3D Web Design Experience
February 21st, 2010 - by Jeff Wagner
I finally got around to taking in the
3D Avatar digital experience over the weekend and the movie did not disappoint. I, like everyone else, was completely blown away from the CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) creativity that was put into this movie. When James Cameron creates a movie he does it really big and he is sure to be rewarded for his efforts when awards are to be handed out. The 3D designs were outstanding and really gets the crowd more involved in the movie when animals seem to be running/flying out of the screen right at you.
As I was walking out of the movie theater I
started thinking of 3D website designs, off the
top of my head I could only come up with a couple that really stuck out. Why weren’t there more that came to mind? One of the reasons probably is that I rarely build fully Flash websites because of my obsession with usability, accessibility and simplicity. You lose most of this when building in Flash but you do gain amazing 3D possibilities. So, I went out and did a little looking around and found some sites that have great 3D web experiences and 3D Photoshop tutorials that I wanted to share with you.
3D Websites
3D Photoshop & Illustrator Tutorials
Here is a great collection of 3D tutorials (by Smashing Magazine) that is sure to add some great 3D depth and creativity to your web designs. I use a lot of these types of elements in my designs to help the user more willingly engage and interactive with my websites.
If you know of any other 3D websites out there that are worth mentioning please share them in a comment below.
