Lesson 3

Stylization defines visual identity and supports the design process by allowing flexibility through iterations and uncertainties when key elements are not finalized.

It communicates intent, evokes emotion, and transforms the work into a distinctive approach and brand.

4 Tips for Building a High-Quality 3D Model

• Match Style to purpose (Use photorealism for accuracy, or artistic styles for concept development)

• Control Color and Tone (Decide whether to go cinematic, minimalistic or vibrant to match the project’s mood)

• Simplify Strategically (Don’t overload details; abstraction can emphasize form and space)

• Use Post-Production Wisely (Apply filters, overlays or effects to strengthen style, not to fix weak modeling)
