3D is evolving into a more simplified version of itself. The latest, most popular style in 3D illustration and 3D UI elements is claymorphism. 3D objects appear to be molded, with simple, cylindrical or oval shapes. Depth is created using inner and outer shadows, but they look softer than in neumorphism.
No matter how clear the concept of NFTs is, it is probably the most popular craze on the internet at the moment.
NFTs have given almost anyone a new way to make money — by creating something visual online, you can simply sell it as a work of art. Democratization means that absolutely anyone can put their creation up for sale and that almost anything can be identified as art — whether it’s pixelated kangaroos or 3D avatars.
A Look at VR and the Metaverse
Virtual reality has moved from bulky, uncomfortable, and low-quality b2b email list headsets to the mainstream thanks to new devices from Meta and a wide range of applications for this platform.
While the idea of a metaverse is a more romantic concept based on Web3, in reality, it is likely that the big players will control this entire “pie” through means related to Web2.
The release date for Apple Glasses has not yet been announced, but it seems that the style for VR and AR has already emerged - with gesture control of windows, eye tracking, and holographic 3D shapes.
While the headsets still need to develop processing power, most of the visuals are intentionally presented as easier-to-render low-poly models, giving them a slightly clay-like appearance.
