SkewDat Plugin
Now you can transform your designs into 3D in seconds. SkewDat plugin allows you to skew any shape and fine-tune with simple non-destructive controls. Adjust the depth, height and width of your perspective to create beautiful UI that look real! It's really easy to use, and you can get started using it in just a few minutes!
Plugin features:
- Live preview your adjustments
- Minimal interface, straight to the point
- Skew multiple objects at once
- Ability to revert back to original
Skew Settings
To begin, you’ll need a UI design template. If you have many templates, you can select them all and you can skew them all at once with the same skew position.
- Select the group layer, right click, select Plugins and click on SkewDat
- Skew at -44° with the Skew Horizontal
- Skew at 32° with the Skew Vertical
- Click Apply
UI Body Shape
The next step is to create the body shape of the UI. If you have a template with radius corners, then reset those to 0°. Otherwise, just leave them as they are.
Base
- Draw a rectangle with the Pen Tool (P) to trace around the edge of the screen
- Put any fill color for now to guide you, this will serve as a guideline
- Duplicate the rectangle with another fill colo
Corner radius
- Drag the new rectangle on bottom of the UI and go down a little bit about 30px
- Select the whole group and put back the corner radius to 30° and boom both change in the same time
Don't forget to flatten the new shape because if you don't, the shape will stay rectangular. If you want to keep the corner round like this, you should always flatten before moving on.
Edit Point
Now that we've flattened our object, we can move the anchor points to fit with the screen. To do this, select the point on your object that you need to move, and try to make a body shape out of it.
- Edit manually for each corner and bring each anchor point to fit with the screen
Add linear gradient
It's time to add some color! Now that the body is created, let's add a linear gradient by following the same color as the background of your screen.
- Select the body layer, select Fill to open the color palette, select gradient
- Add many colors as many you want depending on your background
Glass UI
Let’s add some glass effect to bring your design more to life. We’ll use the same technique for the other elements by creating a body for each of them. However, since we are going to create a glass effect, we will create it differently.
- Let's make the body of each element exactly the same. This time, duplicate the same rectangle shape, drag down from 6px, add any Fill color
- Select the two layer, select Subtract selection on the Boolean groups
- Fill with FFFFFF and decrease the opacity to 60%
- Repeat for the rest of the elements
Final Touch
I think this composition is very nice. The elements are well placed and the background blends in nicely with the design. It has a nice feel to it, but it still seems to be lacking something. I think adding a shadow would make this composition even better.
- To make it fast, duplicate the body of the main screen, drag down from 10px
- Fill with 3D3BE8, add layer blur to 70
- You can add more elements or shapes for the final look
Conclusion
In conclusion, using the SkewDat plugin in conjunction with 3D UI perspective design can add an extra layer of interactive and dynamic functionality to your user interface. By incorporating the unique skewing and warping abilities of SkewDat, designers can create 3D environments that are more responsive and engaging for users. As more and more designers begin to experiment with this powerful combination, we can expect to see a wide range of innovative and exciting applications of 3D UI perspective design.
