3D Model Hosting Benefits for Design Engineers and Artists

Cliff — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 14:37:34 +0000

The term “3D Modeling” refers to two different things, depending on whether you are speaking to a Design Engineer (Mechanical Engineer, Product Designer), or a 3D Artist (3D Animator, Digital Content Creator, 3D Game designer). These two types of 3D Models saw little overlap 10 years ago, but today, engineering designs are often used in marketing materials, advertising, training, documentation and serious gaming. The problem is converting the engineering designs into a format that is useful for 3D Artists. This video illustrates the differences in 3D models for Engineers and Artists, and includes an explanation of how 3dvia hosting eliminates this issue issue with an automatic COLLADA (.dae) conversion so that engineering designs can be reused for sales, marketing, and training materials.
