Postgraduate Certificate in Hard Surface 3D Modeling

3D Hard Surface modeling is a 3D digital object modeling technique that is used in the creation of high-quality models of hard and solid surfaces, such as vehicles, buildings, weapons, among others. This technique helps to create accurate and detailed models that are very similar to real-world objects.

To develop such models, 3D modeling software is first used to work with 3D objects and surfaces. One of the most common 3D modeling programs is Autodesk 3ds Max, which is used by professionals in the video game, animation, film and architecture industry.

In Hard Surface 3D modeling, objects are modeled using modeling tools, such as polygons, edges and vertices, which allow the shape and texture of the object to be defined. From these elements, the specific details and shapes of each object are built up.

In addition to the main modeling tools, there are other techniques used to create textures and details on objects. For example, high-poly modeling is used to add additional details to objects, such as screws, bolts and grids. Techniques such as texture painting, which involves applying textures to the surfaces of objects to create greater realism and detail, can also be used.

Once the 3D models have been created, the images can be rendered or displayed to create a photorealistic look. In that process, lights and shadows are created, and color and other special effects are added.

3D Hard Surface modeling is a 3D modeling technique used to create detailed and realistic digital models of solid objects and hard surfaces. It uses 3D modeling software, modeling tools and techniques such as high polygonization and texture painting to create detailed models. The end result is a 3D object that can be rendered and displayed as a high-quality image or animation.
