Welcome to DigitalMedia 3D Highlights - Edition 2!

This is a monthly newsletter that focuses specifically on 3D artwork, and will include picks and reviews of arguably some of the best, and often overlooked 3D work out there, as well as eventually interviews, tutorials and in-depth reviews of works both past and present. We will try to keep this as varied as possible so as to bring you opinions and information on the world of 3D. We also listen to you and want your ideas! We will bring some of your best ideas to light.


Abstract 3D Reviews

This time around I want to focus on a particular style of 3D; abstract. For some, abstract 3D allows the artist to stretch and bend their mind and creativity to convey it in their artwork. We've seen some amazing pieces of abstract 3D design on this site over time and the three below are no exception.



by *Jesar is an awesomely intricate 3D abstract work that pulses with flow and creativity. This artist has a long history of trying new, unchallenged forms of abstract media and he does it well.



by =starfantazy takes on a different approach to 3D abstract by actually using many geometric forms, twisted around and placed to create a very unique, fresh style of abstract that you don't see just anywhere.



by ~perihelio flows with a naturally liquid, free-form feel and exudes originality in its basis of not only being an abstract, but also having true form. If you look closely you'll see elements of reality in this vivid world.



Abstract Tutorial Picks

Keeping in context with the theme of the article, below are 2 tutorials that explain various methods of abstract in various 3D applications. (Certain abstract tuts for certain 3D apps are extremely difficult to find, so I had to limit it to only 2.)


- A tutorial describing one method of abstract creation in 3D Studio Max.

- An abstract tutorial for Cinema 4D that explains just one of many ways to create abstracts in this application.


Thanks for taking the time to read through and keep an eye out for our next issue. If you have any suggestions on interviews or ideas on what you want to see related to 3D artwork, be sure to let us know!

We hope to have an interview of a popular 3D artist for our next issue, so do keep an eye out!
