3D Modelling Tools: The 5 biggest problems and how to get around them
3D Modelling tools are becoming increasingly popular and with new advances in technology, the process is ever changing, but there are still key issues that have yet to be resolved.
Do you know the top issues with most 3D modelling tools?
- They’re expensive and most software packages run into several thousands of pounds per user per year
- They require a specialist team and extensive training which is an investment of time and resource
- 3D Modelling tools require expensive hardware to run
- Most are pretty rigid and prevent true creativity. There are also some limitations that can force design decisions too early in the project
- Some tools don’t accurately visualise projects with poor or over-detailed representations of a design
So how do we get around these issues?
