How to Draw 3D Shapes

Drawing 3D shapes might seem tricky at first, but with the right tools, it becomes much easier. Whether you want to create 3D cubes, bold 3D letters, or experiment with complex forms, Greybox is here to help. This guide will show you how to bring depth and dimension to your designs using simple techniques—all within Greybox.

Understanding the X, Y, and Z Axes

In 2D design, you work with just X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axes. In 3D, you add the Z-axis, which controls depth. This extra dimension allows you to move, rotate, and position objects in ways that aren't possible in 2D.

Try it in Greybox

Greybox makes it easy to navigate 3D space with intuitive controls. Move objects along the X, Y, and Z axes seamlessly and visualize designs from any angle in real time.

Creating 3D Cubes Instantly

In Greybox, you don't need to manually construct a cube from a 2D shape. Simply add a cube directly into your scene and manipulate it instantly in 3D space.

With Greybox, just click to place a cube, then scale, move, and rotate it effortlessly. No need to start from 2D—just think and design in 3D from the start.

Typing 3D Letters Instantly

Unlike traditional design software where you extrude 2D text into 3D, Greybox allows you to type in fully 3D text right away. Adjust size, position, and rotation to integrate text into your designs seamlessly.
