How to Create a 3D Model of a Human

A 3D model of a human is useful for a myriad of reasons: an art project, a study of the human anatomy or even a piece of decoration. The most important thing to keep in mind is dimension. It's easy to make a human look unrealistic if you don't get the dimensions right.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure out the features of your body; for example, the size of your head in relation to your height or the length of your arm in relation to your height.

    • 2

      Use these measurements as the dimensions for your 3D human model.

    • 3

      Decide on a scale. If you want your model to be life-sized, keep your measurements as they are. If you want the model to be small, divide the measurements.
