# 3D website imagery: hero objects and feature icons

Many modern product sites lead with a single rendered object, such as a glass shape, a floating device or an abstract sculpture, and use small 3D icons for features. Done consistently, it makes a site feel polished. ImageQuarry lets you describe each piece with the layout in mind and keep materials and lighting consistent across the site version by version.

## How to make 3D website images with ImageQuarry

1. **Describe the hero object and layout** Say what the hero object is and where text and buttons sit, usually with the object on the right and copy on the left.
2. **Set the site's material and light** Choose one material family and one lighting setup for every image, such as frosted glass with soft top light.
3. **Make feature icons to match** Ask for small 3D icons for each feature in the same style. Each request becomes a new version, so the set grows consistently.
4. **Check them on the page** Place the downloaded images in your page builder and look at desktop and phone layouts. If an object collides with text or buttons, ask for it smaller or further to the side in a new version.

## Requests to try for 3D website images

Example requests for 3D website images: each is a brief you could send, and every answer to it arrives as a new 3D version of the website images for you to judge.

- **Hero sculpture**: Abstract hero objects suit software and fintech.
- **Floating device**: Devices floating at angles show a product.
- **Feature icons**: Matching icons explain features.
- **Pricing visual**: Simple stacked objects can illustrate tiers.
- **404 page**: Friendly 3D objects make error pages kinder.

## What 3D website images need

- **Layout first**: Hero images must leave room for headline and buttons; plan the composition around them.
- **One material family**: Mixing chrome, clay and glass on one site looks inconsistent.
- **Mobile crops**: Wide heroes are cropped on phones; keep the object near the centre-right and test on mobile.
- **Image weight**: Large images slow pages; compress and size them in your site tools.
- **Text stays live**: Headlines and buttons should be real text for accessibility and editing.
- **Edits on your 3D website images stay in versions**: When a 3D draft for your website images is close, select it and ask for the change in words; each request creates a new version and the earlier website images drafts remain in the workspace.

## Common 3D website images problems and how to word the fix

| What you are after | What tends to go wrong | How to phrase it |
|---|---|---|
| Space for copy | Object behind the headline | Ask for the object on the right half |
| Consistent material | Icons use different materials | Use the hero as a reference |
| Brand colours | Accents drift | Name the brand accent colour |
| Mobile-safe | Object cut off on phones | Ask for wide margins around it |
| Clean background | Busy scene behind the object | Ask for a soft plain gradient |

## What makes website images 3D?

3D website imagery is rendered-looking hero objects, icons and illustrations, made with one consistent material and lighting style, that support a website's layout, copy and calls to action.

_These are images for the page, not interactive 3D elements; interactive 3D needs web development work._

## 3D website images questions

### How do I keep a site's 3D images consistent?

Use the hero image as a reference for every other image and repeat the material and lighting words. References guide the result; review each version to see how closely it follows them.

### Will a wide hero image work on phones?

Phones crop wide images. Keep the object away from the edges and test the page on mobile.

### Can I make matching feature icons?

Yes. Ask for each icon in the hero's style; every icon becomes a separate version you can compare.

### Can these be interactive 3D?

No. These are images. Interactive 3D on a website is built by developers with web 3D tools.

### Can I go back to an earlier 3D version of my website images?

Yes. Branch from any earlier 3D version of the website images, not only the latest, and try another direction while the first path stays where it was.

### How is ImageQuarry paid for when I make 3D website images?

Every plan is paid: Starter is $9 a month and Pro is $29 a month with more monthly image credits, which helps if you make 3D website images in volume.
