Gratitude and Recognition
Personal Gratitude
To all my friends who have provided valuable feedback, encouragement, and constructive critique throughout the development of Project 3D. Your observations have helped refine both the technical execution and the conceptual framework of this exploration. The willingness to engage with early models, suggest improvements, and share your perspectives on spatial representation has been invaluable to this learning journey.
Open Source Enablers
I extend profound gratitude to the Blender Foundation and the entire Blender development community for creating and maintaining the extraordinary open-source 3D creation suite that forms the technical foundation of Project 3D. The Blender community's commitment to open-source principles democratizes three-dimensional creation. This philosophy enables learning, experimentation, and creative expression without economic barriers.
Blender Foundation
For building the comprehensive 3D creation platform that enables every model in this project
Blender Developers
For continuous innovation in modeling tools, rendering engines, and workflow improvements
WebGL & GLB Standards
For creating open standards that enable 3D models to be displayed interactively in web browsers
Inkscape Team
For building the foundation of all chromatic expression in this project
Educational Resources
Gratitude to the countless tutorial creators, technical writers, and educators who share their 3D modeling knowledge freely online. From basic interface tutorials to advanced modeling techniques, these resources provide the scaffolding that enables self-directed learning. The Blender community's culture of knowledge-sharing—through video tutorials, written documentation, forum discussions, and example files—creates an accessible path from novice to practitioner.
Special appreciation for those who document not just the "how" but also the "why" of 3D modeling decisions—explaining the reasoning behind topology choices, the principles governing good edge flow, and the conceptual frameworks that inform spatial design. This deeper pedagogical approach transforms mechanical instruction into genuine understanding.
The Broader Open Source Movement
The broader open source movement deserves recognition for fostering an ecosystem where 3D modeling knowledge, techniques, and tools are shared collaboratively. This project stands on the collective work of countless contributors who believe that spatial modeling capabilities, like all creative tools, should be accessible to everyone regardless of economic resources.
