3D Modeling Glossary
Regardless of the software used, 3D modeling has its own glossary. When working in the 3D space of a modeling package, the following terms are the most commonly used to define the parts that make up a 3D polygon model:
* A single point in 3D space is a vertex. The plural of vertex is vertices.
* A line connecting 2 vertices is an edge.
* Three intersecting edges, comprising of 3 vertices creates a flat plane. This plane is called a triangle.
* A polygon is a roughly square-shaped plane that consists of two or more triangles.
* Connected polygons form the outline of the 3D model. This outline is known as a mesh or a wireframe.
* The outside of the mesh – the part of the model that will be viewable – usually has a texture applied to it through a process known as skinning. Textures are also called materials in some 3D modeling packages.
* The complete textured mesh can then be animated by rigging the model. This involves filling the interior space of the model with a skeleton comprised of jointed bones, and associating areas of the mesh with a specific bone. Much like controlling a puppet, a properly rigged mesh will respond to manipulation of its underlying skeleton.

Photorealistic Renders
Many professional artists use such software tools as Poser to pose a textured and lighted 3D model to create photorealistic renders than can be used in advertisements in print and on the web, as cover art for magazines and books or as works of art in and of themselves.
* Make 3D Models from 2D Drawings with HexaGreat
* Save 3D Models from Games with 3D Ripper DX
* Make 3D from Photos with Archipelis Designer
3D Modeling Skills in Demand
3D modeling is a demanding discipline, covering a variety of mathematical and artistic abilities. However, there is a growing demand for skilled creators of 3D content in a vast variety of fields. As a hobby, it is vastly entertaining. As a career option, 3D polygon modeling can be very rewarding.
