So, guys, I’ve been messing around with this whole 3D modeling thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I decided to try and recreate the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold watch, you know, the fancy one you see in those luxury stores. Started this whole project just for fun, no big plans or anything.
I first got my hands on some software, I think it’s called Open3DLab or something. Found it online, seems like a good spot for artists to share their stuff, models, textures, all that jazz. It’s pretty neat, got a lot of resources, which was a huge help for a beginner like me. I grabbed a bunch of models and textures that I thought would be useful. You know, just playing around, seeing what works.
Then I started looking up the actual Rolex watches. I spent hours browsing through their official catalog, just to get an idea of the details, the design, how it’s supposed to look. Didn’t really buy anything, just doing my research. I mean, who has that kind of money to just drop on a watch, right? I just wanted to get the design right.
While I was digging around the internet, I stumbled upon this forum where people were talking about some advanced AI models. They were all hyped up about something called “Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B,” saying it’s the best model out there. This is way out of my league, but it got me thinking about how technology is just booming, you know? Like, people are using AI to do all sorts of crazy things. They’re able to generate all these high-quality texts, and it was all about this 2B model.
And then there was this other thing, Sapiens-2B. Apparently, it can do something called “1K high-resolution inference.” Whatever that means. Sounds super technical, but from what I gathered, it’s like, really good at generating detailed images. They said it was good at generalizing to in-the-wild data, which I guess means it can handle real-world stuff pretty well. People in the forums are going crazy about it, too.
I also read about something called the Arrius 2B2Plus. It’s some kind of engine, I think? Supposed to be more powerful than the older models, especially in hot and high conditions. Not really sure how that relates to my watch project, but it’s interesting how everything’s connected these days, right? Technology is just everywhere.
Putting It All Together
So, after all this research, I went back to my 3D model. Using the tools and textures I downloaded, I started building the watch piece by piece. It was tough, I won’t lie. Lots of trial and error. But slowly, it started to come together. I used some of the design elements I saw in the Rolex catalog, tweaked them a bit, and tried to make it look as realistic as possible.
It’s not perfect, of course. There are probably a million things I could improve. But hey, I’m just a regular guy having some fun with 3D modeling. And you know what? It actually turned out pretty decent. I even showed it to a few friends, and they were impressed. They were like, “Dude, you made that?” It felt pretty good, I gotta say.
- First, I downloaded the 3D modeling software.
- Then, I researched the actual Rolex watch designs.
- I explored some advanced AI models out of curiosity.
- And then, I built the 3D model of the watch, piece by piece.
- Finally, I got a decent-looking 3D model of a Rolex.
So, that’s my little adventure with 3D modeling. It’s been a wild ride, and I learned a lot. Who knows, maybe I’ll try to model something else next. Or maybe I’ll just stick to window shopping for those fancy Rolex watches. No matter what you love, just keep doing it and see where it takes you.
