Is your studio still hiring 3D artists for visuals or using AI?

I'll phrase this as a hypothetical scenario.

Your web agency needs a visual of a F1 on top of a podium. The podium is actually your clients logo. The camera is top down.

- Does your agency hire a 3D guy for this or use something like Higgsfield to generate the visual.

Last year, I would say 95% of agencies would have gotten somebody to do it in Blender or C4D. But this year I feel like the majority would just use AI. But I have no real way of confirming that so I am asking here.

Personally, I feel like AI visuals can look good when you don't need anything super specific, like a close-up very detailed pen let's say. And also, it can't do good motion as of now.

Why this interests me so much is because my whole business model revolves around helping agencies as their on demand 3D support. So you would be helping me out a bunch, thanks

Should I submit on AWWWARDS?

Hi,

So for my last few weekend projects, I sat down and converted my life into a game(ified) portfolio.

Here’s the project:
https://aashishpahwa.com/

The cost of submission on awwwards is around $65 and I don't know if it'll be worth it. Has anyone ever submitted a side project like this over there?
Anyway, would love your views on this.

Built a site that shows headquarters of companies that are part of different stock market indices

​

https://hqmap.pages.dev

Have implemented multiple different indices, and have broken constituents by State/Province/Subdivison, City, Country.

Have also added map for better viewing, map is only upto city level haven't added pinpointed addresses for each company.

Also have added Market Cap, Revenue, Earning, CEO name and Pay(From Yahoo Finance).

Will run github actions job to refresh Market Cap everyday from yahoo finance using yfinance and then will run a job to refresh constituents of an index weekly from different sources based on index.

Was always looking for city/statewide breakdown of companies globally but never found a platform that did it so built it myself.

Site is mostly static and doesn't call any database or api apart from daily and weekly refresh. The data is ingested into a json from which the ui reads.

Will plan to have older jsons documented as well maybe in parquet format to analyze stuff in the future. Have also implemented dark and light mode as well.

Looking for suggestions and improvements that I can make to this.

Also please let me know if you see any defects.

Currently running e2e tests using playwright on pr for functional validation.

I made an open-source tool for designing dotted maps and 3D globes

Hi r/web_design. Globestudio makes dotted maps and animated 3D globes for landing pages, decks and launches, not GIS work. Pick the world or a country, change the dot shapes, colors and gradients, try one of 21 looks, then export PNG, SVG, WebM, MP4 or GIF. You can also paste it straight into Figma, or embed it with an iframe, a React component or a web component.

Live: https://globestudio.app/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=launch&utm_content=web_design

Source: https://github.com/alevizio/globestudio (MIT)

It runs in the browser and needs no account. What would you use it for that I haven't thought of?
