I spent the last week challenging myself to design, brand and 3D model a minimal supplement. I experimented with compositing nodes to add a blur in some renders, which one do y'all like more?
Exploring 3D interactions and brutalist scale for Kinetix — a portfolio concept centered on design systems and digital products.
Focused on balancing heavy typography with fluid, tactile motion so the 3D element feels integrated rather than decorative.
Curious to hear your thoughts: does the 3D rotating showcase feel smooth and intuitive, or do you prefer flat, high-speed interactions for portfolio heroes?
The rotating 3D works here precisely because you kept it integrated, not decorative, so it reads as intent rather than showing off. For a portfolio hero I usually lean flat and fast, but this earns the motion. That heavy Kinetix wordmark has real physical weight.
Option A commands immediate attention for high-impact visual campaigns, but Option B feels much more aligned with luxury e commerce. A subtle, warmer tone creates a refined, high end look that keeps the product front and center without overwhelming the interface.
