3D graphic design has taken on a whole new life in recent years. It has also become one of the most popular effects used in nearly any field of design due to its ability to make graphics leap off the page. Movies, web design, and billboards are common hosts of 3D graphic design, but 3D is also very prevalent in designs for poster or even brochure printing.

One of the emerging trends in 3D graphics has been the development of 3D typography. You’ll see a number of examples in the collection below. But the big leap came about recently in character design, as 3D modeling and has seemingly launched into ultra-realism. From character design to development of 3D environments, the following collection looks at some of the greatest pieces released in the past year.
