This beginner's guide shows how to make 3D Soccer or Football and how to customize the ball. It is easy to follow and remember.

A new AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D ...

Some 3D shapes, like cubes and pyramids, can be opened or unfolded along their edges to create a flat shape. The unfolded shape is called the net of the solid. Here are some 3D shapes and their nets.

Earlier, I mentioned that you won’t use Microsoft Word to create a 3D model. You can convert a 2D shape into a 3D shape, but doing so is tedious, and these shapes limit perspectives.

The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. There are many types of nets for the different 3D shapes. A net is made from polygons that can be folded and joined to make a ...

That’s so old school! Today, scientists will describe how flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer can be programmed to self-morph into complex 3D shapes. In the future, this technique could be ...

For the first time, researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material. These shapes self-fold in seconds.
