Cookies, Craft & New Possibilities. 🍪
Exploring new concepts, visual languages, and possibilities with AI — without the typical generative look.
Direction, craft and attention to every frame.
The macro shots of the cookie texture almost don't read as AI at all, which I'm guessing was the whole point. What's your process for avoiding that generic AI sheen everyone's gotten tired of?
Hey Diego! This is essentially my role in the project: overseeing the 3D creative direction, especially the physics, shaders, textures, and lighting.
I translated all of this 3D knowledge into structured JSON prompts, defining how materials should react, how the physics should...
Structured JSON prompts for the physics and shader behavior is a level of control most people don't realize is possible with these tools yet, they're still typing plain sentences and hoping. Did you build that prompt structure from scratch for this project, or is it a system you've refined across a few jobs now?

after presenting more brand directions than I can count, one thing I’ve learned: I never jump straight into showing the visuals.
first I want to establish what we're actually trying to solve.
what we heard from the client. what they want to be known for. where they sit in the market. what needs to feel different.
then the big idea, and how it translates into type, colour, imagery and graphic elements.
only then the designs.
context changes how you judge the work.
midcode 2.0 is out. The biggest update so far.
the idea in the long run is to edit all frontend and backend visually + agentically
New interface
More integrations Vue, Astro, Angular, Shopify and 15 more stacks, edited on the canvas
Databases: your tables and SQL
Start projects from scratch, and a marketplace of starters
