Try Hand in 3D Modeling: Best 3D Design Apps Try Hand in 3D Modeling: Best 3D Design Apps

Throughout the past few decades the applying of 3D models has become a salient and central feature of almost every entertaining and design field. With this great “three dimensional” impact on movies, video games, advertisements or product designs people can even get a genuine feel of those objects they have never seen with their own eyes. So, as you may have already guessed, today I am going to throw some light on those 3D modeling applications I would recommend you to give a go.

3DS MAX

Topping our list, 3DS MAX will provide you with loads of advanced modeling tools and pixel perfect control over your models. Developed by Autodesk, now this comprehensive program is perhaps the most well-known 3D modeling software among creative professionals.

The application boasts the variable plethora of features: full animation support, an extensive texturing editor, a physics engine, scripting called MAXScript, and even more. Well, put it shortly, this is the most full-featured and complete package you could have to create a 3D masterpiece.

Blender

This is a free and open source alternative to the expensive 3D modeling software out there, which can be applied for generating animated films, visual effects, interactive 3D applications or video games.

Blender is rather flexible, including such features as character modeling, rigging, solids modeling, animation tools, rendering, and shading. It runs on all popular computer platforms and has a quite small installation size. All in all, Blender is an excellent choice both for professionals and beginners who do not want to spent any money.

Wings 3D

Wings 3D is another digital sculpting application you can get absolutely free of charge. It is designed for modeling and texturing from low to mid-range polygon models. Just using a mouse and keyboard, you will be able to select and modify the model's geometry aspects in four different selection modes: Vertex, Edge, Face, and Body. Although it does not have support for animations, Wings 3D will offer an extensive array of modeling tools, a customizable and user-friendly interface, support for lights and materials, and a built-in AutoUV mapping facility.

Actually, there is still a huge choice of 3D modeling software out there, but these ones are my favorites. So, if you are determined to try hand in digital sculpting, 3DS MAX, Blender or Wings 3D will definitely stand you in good stead. I hope, this guide will assist you to pick the best software for you, anyway, let me know in the comments below.

I like to use a program called Sculptris instead. I feel it's easier to work with.

I enjoy generating 3D models. Especially it concerns home and interior design programs like Sweet Home 3D. It's very convenient as there's no need to really move the furniture))
