Vectary sample exercises for students

Creating an effective project plan for students to develop relevant and practical 3D skills is imperative. We have put together some ideas and suggestions that could make setting up your curriculum a little bit easier.

Task 1: Import and embed (Beginner)

Brief: Create an impressive 3D and AR product showcase for a client website and e-comm.

Learning value: Adding a 3D to a website is a useful skill not just for e-commerce, but also when creating any online content, even a personal portfolio. Alternatively, a direct link can be shared directly with a client to present a mockup or a final design. No need to send or download heavy files.

Benefits of using Vectary: Share, embed or create AR with only one link.

Skills:

✅ Importing

✅ Scene preparation

✅ Materials

✅ Augmented Reality

✅ Web design and sharing

Directions:

1. Import a 3D product - drag and drop the object (zip file) on the scene
2. Adjust the materials and lights
3. Add an AR preview
4. Share as an embed or as a direct link

Available assets: A sample 3D file for importing (import the whole zip file to load it)

Task 2: Create a branded 3D mockup (Beginner)

Brief: Present a new brand identity to a client using various 3D models to show the versatility of the logos, colors, signage.

Learning value: To successfully showcase creative ideas and designs for a new brand identity relies on having the right presentation. ****Sending a static logo will not suffice. However, using 3D for concept and mockup presentations is becoming an industry standard. (This lesson can be combined with 2D graphic design exploration. )

Benefits of using Vectary: Adding stickers or decals is fast, as it does not need any unwrapping. A large 3D model library in Studio. Embed directly to presentation software.

Skills:

✅ Importing

✅ Decals

✅ Using Library

✅ Materials

✅Augmented Reality

✅ 3D sharing

Directions:

1. Use your own logo design
2. Export the logo as SVG or PNG with transparent background
3. Import to Studio
4. Go to Elements library and choose a mockup: Object panel on the left > Workspaces tab > Vectary Elements > Mockups
5. Customize it to the brand’s colors
6. Place logo on the mockup
7. Create AR
8. Share a direct link

Available assets:

Mockups in the Elements Library

Figma template with demo logo designs

Task 3: Model a 3D robot for a game (Beginner)

Brief: Create a robot character from scratch and send your design to the studio with a direct link

Learning value: The game industry is growing rapidly and demands fast content creation. In Vectary it is easy to create game levels, characters, 3D assets using simple shapes, or complex mesh frames. The robot models are a great place to start, learn and upgrade 3D modeling skills.

Benefits of using Vectary: A useful selection of materials, colors, environment pre-sets and lighting makes the design process more effecting and on-boarding faster.

Skills:

✅ Primitives

✅ Using Gizmo

✅ Materials

✅ Modifiers: Bend

✅ Environments, Lights

✅ 3D sharing
