This is a common way of modeling that is quite mechanical since we control individual faces, edges and vertices. We have a starting point, and we work with low poly shapes to create our object. Related content: More than 30 Blender modeling tools explained What makes box modeling its own type is that we start with some primitive object, such as a cube or sphere, and we use classic modeling tools to create a shape from it. Let’s dive into the types of modeling we can expect to encounter. We most likely find some types of modeling used much more frequently in some of these areas than others. Here I will list some areas where we might want to use these types of modeling just to give you a broad overview.

Instead, I want to encourage a broader view and see what each type of modeling brings with it.

But this is not a Blender exclusive article even if that is my tool of choice. Most of these types can be used in Blender. It simply depends on what kind of shape and detail you are aspiring to create. There are the techniques that I have found that seems to be generally accepted as techniques or types of 3D modeling.Īll of them are viable in one way or another. However, I have chosen to limit myself to techniques that are recognized by a slightly wider audience than just myself. You could argue that there are as many types of modeling as there are tools.

These are the types of modeling we will discuss and explore: Perhaps you can get an idea of where your next project will go or maybe you will be as amazed as I am, just how much 3D is used as a tool to visualize in so many ways. In this article I will list 10 different types of 3D modeling. Everything from box modeling to photogrammetry. There are many types of 3D modeling today. Then it struck me how vast the area of 3D modeling has become and most people don’t even know how much 3D content they see every day. I was sitting with an empty scene open in Blender, and I was thinking about my next project.
