Now, we're creating what we call a hybrid detail, here, and I call it a hybrid detail because some part of the detail is actually going to be showing you the live 3D geometry from your model, and then we're layering on top of that with 2D detail components to further embellish what we're seeing in 3D, and the real goal is to only model, to a certain level of detail, in the 3D model that's appropriate for all of your overall scales and then, only when you do these large-scale, blow-up details, would you then add the further 2D embellishments on top. Now, the 2D embellishments can be manually drafted or they can be pre-built components. In this video, we're going to work with pre-built components.
