Tech development hit the 3D art world and transformed it completely. Instead of drawing manually with vanishing points, using programs for 3D modelling and rendering, artists in this field of modern art have a lot more freedom.

This is why artists from creative fields like architecture, interior design, graphic design, industrial design, web design, art direction, and many others are using the best available technology to improve their modelling and rendering skills.

Every creative field has many great artists, but some of them are able to stand out from the competition. Here are some of the greatest 3D artists from different fields that you should follow on Behance.
