Mind-Blowing Typography in 3D | Part 1

Submitted by Richard Darell42,383 Views | 27 Comments

3D TypographyTypography is one of the true art forms that I find the most appealing when looking through magazines or surfing the web. The amount of detail sometimes implemented is just mind blowing and you can really see that the artist has taken his or her time to put the typography piece together. After floating around on the Internet in search for the most eye catching 3D typography artwork I came up with nothing short of a truly amazing list. I am sure there are many more inspiring pieces of 3D typography artwork out there so if you find any that you think I might have missed please don’t hesitate to mention a location to them in the comment area.

What should be mentioned here is that most of these are done in a 3D client like Maya, 3D Max or Lightwave. Using Photoshop or Illustrator to create these would take infinitely longer than any of these software’s so don’t even try. The way these 3D typography designs come out is pure skills in lighting, texturing and creating all the objects that are present in the design. Designers usually also use Photoshop to sort of “top off” their design by including real elements such as leaves, small items and effects. So a whole bundle of software’s are probably used to create most of these.

    Except the Brave New World one is a complete rip off of Nik Ainley’s Computer Arts 3D type tutorial:

    http://www.computerarts.co.uk/tutorials/3d__and__animation/the_new_way_to_create_3d_text

    Even the font, angles, and colour treatment are the same. It’s a nice execution, but still: credit where credit is due.

    Some beautiful stuff there… must admit, typography fascinates me though I’ve no idea how to even begin with it. Guess I’ll just stick to other 3D things til I have the time to learn. :)

    Remarkable.. Inspired me to do a few things just from words in the art (lnog story)… but visually stunning otherwise. I’ve got to get my hands on latest photoshop version. I haven’t upgraded since version 6 or 7, and the worst part is i lost the ‘7′ upgrade long ago. I have illustrator CS2 somewhere around here. Financially broke, I guess I’m what you’d call a wanna-be “starving artist”. Used to be a software pirate as a kid, but it bothers my conscience as an adult to do that, so i find that sometimes i’m better off waiting till it’s in my budget (also paces me so i don’t try to learn 500 things in one week).
