3D vector objects dominate the high-definition visual environment of electronic screens and devices. They feature in logos, page layouts, product identities, Web pages, icons, text effects, animation, video sequences, character design, outdoor graphics. They have the appeal of crisp, clean surfaces and vivid textures. Plus all the scaling advantages and resolution-independence unique to vector images.
You can render 3D vector objects in Illustrator for multiple designs and illustration projects. While you would need the use of 3D modelers for rendering complex objects, Illustrator is sufficient for creating 3D vectors for any graphic design project.
