====3D Model====

In [[ARDI-VE]], a 3D model describes the //shape// of an object, in three dimensions.

You can create your own 3D models, but where possible we suggest downloading them from our ARDI Model Library - most are free, and they will save you a considerable amount of time.

There are a number of different types of asset that have a similar shape but look quite different - this is why each 3D model also needs a [[skin|skin]], which tells ARDI what colour it is and what it is made from.
