3D renders in modern graphic design

Inspirationby Team WeGraphics Dec 28, 2009

3D is a fundamental component of graphic design. Adding tridimensional objects or giving depth to your text will result in a new dimension. How many times you have seen a work enriched by abstract elements and you thought they were made with a 3D graphic software. These elements can be defined "3D abstract renders". They are a trend in graphic design world for 2 reasons: they create a 3D dimension; they are easy to create. If you would like to realize your own 3d renders, then this article is for you. In the first part of the article I selected some tutorials, while in the second you'll find a gallery of inspirational works.

Tutorials

C4D: Last tut you'll ever use Not really though. just a fun one. It goes over HDRI, Radiosity, Caustics with photon lighintg, alot of features that you probably never heard of or didnt know how to use in render settings. And just sexier renders.
