3D computer graphics are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images. Such images may be stored for viewing later or displayed in real-time. 3D computer graphics are often referred to as 3D models. Apart from the rendered graphic, the model is contained within the graphical data file. However, there are differences. A 3D model is the mathematical representation of any three-dimensional object. A model is not technically a graphic until it is displayed. Due to 3D printing, 3D models are not confined to virtual space. A model can be displayed visually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering, or used in non-graphical computer simulations and calculations. This post is the collection of amazing 3D pictures and graphics. Enjoy!

30 Motion graphic videos inspiration.
Motion graphics (or Mograph) is a way to convey a story with the use of moving images and techniques like animation, CGI and cinematography. Here we’ve put together a new collection of stunning videos from some of the most talented mographers around.
The term is useful for distinguishing still graphics from graphics with a transforming appearance over time without over-specifying the form. Motion graphics extend beyond the most commonly used methods of frame-by-frame footage and animation. Computers are capable of calculating and randomizing changes in imagery to create the illusion of motion and transformation. Not only are the following videos are inspiring, there are also very entertaining. Enjoy!

How to Create Highly Engaging & Sharable Graphics
When it comes to content marketing there is no doubt that visuals are an important component for increasing your reach. If visuals are not equally as important as the quality of the content they represent, visuals are certainly the next largest priority.
Of course, depending on the network in which you are promoting your content, the visual itself may be the entire piece of content, thus making it equally as important as the content it contains.
This is largely the case when it comes to social networks like Instagram, Pinterest and Vine. While all three allow for the option to link to more information in the comments, caption or description sections, the visual is the content for all intents and purposes since you can’t depend on someone clicking for more information.
When it comes to creating graphics for visual social networks, there are a few key ideas you should keep in mind to increase your reach.

NVIDIA unveils the GTX Titan, an enormous graphics card that costs $1,000 (eyes-on)
NVIDIA's GTX Titan is rumor no more, as the American computer hardware company unveiled the superpowerful graphics card this morning. With 2,688 CUDA cores, 6GB of GDDR5 RAM, and 7.1 billion transistors packed into the 10.5-inch frame, Titan's capable of pushing 4,500 Gigaflops of raw power -- NVIDIA's pitching Titan as the means to "power the world's first gaming supercomputers." The company even showed off the Titan in its mightiest form, bootstrapped to two others running together (three-way SLI), which powers graphics showcase Crysis 3 running at its highest settings: a whopping 5760x1080 resolution across three monitors. Of course, a setup like that would cost you quite a pretty penny; just one GTX Titan costs $1,000, not to mention three (nor all the other hardware required to support it).
Should you prefer your gaming PCs to not be of the neon-lit, triple GPU, above-$10,000 variety, NVIDIA was also showing off the Titan in a Falcon Northwest boutique PC. The company's working with a variety of boutique PC makers to incorporate the Titan (see: Maingear), making NVIDIA's top of the line a teensy bit more accessible to your average joe.

Another characteristic of the site that you may find pretty valuable is the way of searching. What I mean is that Freepik doesn’t just give all the results randomly, apart from visiting hundreds of websites to fulfill your request, Freepik reads the contents and analyzes them in order to determine their value and relevance, according to your needs. Once you have found the desired file, it redirects you to the host site, simplifying the process, as you just take it from the source (respecting in this way both the host and the author’s rights over the files).

60+ Epic Examples of Vector Art
I personally love Vector Art, because it is just such a flexible form of art, make it one size and you can scale it up and down (resolution wise) as you please. However I love vector graphics not only because of that fact – I love the Style that vector graphics typically represent. Bright colors, crisp and clean lines, fun ideas, this is typically the type of thing you will find in a good vector illustration – sometimes cartoony, sometimes serious, sometimes minimal – always satisfying. I am sure most of you are familiar with vector graphics and art, but if not, here is a quick rundown.

In fact too much use of colors, especially the bright ones like dark orange and dark yellow, can result in poor quality and give your site a nitty-gritty appearance. Have you ever noticed that Facebook uses a single color – navy blue – in abundance on its site? Although there are many ways you can structure your site using minimalist colors, but one way to do so is the monochromatic color design.

Logo Design vs. Web Design
There is a difference between a logo design and web design. When one talks of logo design, he or she may be referring to a symbol that identifies a product or an institution usually through flag, signs or marks. In most cases this logo is not meant to sell the company or the product directly rather it is meant to derive the meaning of what it is symbolizing. On the other hand, web design is usually a very wide term that entails interface design, web graphics design and authoring among others. For authoring, there is a lot to master like proprietary software, standardizing codes, search engine optimization and also general design. Before you decide which one of these two fields to be involved with, it is always good to understand in details what each one of them entails in term of requirements and advantages.
