The Need for 3D Traffic Modeling

Most countries are affected by the numerous accidents that occur on a daily basis. Many lives are lost, and many vehicles are damaged or destroyed. To address the concerns of stakeholders in the transportation industry, efforts of all manner are put forward to reduce the number of accidents on the roads. Luckily, 3D technology can be applied. The iLustra website has more details about this technology and how to obtain 3D traffic modeling for any road.

Driver Training Models

One of the applications of 3D technology is to enhance road safety by making training models for driving schools. Before the students hit the road, they need to have a well-defined town model, emulating the roads, roundabouts, street lights and other details of the roadways. Model vehicles are used to demonstrate and train the students on how to obey the traffic rules. The students are asked to drive the model vehicles from one point to the other.

Another application of the same technology is for training seasoned drivers. Fleet management firms and companies can use the 3D technology to give refresher training to their drivers and award them with a certificate that shows that they are competent enough to continue with work.

However, if you want to be an expert in such a fantastic technology then you need to take some exclusive strides. To attain the best results in 3D modeling you definitely have to have a passion for everything starting from computers to the way objects could remain placed in space. And, yes! You obviously need to be a creative thinker.

So, if you are thinking to start your career in 3D modeling then here I am with a bunch of effective tips for you which, I believe, would certainly do wonders for you.

Have a look!

1. Know the modeling software well

Whenever you will take a new project then the modeling software would be the first and foremost thing that you will come across. Thus, to know about the complete functionality of the same should be your first priority. Just ensure one thing that you are not getting lost somewhere amid of a huge number of such software available in the market. These software articles helps you for software knowledge.

Rather, you should opt for the one that you are comfortable in working with. However, as a beginner, I would suggest you go for the open source 3D modeling tools like Sketchup, Blender etc. as these will give you an opportunity learn the basics.

2. Don’t be in hurry

If you expect to be an expert in 3D modeling within just a week or so then it’s absolutely absurd! Rather, it needs immense perseverance to learn it as it is not a very simple technology. So, take your time to find the right path while knowing about all the tips and tricks throughout the learning process.

3. Follow the online tutorials

Fortunately, the internet is flooded with such videos which explain 3D Modelling tutorials for beginners. So, if you have any query then a lot of videos, forums, guidelines, manuals- everything is there to answer those!! These would help you to go through any kind of problem. Just follow them keenly and it will be a real help!

4. Identify the build area of your printer

It is quite essential to know the perfect size of the build area of the printer that you are using. It’s because you must design the objects in such a way that they will fit perfectly while printing. So, if you know the size then you could cut a huge model into several parts if needed to avoid bad aesthetics and visibility of unwanted seams after assembly.

5. Make sure to support the overhangs

If you end up curating such models which are having a greater angle than 45 degrees then a support becomes the must-needed item. Otherwise, it is pretty much likely that the model will fall apart and collapse during the printing. Although these support pieces can’t be removed easily still it is strongly recommended for the complicatedly constructed 3D models to maintain the integrity of the objects.

Winding Up

So, don’t panic with a thought in your mind that it would be very tough to be a successful 3D Modeller!! Instead, just be positive, and keep these simple yet effective tricks in your mind. I am sure these will arm you with the required information which you need to start your caravan of 3D modeling and inspire you to move ahead while pushing apart all the obstacles.

Sculpt

I usually start from DynaMesh064.zpr sphere and use these brush set.

When I becomes bore, I set SkinShade4 material to the model, turn RGB mode of standart brush and paint!

Here I cooled down, said to myself “Looks good!” and went to sleep. I didn’t remember this about a week.

Test render

I had a nice render in plans, but I didn’t decide what to do with her head yet. First of all, I should render her and draw some sketches over it. This method helps always. I shut down her eyes, so she can’t see this madness. Then I made retopology. The wireframe of the head was made using 3Dcoat. The rest was made by Zbrush with wonderful tool Zremesher. Then I merge all together in 3dmax and made UV.

I set VrayfastSSS2 material to model and customized it for test render. Light texture was drawn with Photoshop basing on color map which was imported from Zbrush. Other two textures were made similarly.

I set approximate light and rendered.

All these is need for realising some shortcomings.

1- Eyebrows should be more dark and relaxed.
2- Upper lip is too long. Mouth should be smaller.
3- Think about head decoration. It should be something interesting, unusual.
4- To clear up shoulders line.
​
I did corrections, but still didn’t devise head decoration. Grape variant wasn’t persuasive. So I left it way for a while.

Searching of idea

I opened her eyes, because I have made UV. Then I made this variant, but didn’t like it, so left it as just variant.

It is usual for me to do too many superfluous things, when I work for myself.
By the way about variants.

It is logical that you can reproach me with I haven’t clear purpose even in the middle of process. But I like this method. You never know what would be at the result. This way is more creative for me. I don’t like boring technicians. I chose the dress (var3), but still didn’t have any idea about hairstyle. Exactly that moment I got the message from familiar 2d artist.
He gave me good advice.

S – “Did you finish that girl?”
I – ”No, I want smth. special for her head, but my imagination is exhausted. Do you have any idea?”
S – “Try something ethnic!”

So I like this idea and found some references.

This is it! Exactly what I want!

Modeling

Head dress

For basis- I select head, add EditPoly modifc., choose edit edge mode and project where head dress will be using slicePlane. Click slice. Then convert received edges to spline. Delete Edit Poly modif.

Give some thickness to spline and lift it up a bit.

Time to pattern and detail drawing. As we have spline now, so we can adorn the spline with details. Select spline, click Tools>Align>Spacing tool (Shift+I)

Click Pick points and choose object wish will be “hang” along the spline. Set quantity of object in the same place set tick. Follow and click Apply.

Other details

I use Marvelous Designer for making cloth.

First of all we should import to program head model, so – called avatar. It shouldn’t be too small (there is so strange difference in measures), so I in crease scale factor in 10-100 times when import it. Then I decrease it when export accordingly. Firstly we make base which would be under metal hoop.

Click freeze. Main visible part of cloth will be “sewed” to this hoop.

Create to more pieces. Then we “sew” them and fasten to our freezed hoop. Then I arrange cloth as I wish in simulation mode. Particle Distance indicator influence on triangles quantify and folds detalization consequently. If it is smaller, we can see small details, but it needs more render time.
So we will decrease this indicator after stowage of basic masses process.

So we get this.

Click File > Export > obj. We don’t need avatar anymore. I increased scale factor so times, that’s why it should be decrease accordingly.

Dress

Dress is drawn in Zbrush as mask. Everything under mask is cut by Extract tool (as new subtool). I detalized it and get what I want.

Face details

Eyes and lashes.

Lashes were “seat” one handly. Eyes consists of two spheres – main sphere and transparent additional sphere for specks.

Hair and materials

I made hair by standard max’s Hair&Fur. Guidings were laid handly selecting then one or two at a time.

First one hair for basic volume, second one is for small hair. Materials have a bit different color.

Customization of materials is the most fascinating stage for me. You change one number, click render and wait. And again, and again… It woul be nicer to store cookies, make a big cup of tea and browse some video.

Material of head

Eyes and drops around them.

Light, render an final

There are 5 sources of light.

One of them is standart (5) – direct light. It makes left shadow and specs on face. Others are VrayLights. Main light (3) is directed from above. Additional light is from one side(4). Filling light is from left(1), it makes shadows softer by dark blue color. Back light isn’t bright (2), has some blue tint too.

So preparations are finished. It’s time to render!

So this is final:

Thank you for attention!
