The Elements and Principles of Three-Dimensional Design The elements and principles of design are the building blocks used to create a work of art. The elements of design can be thought of as the things that make up a work of art. The principles of design can be thought of as what we do to the elements of design.

How we apply the principles of design determines how successful we are in creating a work of art. Malone immerses himself deeply into each project, always aiming for more than just a simple 3D model. The most challenging aspect of Malone's process was discovering and defining the African style, "it was rewarding when I finally got the correct design," he adds. After assembling a ton of references, Malone made a raw sculpture to better understand the anatomical proportions of the character and design of the assets.

Marvelous Designer was employed to create and simulate the character's skirt, as well as the fabric belt tied around his waist. In the final stage, everything was assembled in Maya and rendered using Arnold. Vincent Moubeche has been creating 3D art for the past decade and currently works as an environment artist for Compulsion Games in Montreal, Canada. He's been working on this fun Super Mario fan art for two months, taking a break in December. The only unusual thing I did is rework all the metrics from the original Plaza to fit the more compacted idea I had of the area.

So many buildings were needed for the scene that, rather than making each one unique, Moubeche used kits. He then utilised placeholders with minimal details to plot the scene in 3ds Max.

From there he'll make high-poly versions of the assets with 3ds Max or ZBrush. Playing with camera angles and focal lengths allowed Moubeche to achieve happy accidents such as tilt shifts.

For this 3D art project, Moubeche also employed Substance Painter's Slope Blur for the first time: "I added a pattern with the Slope Blur to break the shape," he explains, "it brought something interesting into the scene, even if it is subtle sometimes. Work on the intricate 3D model of this Y-wing design took Ubisoft senior 3D environment artist, Encho Enchev , just three days to complete. Enchev built the model in 3ds Max, before rendering in V-Ray and applying finishing touches in Photoshop.

In his day job at Ubisoft Enchev will begin projects by making rough sketches to present his ideas to the art director. Next he creates a low-poly 3D model to figure out the correct proportions and composition for the piece, continuing with the details once he's satisfied.

Enchev adds that his inspiration comes from seeing a work of art evolve from initial sketch to a real 3D model in a movie or game. Magrini began by gathering as much reference as possible, all with different angles and lighting setups. Magrini challenged himself to achieve photorealism from the very first render of this 3D art, without any post- processing.

Character artist Sina Pahlevani worked on this image every day after work, completing it in around ten days. Rather than undertaking extensive planning, Pahlevani likes to develop his artwork throughout the process. I might change things a lot during the process. First, Pahlevani blocks out the character's shape and silhouette in ZBrush.

The second stage is adding further detail and enhancing the shape of the character, before it undergoes retopology, UV and texturing. This appetising image provided 3D student Laura Keuk with an opportunity to use shading and lighting to create a dreamy and peaceful atmosphere.

I played with the scale and rotation to add more randomness to the elements. It can just be a leaf on the ground, the way flower petals are arranged, the way light bounces off a piece of sugar, or just a cat walking. To create this haunting image, CG director, art director and environment artist Hirokazu Yokohara used a variety of notable techniques. Do you notice how much harder it is to gauge distance and catch the ball?

Scientists have a fancy word for how your eyes and your brain work together to see in three dimensions. It's called stereoscopy. Stereoscopy is what modern 3D technology tries to duplicate. There are several different types of 3D technology in use today, but they basically do the same thing. Depending upon the exact type of technology used, the 3D glasses you wear will either use special shutters, color filters, or polarized lenses to receive the images. Your brain takes care of the rest!

For example, older and some newer 3D movies have to be viewed through special red and blue sometimes red and green glasses. Images are projected in those colors — red and blue — and the special glasses make sure each eye only receives one of the images. As always, your brain puts the 3D effect together. Newer movies use polarized glasses that take advantage of the fact that light can be polarized, or given different orientations.

Newer 3D glasses with polarized lenses don't need separate colors and can give a much more lifelike experience. Your incredible brain does all this 3D processing automatically. It's a fantastic machine! The hardest part for 3D movie makers is getting a camera to do the same thing, so that they have the right images to send to your eyes via the movie screen. To get a good 3D image, you have to have two versions of the same image filmed from the exact angle as your eyes would see it.

To accomplish this, filmmakers use special film rigs that use two cameras bolted into position to mimic human eye position. To make an animated movie in 3D, animators do basically the same thing. They create two versions of each individual picture to duplicate the perspective of each individual eye. Although it's easier to get perfect images, it also takes a lot of extra time to create all the extra images.

Wouldn't life be boring if it was only in two dimensions? That third dimension adds so much fun to everything! Find a friend or family member to help you explore these fun three-dimensional activities:.

I really like your videos I hope you make more. I am going to tell you about me my name is emry I really like your videos and I have 5 brothers my best friends are makylee and jayleeI. Be sure to check out our new Wonders every day, and let makylee, jaylee, and braedyn know, too! We encourage you to embark on your own Wonder Journey to learn about movies, too! We're sure you can find lots of information at the library and online! That's cool, aniston! Hi, Shrek! Thank you for stopping by.

We love all of our Wonder Friends! We hope you've enjoyed our many Wonders! Hi, Brandon! We are sure that is probably uncomfortable. We don't think there are any 3D contact lenses, but you never know what the future holds. Maybe you could try regular contacts, then use the 3D glasses. Hi, Kendra w.! Going to the movies is always fun! You can also submit your ideas to "what are you wondering? Hello, Kevin McMurtrie! You're right, 3D glasses have also transformed rides and attractions at theme parks.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Nancy H.! We understand! A regular movie is just as good! Your welcome, Tionna Pearson! Have fun at the movies and enjoy the 3D technology!

Hi, Collin! Thank you for sharing your comment with us today! We're really glad you liked this Wonder about how 3D works, MoeMoe! Thank you for checking out Wonderopolis today It can be scary sometimes when 3D movies make things seem so real, Tyler!

Thanks for sharing your story with us! We're glad you stopped by Wonderopolis today! Thank you for sharing your 3D movie memory with us! It's amazing that 3D actually makes you feel like you're an active participant in the movie!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with everyone today! Hi, Erica and Lily! Not all 3D glasses are red and blue. What type of glasses you use depends on the type and age of 3D movie you're watching.

Some older 3D movies and some new ones are viewed through red and blue or green glasses. Some newer movies let you watch with special "polarized" 3D glasses!

That's right, Devin! But, the movie itself has some 3D magic built in so that the movie, the special glasses, and your incredible human brain all work together to create an AWESOME experience!

Thanks for your comment today! Aw, come on, Fred! We know you've got to be a little bit curious about how 3D works! Why don't you give this Wonder of the Day another try? Thanks so much for commenting today! Thanks for sharing you comment with us today, Jusin!
