3d links

Yes, there are already scores of websites describing all the 3D links you need on the Internet, but still, I wanted to make my own list. The sites herein are the ones that are in my bookmarks, the ones that I visit regularily, the ones that have interesting resources you won't find anywhere else, or simply websites I visit when I am in need of inspiration.
