Kodiia: An Immersive and Modern 3D Asset Learning Experience

The goal of this UI/UX design exercise was to create an immersive and modern 3D asset learning experience. We set out to refresh the existing design and make it more engaging and intuitive for users. Operating as an online desktop and mobile app, our website captivates users with its playful and fun approach to teaching 3D assets. Drawing inspiration from "frosted glass" elements, we incorporated them into the interface to complement the vibrant 3D objects.

A Friendly Symbol for Kodia

Creating a new logo for Kodia was a key aspect of the project. Aligned with the brand's colors, my goal was to design a friendly and inviting logo that would resonate with the target audience. For the icon and favicon, I combined the letter "K" with an exclamation mark and an angle bracket, representing the project's blend of fun and technical elements. I developed six logo variations, with the client selecting the second version. The resulting logo embodies a welcoming and captivating symbol, reflecting Kodia's commitment to an enjoyable and educational experience.

A User-Centric Design Approach

The design approach prioritized user friendliness and approachability. We incorporated curved edges, rounded buttons, and gradients to create a visually soft and inviting interface. This design aimed to reassure beginners about the perceived complexity of 3D, highlighting the accessibility of Kodia.

Kodia offers users the freedom to explore diverse 3D assets against captivating backgrounds like space, desert, and forest. Users can unleash their creativity and build their 3D projects in these immersive environments. Additionally, Kodia provides a range of tasks, challenges, and lessons, guiding users through the process of mastering 3D.

With a user-friendly design and interactive learning opportunities, Kodia ensures an engaging and supportive environment for users of all skill levels.

Intuitive Controls, Seamless Interactions

Our focus on user experience led to the goal of providing a seamless environment for users to interact with their projects. We achieved this by allowing users to hide controls and play freely. Collapsible side panels were designed to house controls, sliding in and out as needed. To maintain a lightweight feel, the panels were designed as half-transparent frosted glass, blending well with 3D objects. Accessing controls is as simple as tapping the blue tag with an icon, with another tap hiding them. This intuitive approach ensures easy access and a clean, immersive space for uninterrupted creativity.
