TinkerCad and other 3D models
Modeling of the Future
In this new digital age, everything can be modeled or edited digitally. From simple clocks to entire worlds, the digital future is created through modeling and coding.
As visual creatures we enjoy viewing objects rather than them simply being described to us. New objects and worlds are endowed with unique creative vision by its makers and with the magic of 3D modeling, these visions come to life. Never before have we been able to create on such a level, so as a test, I decided to get my hands on some basic 3D modeling and see how hard it truly is.
Among the plentiful free 3D modeling sites, TinkerCad provided a free and easy basic example of how to model. The site comes with a tutorial that allows new users to quickly and easily learn how to create models. I managed to breeze through the tutorial and was then set free to create my own models at ease. What TinkerCad lacks in advanced features, it makes up for with ease of use and simplicity. Within a couple hours I was able to make the basic rocket pad that you can see above.
The Image above is a 3D model done with a much higher level of skill and editing than anything I currently possess but it is more a proof of concept of the power of 3D modeling.
3D modeling also allows users to view things that they may not be able to see on normal circumstances. The Sigmund Freud House in London, a museum of one of Freud's homes is a perfect example of this. Unlike many Londoners, I live hundreds of miles from London and unless I take a flight out there, I'd never see the museum. However, thanks to the availability of 3D modeling, the museum was able to recreate the interior of the home with an interactive 3D model. Guests can now traverse the museum without ever having to actually step foot within. Creations such as this allows the modern world to create and share concepts that would previously been very difficult to share. In this high tech society, innovation proves to be among the most important aspects for staying successful and relevant and 3D modeling lets us remain creative and practical.
