What is meant by Form changes and post modeling?
The term "support for 'free' shape modifications and re-modeling" refers to the ability of software to make flexible adjustments and modifications to 3D models or design objects that are not based on standardized shapes. This includes the capability to alter complex geometries without being restricted by fixed design templates or guidelines. Typical applications are found in product development, industrial design, and architecture, where creative and dynamic adjustments are necessary.
Typical software functions in the area of "support for 'free' shape modifications and re-modeling":
- Freeform Modeling: Tools for creating and editing models with complex and organic shapes, such as Bézier curves or NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines).
- Deformation Tools: Functions for deforming 3D models by pulling, stretching, or bending geometries to achieve desired changes.
- Retopology: Automatic or manual restructuring of a model's geometry to improve its structure or meet specific requirements, such as optimizing modeling for animations.
- Modularity and Part Modifications: Support for creating, editing, and connecting modules or components of a model to assemble complex structures from simpler parts.
- Live Changes and Previews: Real-time preview of changes to a model to receive immediate feedback and make adjustments.
- Design Change Integration: Tools for integrating changes and iterations into existing models to flexibly adapt the design to new requirements.
- Version Control: Functions for managing and tracking model versions to restore previous states or trace changes.
