29. File Formats & Plug-ins Each Application has there own file format This can save the models which can then be opened later. Other file formats can be exported which can be opened in other 3D applications such as the FBX (FilmBox)format DWG file format used for CAD The goal is to have a 3D file format that is able to be saved and opened across a wide variety of 3D applications Plug-ins are made available to help convert 3D file formats and add more functionality to 3D Applications.

30. Plug-in In another program that works alongside the existing 3D application They add extra functionality and sometimes become part of the main application or become a standalone program

34. Tasks (Word Document) 1.We have looked at a variety of modelling software applications, write a report on them highlighting the similarities and differences of the applications 2.3D models have been created using the applications for computer games. Select two 3D games you have played and research what 3D application were used to make them. 3.3D Applications use a variety of file formats to save the 3D models. Investigate what file formats can be opened and saved across different 3D application software.

35. Tasks (Word Document) 3.Find two plug-ins or modules that are available for 3DSMAX or Cinema 4d that add extra functionality to the application. Explain what functionality they add to the application. 4.3D Modelling applications can be used to create architectural models and a variety of product design. Collect two examples of present day architecture that has been designed using 3D modelling applications (CAD computer aided design). Find an image of the real piece of architecture and evidence that indicate it has been designed with a 3D modelling application.
