Where objects were once drawn they now flow, bounce and burst. Edges that used to be flat now have crunch, squidge and sheen. As the gap between the real and the virtual grows ever smaller, 3D design presents one of the most exciting frontiers in visual culture. Whether in gaming, product design, fashion or art, you’ll likely have noticed the rise of 3D design.
