Such sculptures may be in high relief-projecting boldly from the surface-or low relief-projecting only slightly from the surface. We usually think of sculpture as being freestanding, but sculptures can be attached to surfaces such as doors, altars, or church walls. The two primary types of sculpture are freestanding, which have all sides showing, and relief, which are those that stick out from a surface or background piece. All in all, while modeling and sculpting can be used to accomplish the same goal, customers should account for the type of object before choosing the method to visualize it in 3D.Sculpture is created in four basic ways: carving, modeling, casting, and construction. Traditional polygonal modeling is perfect for items with rigid shapes and surfaces, while 3D sculpting shines in creating objects with organic and smooth shapes. As for the uses, it depends on the type of product. Regular 3D models are ‘built’ with polygons while 3D sculpts are created with a toolset similar to what actual sculptors use. While both techniques are pretty difficult to learn and master, each requires a different set of skills. As such, 3D sculptors tend to use digital art tablets in addition to the powerful PC setup.ģD modeling is largely seen as an umbrella term but it’s more accurate to distinguish 3D modeling and 3D sculpting. However, any person that has tried painting with it would attest that it is way too difficult and inaccurate. Sculpting can technically be done with a mouse too. The software can be operated with mouse and keyboard, like pretty much everything. There are standalone programs like ZBrush but lately, there has been a growing trend to incorporate 3D sculpting toolsets into every CGI creation program.Īs for hardware, 3D modeling requires a moderately powerful rig with a lot of processing power for rendering, especially for complex items. With sculpting, the situation is a bit more complex. There are dozens of programs for creating standard 3D models, most popular being 3Ds Max and Blender.

Last, but not least, are the differences in software and hardware used for modeling and sculpting.
