User Interface Inspiration - 3D Illustrations

Ever since we introduced the new hottopbest. design, I haven't really taken advantage of some of its key features to help us share 'inspiration' on the blog. One of them is the 'video embed integration' that I have been requesting for quite some time, now it's here. For my first roundup, I wanted to share a series of 'user interface inspiration' handpicked from Dribbble.

For this somehow come back, I decided to take a closer look at: 3D Illustrations. As I mentioned before on hottopbest., I truly think that 3D has its part in product design and definitely has evolved through its many stages during the course of the last year particularly. Staying away from a 'flat design', the main goal stays the same but the visual approach is playful, unique and can get pretty creative. What do you think of the importance of 3d in product design?
