Mind-Blowing Typography in 3D | Part 1

Submitted by Richard Darell on Thursday, 5 November 20095,096 Views | 6 Comments

Typography 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.
