Title: Describe the computer-modeling process.
Course: Digital Visualization (11153) > Section: Exploring 3D Computer Modeling

Description should include

- the planning process, including sketching source materials
- software selection
- development of basic geometric shapes and forms
- use of 2D and 3D scanning to aid the creation of 3D forms
- identification of the orthographic views and x, y, and z axes
- modification of 3D forms
- the process of rendering.

Process/Skill Questions:

- When would computer modeling be used in the design or planning process?
- When would it be applicable to use Cartesian coordinates in the computer-modeling process?
- What are factors to consider when selecting a piece of software?
- How does the current software compare to similar software?
- What are the purposes of modifying 3D forms?
- What might be the consequences of not following a plan?
