creating each part.

After this talk and over the weekend, I understood how to complete my model and was able to create the bow, hilt and tassel, as well as fix up other parts of my model. I cleaned up my mesh, removing any ngons that were visible and fixed imperfections in the modelling.

assignment model 3d

However, I unfortunately found that my staff had certain mistakes that I was not sure how to correct without having to delete and completely remodel parts of the staff, such as ngons that had appeared when extruding and warping the model parts. I did not have the time to do this, but thankfully most of these mistakes are not visible. In future, however, if I was animating or sending the staff professionally and had the time, I would have recreated the staff.

assignment model 3d

I was struggling to make the cloud part of my staff, however, Jodie was able to call me and show me on discord techniques they had learned in their tutorials for how I could draw vertices on a cube, and then delete the extra parts and then extrude the faces.

assignment model 3d

Thus I completed my model.

I looked at a few reference videos on YouTube to help me when completing the UV mapping and exporting of my staff.

Reference Videos:

UV Mapping Fastest and Easiest Way in Maya 2018: https://youtu.be/cy1vqLw-agk

I also had a one-on-one tutorial with Henry to help with my assignment also. This was really helpful as he looked over my model, and liked it. He suggested ways on how to export it and to put it into a UV island and import it as units.

UV Mapping my model was probably the most difficult part of the process but after completing the tasks Alec had set to us and being able to rewatch the lectures, I was able to fully UV map my entire model in order to texture it.

assignment model 3d

Final UV Mapping:

assignment model 3d

Substance Painter:

Initially I had to upload my model to Substance Painter and bake the mesh. Then I added a couple of smart materials to give the overall staff a texture. I added masked and aterial colour selector to choose specific parts of my staff to texture. I also went onto substance share where I could download specific smart materials for silk and painted wood.

assignment model 3d

After completely texturing my staff, I then painted into it to added shadows and smaller details.

I primarily followed Alec’s video lectures to texture my staff, however I did also look at other YouTube tutorials to follow, so I could learn how to add different effects. I used the following videos as reference:

  • Old Beer Mug – Beginner’s guide to stylized texturing in Substance Painter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDzM_QwwNPY

Substance Painter Emissive maps: https://youtu.be/agrPbueG1Kw

  • Substance Painter Beginner Tutorial : Emissive Materials:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNpQ_wkEy8o

I followed the emissive tutorial which gave me the effect of my staffs lantern glowing, which I found really cool! However the emission would not load onto Sketchfab when I exported it unfortunately.

assignment model 3d

For my staff colours, I lboth used the natural colours I found on the references but also looked at the designs in Overwatch which varied between the designs and colours in skins. I was mostly inspired by Genji’s Oni and Blackwatch skins and wanted to use a similar colour scheme for my staff.

assignment model 3d

After finishing up on the texture on my staff, I was completely finished with my Staff model and then exported and uploaded it to Sketchfab.

assignment model 3d

FINAL MODEL – Moon Staff

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/moon-staff-78b10195746a4f5f89ca799be8b0305b

For this assignment I modelled, UV unwrapped, textured and real-time rendered a Magic Witch / Wizard Staff. I designed and practiced using referencing images and creating my own concept from reference; 3D Modeling Techniques; UV unwrapping; Using basic materials & textures; Real-time rendering in my model in Sketchfab.

As a novice to 3D modelling and the programs, I think completing this assignment really helped me to understand how to model, use references, and figure out how to use programs like Maya and Substance Painter. In the beginning I spent a very long time figuring out the tools and techniques to model and had never before attempted to 3D model, so I have improved a lot from the start of the semester.

I believe the parts of the assignment I did well were modelling an intricate object for the first time. I made a 3D model just how I imagined in my concept design. I heavily used references and other 3D artists and their work in order to learn as much as possible when undergoing this assignment. I learnt how to use smart materials, layers and advanced modelling as well as UV mapping.

Some mistakes I made when creating my model were having too many triangles and vertices in the final model, and a couple of ngons I couldn’t fix without having to completely remodel the entire staff, which would not be acceptable at industry level. I also was unable to export the emission glow effect I had created in Substance Painter. I believe I could have been more precise UV Mapping the model as well as fix a couple of imperfections in the model.

If I could change or remake the model again, I think I would be more accurate in modelling to make it as low poly as possible, with fewer triangles, vertices, edges and have no ngons. I would also further my knowledge of modelling in Maya and Substance Painter by learning more about vertex manipulation and sculpting with curves, as well as watching even more tutorials on various techniques I could use to improve.

