What is 3D Modeling Software?

3D modeling software is designed to create, edit, and manipulate 3D models used in a wide range of industries such as gaming, film production, architecture, and product design. These tools allow users to create 3D representations of objects, environments, and characters by manipulating shapes, textures, and materials in a digital space. Features typically include modeling tools for mesh creation, sculpting, texturing, and rigging, as well as rendering capabilities to visualize the final design. 3D modeling software is essential for prototyping, visualizing concepts, and preparing models for applications such as 3D printing, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR).
