Presenting Your Web Mockups With Added 3D Flair. In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to take your flat design (as in two dimensional, not flat as in the current design trend) and add some life by mocking it up on a 3D plane in perspective. The purpose of this is to present your design in a more dynamic way, giving it more depth and visual appeal. It can be a very effective way to present visuals to clients. There are a couple of ways to achieve this effect, such as using Photoshop's own 3D tools and creating 3D layers.
I am, however, more comfortable using proper 3D software such as 3ds Max as it offers much more control over the camera, allowing you to rotate around the 3D plane with greater control over the lighting and shading. Initially it may look more complicated, but when you've done this once you'll later be able to mock your work up in a matter of minutes. The principles demonstrated here are application agnostic; you'll be able to apply them to any 3D software out there. 1. Step 1 Open up your 3D application. Step 2 2. jKit - jQuery based UI Toolkit - Index.
