Building model It is very common in life, and building models can be seen in some exhibition halls, sales centers, urban planning bureaus, etc. The building model has a beautiful appearance and is very complicated to make. In addition to professional skills and mechanical equipment, there are also some basic principles to follow if you want to make a good building model!

The following basic principles should be followed when making building models:

1. Select appropriate model making materials: materials are the basis of model making. In fact, many times, the models that the makers spend a lot of energy to make can not achieve the desired effect, such as the cracked car model, unstable display model framework, irregular lip edges on the pressed edge, etc. In addition to the problems of processing techniques and equipment conditions, The unreasonable choice of processing materials is one of the common mistakes. Generally speaking, the model manufacturing has to go through multiple stages of molding, mold turning, molding, trimming, polishing, film pasting or painting. If the modeling materials cannot complete the necessary steps, it may lead to the deviation of the molding effect. In order to select materials correctly, producers should first fully explore the possibility of material forming and try to anticipate the whole processing process.

2. Be able to draw and look at drawings: it is a bad habit for producers to start model making hastily without fully demonstrating the production drawings, and it is easy to rework or waste materials. When making conceptual draft models, models and drawings are both auxiliary design methods. Drawings are the language of designers. Drawing a large number of sketches can help designers broaden their thinking and find the direction of design. Making conceptual models can more clearly and intuitively express the contents that cannot be expressed by two-dimensional drawings, which can make the design argument more fully. When making appearance simulation models or prototype models, drawings are not only sketches, but also the makers need to draw and copy multiple and accurate multi view and partial detail enlarged drawings. These drawings are used to standardize the shape, size, composition relationship, etc. of the models. In order to ensure that the models produced fully conform to the concept, it is necessary to have drawings to follow in the production There are pictures to refer to.

3. Pursue details, color and texture: just like a real product, a good model needs to emphasize details. In fact, there are many details of the model. One is reasonable size. One of the purposes of model making is to make products better serve people. If the central size and functional components of a model are biased, the model will lose the livability of discussing human-computer relationship and will not serve people; The second is a reasonable parting line. In model making, many producers have ignored the problem of parting line and think that it can be considered in the later structural design, but in fact, the impact of parting line on the appearance of the model cannot be ignored. In order to make the model more realistic, the position of parting line can be considered and expressed in the model production; The third is color and texture. Texture is an important expression element of product appearance. From the beginning of model making, it must be selected with the design effect as the goal. Texture and color are often inseparable elements. Model makers need to give up personal preferences, focus on the product itself to be developed, and choose materials that are both beautiful and can save more development costs.

4. Reflect the sense of space art: model making transforms the design object from two-dimensional graphics to three-dimensional shape, which not only reflects the designer's ingenious idea and artistic expression, but also requires the space imagination and idea of the producer. The design works consumed in our life, such as products, indoor space, sculpture, display, etc., all exist in a three-dimensional space state. It can be seen that people are more accustomed to and willing to accept the space form. In order to reflect the spatial sense of art of the model, the designer's design ability is certainly important, and it is also essential to understand the relationship and transformation rules between the plane image and the three-dimensional image, which also means that in the model production, more emphasis is placed on the observation, understanding, imagination and expression of all aspects to better reflect the spatial sense of art of the model.
