So, we learned about two types of modeling techniques, Surface and Parametric, both of which make models that are much more round and lifelike, like dice having much more rounded edges, and connecting objects for easier modification, like Bridges and Welds. But, they are completely different ways of modeling, with similar outcomes. Surface relies more on using each of the different selections, like vertices or edges. While Parametric focuses on modifying an already made shape, with certain modifiers, and following editable formats. So, which ones better? It really depends on what is trying to be done, if we're making a table, then the Parametric's Turbosmooth as a modifier, after we extrude and modify some pieces, or using Surface for the first Primitive. But, using the Parametric is mainly a preference of mine, since it's the latest technique that we learned, not bias or anything. But, having a general shape of what we're making before the modifiers are easier to know where you could've messed up, which happens a lot in 3D modeling.
But, how does it stack against Direct Modeling. Direct Modeling is basically how most people start out modeling, since it's modifying a primitive by manually moving certain aspects, virtually, but it can still apply to regular modeling. But, since Parametric is still a bit more focused, it's a bit more reliable, in my opinion. But, Direct Modeling seems also have it's place, in making certain models that are much more specific, like 3D modeling a face, or making some other type of lumpy, handmade model. So, what did we learn this Week?
