Artist Zacharias Reinhardt uses 3D graphic software to heighten visual storytelling.

Zacharias Reinhardt is a German 3D artist who uses Blender 3D software to create conceptual digital illustrations. Many of his works, such as Final Takeoff (shown above), convey a strong sense of storytelling that is heightened by the realism of fully rendered models. Unlike 2D illustrations, these graphics allow you to view the artwork from many angles and fully immerse yourself within the 3D space created.

A 3D rendering of the car in Reinhardt’s Final Takeoff allows you to experience his work from any angle (zoom in to see the interior).

While I’ve always been loyal to the art of traditional illustration, seeing works such as these truly heighten visual storytelling without losing any sense of the artist’s expressiveness. By using Blender software to create these otherworldly graphics, Reinhardt brings fantasy a little closer to reality.
