Volumetric Modeling

Volumetric Modeling is a way to create digital shapes in CGI design by using 3D blocks or grids called voxels. Each voxel holds information about color, density, or material, which helps artists make things like clouds, smoke, or soft objects that look real and have depth. Volumetric Modeling is good for showing things that are not hard or flat, like fog or fire, because it fills up space instead of just making surfaces. Designers can use this method to make medical images, special effects, or even sculptures for 3D printing. Volumetric Modeling lets designers cut, add, or change parts of the shape easily, which helps when making changes or testing new ideas.
