3D modelling and scale model making take a lot of time and practice in order to perfectly fashion an architecture or ship vessel model. A complete understanding of shapes, dimensions and geometries and their relationship to one another is a strong criterion that is commonly required in this field. Perhaps, 3D modelling is still far from extinction despite the popularity of CAD for doing most of the architectural work in the industry.
There is no denying that an actual 3D model is very much more valuable due to its nature of being actually perceived in a 3D physical environment than on-screen 3D which can be seen in a two-dimensional appearance. The task of scale model making in Singapore can be very rewarding but can be quite taxing in terms of effort, time and the ability to learn.
Here are some 4 basic tips you should know for skilful architectural model making:
Choosing the right materials
Having to use materials that realistically matches with your architectural project model can help deliver a realistic appearance in terms of textures. No matter what scale size you're currently working on your project mode, working on materials that match can enhance the overall output of your product, in terms of realism and narration. If you’re working for an oil rig, for example, you may want to employ metallic materials or materials that share semblance with metal. However, try to make sure that you’re not putting too much time with the materials.
Choose the best adhesive for the project
Adhesives can sometimes dictate the condition of your project. A project with poor bonding can be problematic in the time of presentation. You don’t want your project to fall apart into pieces or end up being covered by glue drips. It is best to select the appropriate substance that guarantees to deliver the best hold for your project model.’
Determine the right tools
These tools are the ones that will help you drive the process. Know the right cutting tools you should use for fashioning and sculpting your work. Have it all listed, planned and prepared before you start modelling.
Practice
Most 3d model makers in Singapore underwent rigorous training. They have learned to know what makes something perfect through the mistakes and imperfections they committed during the trial and error process. There are no known shortcuts for ‘mastery’, but it only takes practice, patience and dedication.