In conclusion, as someone who had only begun using 3D art programs just more than a month ago, I think I successfully created a good model that made me learn so much in the time creating it and am happy with the outcome and proud of my progress. Overall, I think my model is well made to me as my first complete 3D model.

7. 3D models

When you start creating 3D models, it’s helpful to be familiar with these terms:

  • Part  – a single component or body that you are designing
  • Dimension  – a constraint applied to edge length or surface size
  • Assembly  – an arrangement of parts to form a construction
  • CAD  – Computer Aided Design

Types of 3D models

There are two types of 3D models that you might like to design:

Assignment Model | Linear Programming Problem (LPP) | Introduction

What is assignment model.

→ Assignment model is a special application of Linear Programming Problem (LPP) , in which the main objective is to assign the work or task to a group of individuals such that;

i) There is only one assignment.

ii) All the assignments should be done in such a way that the overall cost is minimized (or profit is maximized, incase of maximization).

→ In assignment problem, the cost of performing each task by each individual is known. → It is desired to find out the best assignments, such that overall cost of assigning the work is minimized.

For example:

Suppose there are 'n' tasks, which are required to be performed using 'n' resources.

The cost of performing each task by each resource is also known (shown in cells of matrix)

Fig 1-assigment model intro

  • In the above asignment problem, we have to provide assignments such that there is one to one assignments and the overall cost is minimized.

How Assignment Problem is related to LPP? OR Write mathematical formulation of Assignment Model.

→ Assignment Model is a special application of Linear Programming (LP).

→ The mathematical formulation for Assignment Model is given below:

→ Let, C i j \text {C}_{ij} C ij ​ denotes the cost of resources 'i' to the task 'j' ; such that

assignment model 3d

→ Now assignment problems are of the Minimization type. So, our objective function is to minimize the overall cost.

→ Subjected to constraint;

(i) For all j t h j^{th} j t h task, only one i t h i^{th} i t h resource is possible:

(ii) For all i t h i^{th} i t h resource, there is only one j t h j^{th} j t h task possible;

(iii) x i j x_{ij} x ij ​ is '0' or '1'.

Types of Assignment Problem:

(i) balanced assignment problem.

  • It consist of a suqare matrix (n x n).
  • Number of rows = Number of columns

(ii) Unbalanced Assignment Problem

  • It consist of a Non-square matrix.
  • Number of rows ≠ \not=  = Number of columns

Methods to solve Assignment Model:

(i) integer programming method:.

In assignment problem, either allocation is done to the cell or not.

So this can be formulated using 0 or 1 integer.

While using this method, we will have n x n decision varables, and n+n equalities.

So even for 4 x 4 matrix problem, it will have 16 decision variables and 8 equalities.

So this method becomes very lengthy and difficult to solve.

(ii) Transportation Methods:

As assignment problem is a special case of transportation problem, it can also be solved using transportation methods.

In transportation methods ( NWCM , LCM & VAM), the total number of allocations will be (m+n-1) and the solution is known as non-degenerated. (For eg: for 3 x 3 matrix, there will be 3+3-1 = 5 allocations)

But, here in assignment problems, the matrix is a square matrix (m=n).

So total allocations should be (n+n-1), i.e. for 3 x 3 matrix, it should be (3+3-1) = 5

But, we know that in 3 x 3 assignment problem, maximum possible possible assignments are 3 only.

So, if are we will use transportation methods, then the solution will be degenerated as it does not satisfy the condition of (m+n-1) allocations.

So, the method becomes lengthy and time consuming.

(iii) Enumeration Method:

It is a simple trail and error type method.

Consider a 3 x 3 assignment problem. Here the assignments are done randomly and the total cost is found out.

For 3 x 3 matrix, the total possible trails are 3! So total 3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6 trails are possible.

The assignments which gives minimum cost is selected as optimal solution.

But, such trail and error becomes very difficult and lengthy.

If there are more number of rows and columns, ( For eg: For 6 x 6 matrix, there will be 6! trails. So 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720 trails possible) then such methods can't be applied for solving assignments problems.

(iv) Hungarian Method:

It was developed by two mathematicians of Hungary. So, it is known as Hungarian Method.

It is also know as Reduced matrix method or Flood's technique.

There are two main conditions for applying Hungarian Method:

(1) Square Matrix (n x n). (2) Problem should be of minimization type.
