In this year 2020 and even beyond, 3D modelling technologies have come to stay and will continue to be around. If you've been concerned about 3D modelling technology (there are a lot of reasons you should) and have been thinking about how it will be used in this year 2020, this article provides answers to that.

Before the year, 3D modelling has been around for a while, replacing the 2D modelling (not totally) or sometimes augmenting it. This year, however, 3D modelling and design technology is very much around and continues to be used in innovative and creative manners across different industries. There are a lot of inventions around CGIs, Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality, 3D printing and so on. And without the 3D modelling technologies, we wouldn't have all these innovations we've seen. In 2020, the trends that will shape the use of 3D modelling and how 3D modelling technology will affect the industries are briefly discussed below.

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality is catching on like wildfire these days and we will continue to see more of it in this year 2020. Users of VR can get into the digital simulation of reality with the aid of a special visor and a pair of controllers. Sometimes the controllers are replaced by motion sensors. With 3D modelling in Virtual Reality, there's an increased possibility for greater interactivity. The most recent 3D modelling software is capable of creating photorealistic and highly interactable environments, models and characters. This is definitely big news for game developers and the gaming industry in general. This means they can create more immersive Virtual Reality gameplay to get users more engrossed in the games they develop.

Also, the use of 3D modelling trends to augment Virtual Reality will be useful to companies and advertisers. They will be able to give users a more immersive feel of what they can expect from using their product. 3D modelling + VR trend will help customers have a greater feeling of a product before even using the product.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) is another trend that's catching on and has grown at a very fast pace within when it was introduced and the present. With Augmented realities, what would have been relegated to devices and gadgets can now be reproduced live through holograms. That's a big development! And at the forefront of this trend stays 3D modelling. Like with VR, 3D modelling technology allows for the creation and modelling of interactive and photorealistic holograms. There will be progress in this technology in the year 2020, and therefore, is a trend to look out for in 2020 for the use of 3D modelling technology.

Mixed Reality

Imagine if you created a 3D model of a character, and make that character sit out on a real chair! Sounds cool right? That's exactly the art of possibility offered by 3D modelling in mixed Reality. Mixed reality allows you not only to project virtual objects in the real world but also to allow this virtual object to interact with another physical object. There are even possibilities of more complex interactions, and more progress will be made this year to further improve the use of Mixed Reality and 3D modelling.

Virtual Modelling

We've seen how 3D Modelling can affect different trends and industries, and we can agree that the future of 3D modelling beyond 2020 is looking really beautiful. With 3D modelling, we can create and manipulate different shapes and create awesome models and objects from simple to more complex designs. Currently, there are new ways of creating 3D models. With VR and AR, there are newly available means of creating models without using your PC. If not in 2020, it will be in the nearest future. But whenever it happens, there will soon be absolutely no need for the PC for creating 3D models as we will be able to create complex designs from Virtual and Augmented Realities from immersive gears and hologram projections.

3D Printing

The 3D printing industry is getting a massive surge. Nowadays, 3D printers are becoming capable of creating or producing various designs. More than just be capable of such, the 3D printing machines are more readily available and affordable than they were a few years ago. 2020 promises greater growth and availability of this industry. Once you get a 3D printer, there are a lot of online repositories where you can download 3D models created with the different available modelling technologies around. And if you are looking for something unique, there are modelling software that you can use to create your printable designs. If you can't create your own designs, there are people and businesses created around the provision of such services. All you need to do is to get your idea to them and they'll help you create a stunning 3D model of what you want. Also, if you have a printable design but have no 3D printer, there are companies and people who offer such services for you. Whichever way you look at it, 3D modelling is positively affecting the 3D printing industry and has opened up a new world of possibilities. This year, there promises to be new innovations and creativity in this industry that's worth paying attention to.

The possibilities and instances for the use of 3D modelling technologies in 2020 and beyond are very wide. The technology has come to be a part of our existence. This year, there'd be mew discovery in the 3D industry that will change the way we are out a lot of activities. If you're not already looking at the use and importance of 3D modelling technology and every other aspect of the 3D technology as a whole, now is the time to do so.
